The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you – this forecast for Le Kerou is a long, painful wait for a flicker of hope. There's a solid 15 days of poor surf conditions on the cards before we finally see something worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The whole stretch from Thursday the 27th of August right through to Monday the 7th of September is a write-off. The swell is weak, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy numbers are just sad. You'll see some days where the swell gets up a bit, like Saturday the 29th of August with 7ft to 8ft and moderate energy (513 to 665), but the wind is howling at 25 mph from the SW and WSW, making it a total mess. It's more of a kite-surfing setup than anything for a paddle surfer.
We finally get a glimmer on Tuesday the 8th of September. The morning shows a 4ft swell from the WNW with a 10-second period, and the wind swings around to the NNE at 9 mph, giving us a clean cross-offshore breeze. The energy is moderate at 453. It's not huge, but it's clean. Then Wednesday the 9th of September morning gets even better: a 6ft swell from the WSW, but the period is a short 6 seconds. The real score is the wind – a gentle offshore from the NE at 9 mph, making for clean, glassy conditions. That's a standout for the whole forecast period, even if it's not a monster.
But the true highlight lands on Friday the 11th of September morning. This is the one you want to circle on your calendar. The swell jumps to 8ft from the W with an 8-second period, and the energy is a massive 1177 – that's strong, powerful stuff. The wind is a gentle offshore from the NNE at 9 mph, so the waves will be clean and well-shaped. This is excellent surf, but with that height, it's strictly for experienced surfers. The afternoon is a bit more mixed, with a 5ft swell from the WSW and a cross-shore wind, so the morning session is the clear winner.
So, to sum it up: the first two weeks are a total bust. The best bets are Tuesday the 8th of September morning for a clean, smaller session, and Wednesday the 9th of September morning for another clean one. But the big one – the standout – is Friday the 11th of September morning. That's your shot at some real power, but it'll take some skill to handle it.
Rusty.
