The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with ya – we’re in for a lean stretch. There’s really only a couple of windows where the stars line up, and even then, it’s not gonna be pumping. We’re lookin’ at a big gap of flat or junk conditions bookending most of the period.
The first real chance to get wet is Tuesday morning, the 1st of September, at Le Kerou. It’s a beginner-friendly spot that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the west. Early doors, it’s glassy with a clean 3ft swell out of the west, period around 9 seconds. The combined energy’s weak though, sittin’ at 169 – enough for a slide, but nothing to write home about. Water temp’s sittin’ about average for this time of year. The crowd factor? It can get busy sometimes, so don’t expect to have it all to yourself.
By Tuesday afternoon the wind swings onshore and it gets messy real quick. Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are write-offs – small and onshore. Friday’s no better.
Now, there’s a little glimmer on Saturday the 5th. Morning brings a clean cross-off breeze and a waist-high 3ft west swell (9 sec period). The afternoon actually goes glassy again with a similar size. It’s surfable but ordinary, with combined energy in the 118-149 range. Sunday the 6th morning has a light offshore, clean, but the swell’s droppin’ to 2ft. Still, if you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your window.
After that, it’s a long, bleak run. From Monday the 7th right through to the end of the forecast on Wednesday the 16th of September, it’s mostly poor surf. You get a bump on the 9th with a 6ft west swell but the wind is howlin’ onshore at 22 mph – that’s messy, lumpy, and only for the hardcore. The energy spikes to 652 which is moderate-strong, but it’s wasted. The rest is small, choppy, or blown out.
Honestly, the standout here is that glassy Tuesday morning the 1st. It’s not big, but it’s clean and you can get a few. Saturday the 5th afternoon is a close second for a glassy, mellow session. After that, we’re lookin’ at over a week of near-nothing. For an area like this, a blank run isn’t unusual, but it still stings.
Keep an eye on the forecasts, though – it tends not to stay this quiet forever.

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.
