The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, looking at Le Kerou in the old numbers. The outlook is a flat one for the most part – a lot of small, junked-up surf with the wind blowing the wrong way.
The first real chance to get wet is a long way off. From now until the 12th of August, it’s pretty grim. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, with the wind onshore from the WSW most days, just ruining any little bump. The water temp is 66°, which is about normal for this time of year.
But on the morning of Wednesday, August 12th, we get a little window. The swell is 3ft from the WSW, 9-second period, and the combined energy hits 149 (moderate). The real kicker is the wind: dead calm, glassy. No wind at all. That’s your session. The break is a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, and it’s exposed to the west. The swell direction lines up nicely with the optimum west swell. Just know that crowds can happen here sometimes.
That morning is the only real bright spot in the entire 16 days. After that, the wind comes back onshore and the swell drops back to weak, small stuff. The rest of the forecast is a bust. The models suggest it doesn’t stay this slow for long, so keep your fingers crossed.
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.
