The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next 16 days for Le Kerou.
Well, it’s a pretty quiet start. We’re looking at a solid stretch of nothing much until the very end of July. The early days are all tiny, poor quality drivel with next to no energy. From the 18th right through the 26th, it’s a long gap of flat, junk conditions. The wind is all over the place, but even when it’s clean, the swell is barely a ripple. This is normal for the area when there’s no real push.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the 27th of July. It’s still marginal, with a 4ft swell from the west and a 9-second period, but the energy is finally starting to build. The wind is a gentle cross-shore, so it’s not ideal, but it’s a sign things are waking up.
Then, Tuesday the 28th of July morning is the one to circle. That’s our standout. The swell jumps to 6ft from the WNW, with a 9-second period, and the energy is cranking. The wind is a glassy cross-offshore from the NNW, which will keep it clean. That’s a solid, powerful wave for the experienced crew. The 6ft height is getting up there, so it’s for the confident surfer who knows what they’re doing. The crowd situation is listed as “sometimes,” so you might have a few others on it, but for that quality, it’s worth it.
After that peak, it settles back down. Wednesday the 29th morning has a cleaner 3ft from the west, but the wind is light and the energy is dropping. The days after that are mostly small and weak again, with a few ordinary mornings here and there. The 1st of August has a tiny bump from the WNW, but it’s short period and weak. So, your best bet is to sit tight through the flat spell, and be ready for that Tuesday morning blast.
Rusty, signing off.
