The Lowdown
Right then, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's in store for Le Kerou. It's gonna be a bit of a mixed bag, with more waiting than waving for a stretch. The water temperature is sitting at 66.4°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
We've got a bit of a slow start, to be honest. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th are a write-off with strong cross-onshore winds and some pretty ugly, choppy conditions. Tuesday afternoon brings a spike in energy (1720) with an 8.2ft swell, but the period is a short 9 seconds and the wind is a messy cross-shore, making it a real struggle. We'll skip that.
Wednesday the 9th morning is the first real glimmer of hope. We get a 3.9ft swell from the WSW with a clean 9-second period and a nice cross-offshore breeze from the NNW. The energy reading is a solid moderate (449), and the water gets glassy. It's a proper surfable wave, the best on offer in the early part of the outlook. The afternoon is okay too, but the wind swings more cross-shore, so the morning is the pick.
After that, things drop right off. From Thursday the 10th right through to Tuesday the 15th, it’s pretty grim. We’re looking at tiny surf, mostly under 3ft, with a mix of onshore winds and poor conditions. There's a glassy moment on Saturday the 12th morning, but the swell is only 1.3ft with a very long 16-second period, so it'll be nothing more than a knee-high trickle with long waits. Not worth paddling out.
Now, hang in there, because Wednesday the 16th morning is the standout. The swell picks up to 3.3ft from the west with a nice 11-second period, giving it some shape and push. What makes it special is the wind: a clean, gentle offshore breeze from the ENE. The energy reading is a solid moderate (248), and the description is "gentle offshore and clean". This is the session to aim for.
The rest of the second week stays small. The morning of Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th have some clean-looking cross-offshore wind, but the swells are only 2.3ft and 2.6ft. Saturday the 19th morning is similar with a 3.3ft swell. The wind is promising, but the wave heights are marginal.
Overall, the one true standout is Wednesday the 16th morning at Le Kerou. Get on it. Everything else is a pretty lean run for a while.
