The Lowdown

Alright, grab your coffee and settle in, let’s talk about what’s going on at Le Kerou. I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a tough watch. There’s some swell coming, but the conditions are fighting it every step of the way.

The water temp is sitting at about 65°, which is pretty much where it should be for this time of year, so the wetsuit isn't the issue. The problem is the wind. For the first week, almost everything is blown out by onshore and cross-onshore breezes. Real messy.

Friday the 28th kicks off with a weak 2ft swell from the west, but the wind is on it, so forget it. That bumps up through Saturday the 29th with a bigger, but shorter-period 8ft to 8ft southwest swell. The combined energy hits a massive 1003, which is pumping hard, but it's coming with a strong 25 to 37 mph onshore or cross-onshore wind. That’s just brutal. It’s going to be a washing machine. Too big for beginners, and with that wind, only the experts who love a challenge would even bother paddling out.

Sunday the 30th drops back to 6ft, but still with unfriendly wind. Same story Monday the 31st, with a 7ft west-southwest swell (756 energy) and cross-onshore chop. It’s just not happening.

We get a real beautiful moment on Wednesday morning, September 2nd. The wind goes glassy, flat calm. But the swell is only 2ft with weak energy (51). It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. That’s the tease.

The real standout, if you can call it that, comes on Saturday morning, September 5th. We get glassy winds again, and a 3ft west swell with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is 99, and the guidance says the conditions are “surfable but very ordinary”. For this stretch, that’s the best we’ve got. It’s small and weak, but it’s clean. For a beginner or someone wanting to get the board wet without getting thrashed, that’s your window. The break does say it’s a fairly consistent beginner wave, and it gets crowded sometimes, so don’t expect to have it to yourself, even when it’s small.

There’s another brief moment on Monday morning, September 7th. Glassy again, 2ft swell. Clean but tiny. That’s it.

After that, the second week just fizzles out. Swell drops to 1ft or 1.0ft, and the wind does go offshore or clean for a bit on the 10th and 11th, but there’s barely any wave energy left. A 1ft, 7-second swell with 19 energy is basically a lake.

Overall, there’s a long stretch of poor conditions here. Don't hold your breath for anything epic. The morning of September 5th is your best bet for a quiet, clean, small session at Le Kerou. It’s not going to be the best day of your life, but it's the only thing that’s worth paddling out for.

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.
