The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, giving it to you straight. The next week and a half at Le Kerou is a total bummer. We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak, or blown-out surf, so don't rush to get the board wet. The water is a warm 67°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least you won't freeze if you're just going for a swim.
From Thursday the 23rd all the way through to Saturday the 1st of August, it's a bust. We're seeing waves mostly under 2 feet, with short, weak periods and energy readings that barely get off the ground. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, keeping the surface choppy and lumpy. There's a clean moment on Saturday morning the 25th, but it's only 0.7ft – you'd be bobbing around. Sunday the 26th sees a bump to 3ft, but it's a cross-on mess with a moderate breeze and weak energy. Not worth your time.
Now, if you're a patient surfer, I've got a day that's got some real fire. Sunday, August 2nd is the one to watch. The morning brings a light offshore wind from the NE, setting up a clean, glassy surface. The swell is a solid 8ft from the West, with a 10-second period, and the energy is massive with a reading of 1930. This is real groundswell power. The guidance says this spot is wide open to the West and loves a W or WSW swell, so this is a perfect match. The wave report calls it "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers," and I'm with them – at 8ft, this is for the experts only. The afternoon turns sloppy with a cross-on, so you need to be on it early.
After that, it drops off fast. Monday the 3rd has some clean windows, but the swell drops to 4ft to 4ft with okay energy, but the conditions are just "ordinary." Tuesday the 4th is smaller, and Wednesday the 5th is back to tiny. The rest of the run is more small, weak, and onshore junk.
So, the bottom line: the first nine days are a complete wash. Don't bother. Your single, stand-out window is the morning of Sunday, August 2nd. It's a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it, but that's the only session that looks genuinely worth the effort.

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.
