The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the waves at Le Kerou for the next couple of weeks. It's a long outlook, but there’s a serious diamond hidden in the rough.
Right now, and for the next few days, it’s a pretty sad story. Small, weak swells (combined energy in the 30s and 100s) and onshore winds are making a mess of things. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year, so no surprises there. The first real chance to get wet comes on Saturday morning, September 5th. We’ve got a clean cross-off breeze from the ENE at about 6 mph, and a new 3ft swell from the west with an 11-second period. Energy jumps to 274, and for a few hours, it’s the only surfable window of the first week. Get it while it’s clean, because the wind flips onshore that afternoon.
Then it’s back to the struggle. Sunday is small and junky, and Monday the 7th has some size (4ft to 5ft with a 13-second period) and a big energy reading of 572, but the wind is shifty. The morning is just about okay with light cross-shore breezes, but it’s a marginal call. That afternoon gets wrecked by a 15 mph cross-onshore. The whole rest of that week and the start of the next is a total loss — windy, bumpy, and poor.
But hang on. The payoff is Wednesday, September 16th. The morning is a dream. The wind goes completely glassy (calm), and the ocean will be like a mirror. A solid 4ft swell from the WSW with an 11-second period is pumping, with a massive energy reading of 454. This is proper groundswell, full of power and shape. For the experts, that’s the session. Le Kerou will be absolutely firing in the cleanest conditions we’ve seen. Just get it before the wind goes onshore again that afternoon.
The next day, Thursday the 17th, drops back to small, clean leftovers, but nothing compares to Wednesday. So here’s the plan: sit out the junk, grab that Saturday morning (Sept 5th) if you’re desperate, and circle Wednesday, September 16th on the calendar. That’s the one.
Rusty, out.

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.
