The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you, this is a tough one for the region. We're looking at a 16-day window that's basically a desert for decent waves. It's a long stretch of near-flatness and poor conditions, so don't get your hopes up.
The only spot on the radar is Le Kerou, and it's a tough spot to love. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
Right now, on Wednesday the 22nd of July, we've got tiny 1ft swell from the west with a short 10-second period. The combined wave energy is a weak 18. It's clean in the morning with a cross-off breeze, but the waves are just too small to do anything. It's a surfable wave in name only.
The rest of the first week is a write-off. Thursday and Friday see the swell drop to 0.7ft, with energy numbers falling to single digits. Saturday kicks up a bit of wind but the swell is a pathetic 0.3ft with a 4-second period. By Sunday the 26th, the swell picks up to 4ft from the west, but it's a messy 7-second period and the wind is onshore and choppy. The energy hits 123, but it's all chop.
Monday the 27th of July gives us a small glimmer. The swell is 3ft from the west, 9-second period, and the morning is clean with a light cross-off breeze. The energy is 123. This is the best the whole forecast gets, and it's still "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It's a beginner-friendly size, but the quality is just not there.
After that, it's back to the same story. The swell drops off again, and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, making things choppy and lumpy. The second week is just more of the same. There's a glimmer on Monday August 3rd with a 4ft WSW swell and glassy conditions in the morning, but the period is a short 8 seconds and the energy is moderate. It's still a far cry from good.
For a beginner, the size will be safe, but the lack of quality makes it hard to recommend. The 5ft pulse on Monday afternoon with onshore wind is just a mess. The longer period groundswell that shows on August 1st (12 seconds) is a 1ft from the WSW, which is too small to matter. This spot is "fairly consistent" but it's consistently poor.
Honestly, I wouldn't paddle out for any of this. The setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer on a few of those windier afternoons than it does for a surfer. This is a pretty normal blank run for this area. Don't hold your breath, and check back in a few days. Forecasts can change.

Information about the Le Kerou Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Le Kerou provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Le Kerou can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Le Kerou surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Le Kerou) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Le Kerou may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
