The Lowdown
G'day, it's Rusty here. Look, I've stared at this forecast for Le Kerou for the next two and a bit weeks and, honestly, it's a rough stretch. The swell energy is consistently weak to low-moderate, with readings like 19, 37, and 81 in the early days. Conditions are choppy and messy, with wind swinging cross-shore or onshore most days, and the score is pretty much a flat zero through the first eleven days. There's a long gap where there's just nothing to recommend.
The first real glimmer of anything happens on Saturday, August 15th in the morning. Le Kerou sees a bit of swell bump up to 2ft from the west with an 8-second period (combined energy 66). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the north-northwest, giving us clean faces. It's surfable, but it's only a 1-out-of-10 rating – very ordinary, small, and weak. Not a standout, just the first time you could get wet without it being a total mess.
The only moment that even comes close to being a standout is the morning of Thursday, August 20th. The wind finally goes offshore, light from the northeast. We get 3ft of west swell, 8-second period, and a combined energy of 104 (moderate). The guidance says the optimum direction for Le Kerou is from the west, so the direction is right on. That northeast offshore wind will groom it clean, and it's a beginner-friendly spot with fairly consistent waves. For this stretch, that's your best bet. Crowds are possible here, though with this quality it might be quiet.
After that, the swell drops back to tiny levels with onshore winds through to the end of the forecast window on Monday, August 24th. There's no real second wind in this outlook.
So, to sum it up: mostly a write-off. If you're desperate, the morning of Saturday, August 15th will get you a float, but the morning of Thursday, August 20th is the pick of a very poor bunch. The water temperature anomaly isn't given, so I can't tell you if it's warmer or colder than average for this time of year.

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.
