The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about the same stretch, but in feet and Fahrenheit.
This is a quiet run for Le Kerou, a beginner-friendly spot that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the west. The water’s at 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
From Tuesday the 28th of July through the morning of Thursday the 6th of August, it’s mostly flat. Tiny waves, mostly 1ft to 2ft, with messy wind – cross, onshore, cross-on. The combined swell energy is weak, in the 20s to 60s. There’s a clean moment on the morning of Friday the 31st of July, but the swell is only 1ft, so it’s barely a ripple. That’s a long dry spell.
Then on Thursday the 6th of August morning, a 3ft swell from the WSW with a 7-second period shows up. It’s short-period, so a bit fat, but the wind is light and clean. The combined energy is weak at 92. It’s surfable, but ordinary. The afternoon gets messy again.
The best window is Monday the 10th of August afternoon. A 5ft swell from the west with a 9-second period – that’s a solid groundswell. The combined energy is moderate at 432, so it’s got some power. The wind is a moderate cross-onshore, so it’ll be bumpy, but it’s the biggest swell of the whole forecast. At 5ft, it’s a bit much for true beginners, but for the rest, this is the one to go for.
Tuesday the 11th of August morning drops to 3ft with cleaner wind, but the energy is lower. After that, it fades back to tiny, poor surf through the rest of the second week. The morning of the 6th and the afternoon of the 10th are your only real chances.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
