The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Le Kerou.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – for the next week and a half, it’s a real struggle. We’re looking at a long, frustrating gap with nothing worth paddling out for. From Tuesday the 4th of August all the way through to Sunday the 16th, it’s just one poor surf report after another. Tiny waves, messy cross-onshore winds, and lumpy, choppy conditions. A few mornings have clean, glassy conditions, but the swell is barely a ripple – 0.7ft to 1ft. It’s just not doing anything.
Then, on Monday the 17th, we get a bit of a lift. The swell jumps to 4ft from the WSW, and the wind swings around to a cross-offshore from the north at 15 mph, leaving the surface clean. But it’s still a pretty ordinary setup, and the energy is only moderate (178 to 179).
Now, here’s the two days that actually get my blood pumping.
Tuesday the 18th is the real standout. The morning kicks off with a solid 7ft WSW swell, with a gentle offshore breeze from the NE at 9 mph. The water is clean, the combined energy is strong (808), and the forecast says to expect very good surf conditions. The afternoon holds the same energy – 8ft, still offshore from the NNE. This is going to be a proper session. Just keep in mind, at over 7ft, it’s pushing into expert territory. The water temperature is about 66°F, which is pretty normal for the time of year, nothing to worry about.
Wednesday the 19th is a beast, but it comes with a massive caveat. The morning has a huge 12ft W swell, with a very long period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is enormous (3453). The wind is light and cross-shore, but it’s clean. The forecast clearly says the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. This is for experts only, and even then, it’s going to be a handful. The afternoon drops to 7ft, but the wind turns onshore from the WSW, making it a mess.
So, to sum it up: the first two weeks are a write-off. Wait for the 18th and 19th of August. The 18th is your best shot for a quality, powerful session with clean offshore wind. The 19th morning is for the big-wave crew only, if you’re feeling brave.

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.
