Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Le Kerou over the next couple of weeks.
Well, I’ll be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a real dry spell right through to the end of the month. From now until the morning of Sunday July 27th, the surf is either too small, too messy, or just plain poor. There’s a long gap of nearly two weeks with nothing worth getting wet for. The water’s sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, if you can call that a silver lining.
The only faint glimmer of hope arrives on Monday July 27th, in the morning. Le Kerou sees a small clean-up, with a little 4ft groundswell rolling in from the west, with a nice long period of 9 seconds. The wind goes glassy – dead calm – so the ocean will be clean. The combined wave energy is moderate (181). But it’s still a marginal call, and the surf is only rated as “surfable but very ordinary.” It’s not a standout, but it’s the only real window of opportunity in the whole 16-day run. For a beginner-friendly spot like this, that morning is your best bet if you’re desperate for a paddle. After that, the wind swings onshore and it’s back to choppy conditions.
Honestly, it’s a bleak outlook. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is an unusual blank run. But forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.
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.
