The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for our local stretch.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough start. The forecast for Le Kerou is pretty bleak for the next week or so. We're looking at a solid run of poor conditions. From Thursday the 27th of August right through until about the 4th of September, it’s just one messy, windy, choppy day after another. The swell that does show up is short-period, onshore slop, and the winds are all wrong. There’s a bit of a spike in size around the 29th and 30th, with swell hitting 7.5ft to 7.9ft from the SW and WSW, but it's being thrashed by fresh onshore breezes. The wave energy is moderate to strong (582 to 785), but it's all junk. Honestly, if you're into kite surfing, those conditions might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, it's a write-off. Then the first few days of September drop right back down to tiny, weak mush.
Now, if you've got some patience, there is a tiny glimmer. On Saturday the 5th of September, the morning shows some promise. We’ve got a clean, glassy morning with the wind dropping to nothing from the north. The swell is only 3.0ft from the west, with a period of 11 seconds. It's a long-period groundswell, so it’s got a bit of shape and push behind it, but the energy is still low (188). This spot is fairly consistent and exposed to the west, which is the optimum direction, so it could offer a few fun, clean waves, but it's nothing to get too excited about.
The following week is pretty flat and ordinary again. There's a small window on Friday the 11th of September morning where we get a light cross-offshore breeze from the NW, cleaning up a tiny 2.0ft WSW swell. The energy is weak (65), and it’s inconsistent, but it's the only other time you might get a surfable wave. The water temperature here is running about 64.4°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, no real surprises there.
So, to be honest, the standout moment, and I use that term loosely, is that Saturday the 5th of September morning. It's the only real window where the wind plays ball and the swell has a bit of quality. Everything else is a write-off. Don't hold your breath for the second week, it looks like a long, flat run. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
