The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Temae over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow start, to be honest, with nothing really worth paddling out for until we get through the first few days. The surf is there, but the conditions are just messy with a moderate cross-off breeze and a lot of marginal calls. We’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands.
The first real standout that gets my heart rate up is the morning of Monday the 20th of July. That’s the one. We’re looking at a 5ft swell from the SSW with a very long period of 22 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The wind is light offshore from the SW, so the surface will be glassy clean. The combined energy is a solid 3550, so there’s plenty of push. This is a reef break, so that long period will wrap in beautifully. It’s marked for experienced surfers, and rightly so – this is a setup for some real quality. Just keep in mind it’s inconsistent, so you’ll need to be patient between sets, and the crowds can show up sometimes.
The afternoon of that same Monday, the 20th, also looks decent. The swell drops a touch to 6ft from the same SSW direction, period still a very long 21 seconds, and the wind is a gentle cross-off from the SSE. The energy is even higher at 4144. It’s a top option for the experienced crew.
Looking further out, the morning of Monday the 27th of July has a bit of promise. Swell is 7ft from the SSW with a 12-second period, cross-off wind from the SSE, and the energy is 1627. It’s a clean option, but it’s a week and a half away, so less certain.
For the rest of the window, there’s a lot of onshore wind and lumpy conditions, especially from the 22nd through the 24th, where the wind swings around to the east and north-east, making it pretty average. The weekend of the 25th and 26th has some cleaner offshore winds, but the swell is small and weak, with energy dropping below 400. Not much to write home about.
The water temperature is sitting at 80°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no need for a wetsuit.
So, to sum it up: the main event is the morning of Monday the 20th. That’s your golden window. Get it while it’s clean.

Information about the Temae Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Temae provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Temae can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Temae 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 (Temae) 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 Temae 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.
