The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ our way for Le Kerou.

Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but the surf is gonna be a real struggle for most of it. From now right through, the swell is tiny and pretty weak, with the combined energy barely cracking 40 for most of the first week. The winds are a mess too, mostly cross-on or onshore, which is gonna leave things lumpy and choppy. There’s a real gap of poor conditions with no real standouts to speak of.

The first few days, starting Sunday the 16th, we’ve got a tiny 2ft west swell at 8 seconds, but a cross-offshore north wind is keeping it clean. It’s just too small to get excited about. By Monday the 17th, it drops even further to 1ft. The week drags on with similar tiny waves and frustrating onshore winds. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

We do see a little bump in energy on Thursday the 20th, with the swell hitting 3ft from the west at 9 seconds and the combined energy jumping to 164 (moderate). But the wind is a fresh cross-onshore, so it’s gonna be lumpy and messy. Not worth paddling out for.

There’s a brief moment on Saturday the 22nd morning where we get a clean 2ft west swell with a gentle offshore from the NNE. The energy is still weak at 48 though, and it’s just too tiny to call a standout. Later that day, the wind swings and ruins it.

The following week is more of the same. We get a few clean offshore mornings, like Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th, but the swell is pitiful – 1ft and 0.5ft. The energy is basically non-existent. By the end of the month, we see a glimmer on Saturday the 29th with a 2ft west swell at 10 seconds and 95 energy, but it’s cross-on. The cleanest shot might be the very last day, Monday the 31st, with a 2ft west swell, 9-second period, and a gentle offshore from the NE. It’s clean, but still tiny.

Honestly, there’s not a single day in this whole 16-day window that I’d call a true standout. The swell never gets big enough, and the wind is never aligned well enough for long. For a beginner break like Le Kerou, the tiny clean days might be okay for a learner to get wet, but for anyone looking for a proper wave, you’re better off waiting for the next system. The setup is just too small and too windy for anything worthwhile.

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.
