The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the cards for Le Kerou.
We’ve got a slow start with patchy, small surf and average conditions the first few days. The waves will be around, but nothing to get excited about. The water temp is sitting at 66.4°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice bonus if you’re paddling out.
Friday the 11th kicks off with a 4ft west swell, but it’s messy with a light cross-breeze. Not great. The afternoon gets worse as the wind picks up and swings onshore, making things choppy. Saturday morning the 12th looks clean and glassy with calm winds, but the swell drops right off to a tiny 2.6ft. It’s surfable but super weak and ordinary.
Sunday the 13th sees the swell bump back to 3.3ft from the west, and while the period stretches to a nice long 12 seconds, the wind is cross-onshore in the morning and then goes onshore in the arvo, so it’s not clean. The overall energy is moderate, but won’t look that great with the wind.
The start of the next week is honestly pretty flat and windy. Monday the 16th has a bit of a spike with a cross-shore wind and 6.2ft swell on Wednesday afternoon, but with a fresh breeze creating lumpy chop, it’s a write-off for a good surf. The energy is strong, but the wind kills it.
The real standout window, the one to circle on your calendar, is Sunday the 20th of September. The morning brings a solid 5.6ft west swell at a very long 16-second period, hitting the break clean with light cross-offshore winds from the east-southeast. The energy is massive, and it’s going to be excellent, powerful surf for experienced surfers. This is the one. The afternoon also holds the same size and a 15-second period, though it goes a little onshore.
Another one to keep an eye on is Saturday the 26th of September. The morning sees a 5.2ft west-southwest swell with clean, moderate offshore winds from the northeast – it’s looking very good. The afternoon is even better: the swell builds to 6.2ft from the west with a 14-second period, light offshore wind, and the energy is massive. This is top-tier, excellent surf for experienced folks, but it’s a long way out so keep an eye on the forecasts.

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.

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.
