The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the same outlook in feet and miles. The water is 80°, which is about average for the season.
We’ve got a slow start. The first week or so is mostly a bust. There’s swell around, but the wind is fresh and cross-onshore, making it lumpy and choppy. Wave energy readings are in the moderate to strong range, like 1997, but it’s all messy. It’s looking more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing day.
Then, on Friday the 14th, things flip. The morning goes glassy with a 3 mph south wind, and at Temae, we’ve got a clean 5ft SSW groundswell with a 13-second period. The energy is a modest 682, but the conditions are prime. That’s your best early window – a clean, glassy session.
The swell backs off after that, leaving small but clean waves. The real standout is Tuesday the 25th. That morning is glassy again, with a 7ft SSW groundswell, 14-second period, and energy of 1884. That’s a powerful, solid swell and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. This is the one to circle. Wednesday the 26th also looks excellent with clean 7ft surf and light winds, so the end of the period is looking strong.
Remember, Temae is an advanced reef break and inconsistent, so it’s not for beginners, and it can get crowded sometimes. But when it’s on, it’s on.

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.
