The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Lookin’ at the next couple of weeks, and honestly, it’s a bit of a slow burn at first. We’ve got a long stretch of small, messy stuff before a solid pulse of swell shows up, but you’ll be waiting over a week for the real deal. Le Kerou (Lekerou) is the only spot on the menu, so let’s see what’s on offer.
Right from the get-go, Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th are a write-off. Tiny 2ft to 4ft swell, onshore wind, and the combined wave energy is weak (55–212). Not worth paddling out for. Saturday the 12th throws us a tiny bone—3ft swell from the west, and the morning goes glassy. That’s about as clean as it gets for that tiny size, with combined energy still low (101). Still, it’s surfable, but don’t expect much. Sunday the 13th brings a bit more size (4ft) and a longer 11-second period, but cross-onshore wind trashes it, with moderate energy (311). By Monday the 14th, the morning has clean cross-offshore wind and 3ft swell, but combined energy is weak (122). It’s ordinary. The rest of that week through to the 18th is a parade of small, choppy, onshore junk. We get a few glimpses of glassy conditions on the 19th morning (2ft, 69 energy), but it’s barely a blip.
Then things turn. The standout is Sunday, September 20th. That morning delivers a clean 7ft swell from the west, with cross-offshore wind, and the combined energy jumps to 760—moderate to strong. The afternoon bumps up to 8ft, but gets a bit cross. This is the first serious swell of the outlook. The water temp is 67°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s pleasant if you’re in a wetsuit.
The absolute best on offer, though, is Monday, September 21st. We’re talking a 7ft west-northwest swell with a long 13-second period, clean cross-offshore wind, and combined energy of 2347—that’s strong, very strong. This is a proper groundswell. That longer period will see the waves start to stand up, but it’s over 8ft, so this one’s strictly for the experts. The crowd factor at Le Kerou is described as “sometimes,” so you might have company, but the quality will be worth it. Tuesday the 22nd still holds good 5ft clean surf in the morning with offshore wind and 467 energy, but the afternoon gets chopped.
Wednesday the 23rd morning cleans up again with 4ft and offshore breeze (289 energy), and then Thursday the 24th morning is another standout: 5ft from the west-southwest with a very long 16-second period, clean offshore wind, and 989 energy. That’s a lot of grunt for a 5ft wave. Again, the long period means it’s best for a point break or reef setup, and Le Kerou is exposed to the west, so it could handle it nicely. Friday the 25th has clean 4ft surf in the morning, but the northerly wind picks up to 16 mph, so it’s a bit sketchy.
To wrap it up: first week is mostly a dud with small, choppy slop. The real action kicks off Sunday the 20th, but if you want the best, pencil in Monday the 21st morning or Thursday the 24th morning. That’s when it’s on.
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.
