The Lowdown

Right, well, lookin’ at what’s on offer for the next couple weeks at Le Kerou, and I gotta be straight with ya—it’s mostly a write-off. This spot is exposed to the west, and the winds are just not playin’ ball. We’ve got a long, stinking run of onshore and cross-onshore breezes that’ll chop the place up. The water temp is sittin’ around 65°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

From August 25th right through until the morning of September 4th, it’s grim. Swell gets up, for sure—we see a reading over 5 ft on the 29th and even topping 8 ft on the 31st—but every time, the wind’s blowin’ straight on or across it. Combined wave energy hits some big numbers, like 1552 on that Monday morning, but with that wind it’s just a mess. This isn’t paddle-surfing weather; with that much swell and strong onshore wind, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Finally, on the morning of Friday, September 4th, there’s a little window. The wind swings to a light north at just 3 mph, goin’ cross-offshore, and it’s clean. The swell is a small 3 ft from the west with a period of 9 seconds. It’s weak energy (140) and the surf is labelled as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so it’s the best of a bad bunch. The trouble is, after that, the wind turns cross again and picks up, so that window is narrow.

Later on, September 8th and 9th show a bit of movement with some longer-period groundswell (12-14 seconds), but it’s still wind-affected with onshore flow. That long-period stuff tends to break a bit straight here at a beach setup, so it’s not a great match.

Honestly, if you’re desperate, that Friday morning (Sep 4th) is the only real chance for a splash. But for the rest of the sixteen days? I’d leave the board in the car and watch the horizon.

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.
