The Lowdown
Alright, this is a tough one to call from the start. You’ve got Le Kerou as the only spot on the radar, and honestly, for the next couple of weeks, it’s a real battle with the wind. The water temp is sitting at 65°F which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Saturday morning, the 5th of September. That morning, we’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the west, with an 8-second period. The real winner here is the wind – it’s offshore from the ENE at 12 mph, keeping things clean. The combined energy is weak (88), so it’s not going to be pumping, but it’s a window of clean, surfable waves. It’s a beginner-friendly break, and it’s fairly consistent, so if you’re after a longboard or a funboard, that’s your best bet for the whole outlook. Expect crowds sometimes.
The next morning, Sunday the 6th of September, is similar. A touch smaller at 2ft, but the period stretches to 10 seconds, giving it a bit more shape. The wind is cross-offshore from the ESE at 9 mph, and again, it’s clean. The energy is still low (93), but it’s another morning for the log.
Monday the 7th of September morning is the last real glimmer – 2ft, 9-second period, and a light cross-offshore from the NNW. Energy is very low (70), but it’s clean.
Outside of those three mornings, the rest of the 16 days is a write-off. From the 26th of August right through to the 4th of September, it’s onshore wind and poor conditions. Then after the 7th, it’s back to the same story – cross-onshore or onshore wind, and the swell is gutless. There’s a stretch from the 8th of September onwards where the combined energy drops into the 20s and 40s, which is barely a ripple.
So, to be straight with you: the standout is Saturday morning, the 5th of September. It’s the cleanest, most lined-up morning of the lot. If you can’t make that, Sunday the 6th is a close second. Don’t get your hopes up for anything else.

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.
