The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, talking in feet and miles per hour. This is a lean outlook for Le Kerou (France). You’ve got a big stretch of nothing at the start, so don’t rush to the water.
The first week is a bust. From Saturday, July 25th, right through the end of the month, it’s all poor surf conditions. Tiny swell, junk wind, and the water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 68°F. Not worth the drive.
We finally get a glimmer on Monday morning, August 3rd. The wind goes glassy, and there’s a 3ft groundswell from the west with a 9-second period and moderate wave energy (165). The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s not a standout, but if you’re itching, the calm wind will make it clean.
The only real pulse of energy comes on Sunday, August 2nd. The afternoon sees a 6ft swell from the west-southwest with a very long period of 11 seconds and strong wave energy (705). That’s the biggest swell of the whole 16-day window. But the wind is onshore at 12 mph, and the conditions are listed as “poor surf conditions.” So it’s a lot of water moving, but it’ll be a choppy mess. For a beach-and-reef spot like Le Kerou, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The rest of the second week is small and weak, with a few clean mornings. Saturday, August 8th, and Sunday, August 9th, have clean cross-offshore winds, but the swell is tiny—1.0ft to 4ft. The best of the bunch is Sunday morning, August 9th, with a 4ft west-southwest swell, 8-second period, moderate energy (191), and clean wind. That’s your best bet for a decent session, but it’s still nothing special.
So, from Saturday, July 25th, to Monday, August 3rd, you’ve got a 9-day gap of no surf. The only swell event is on Sunday, August 2nd, but it’s blown out. Beginners should stay away from that 6ft stuff. For the rest, wait for a clean window like August 9th morning if you’re keen.
Rusty.

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.
Le Kerou is 11 km (7 miles) from the city of Ploemeur. If you plan a holiday in Finistere - Brittany, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ploemeur. Ploemeur has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
