The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Temae.

To be honest, the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions, mainly due to persistent onshore and cross-onshore winds. The swell is there, sometimes big, but the wind just ruins it. The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Sunday, July 19th, but even then, it’s a tough call with a score that’s not worth paddling out for.

The first day with any real potential is Sunday, July 19th. We’ve got a solid 10 ft SSW groundswell (12-second period) rolling in, and the combined energy is strong at 2481. The water temperature is a very pleasant 79.5°F – pretty much spot on average for this time of year. The wind is a cross-off from the SSE, which is good for keeping the surface clean. But the overall forecast is marginal, and the size is getting up there, so this is for the advanced crew only. This is a reef break that’s inconsistent, and when it’s good, it’s a gem. But on Sunday, the quality is questionable.

After that, it’s a tough slog. From Monday, July 20th, right through to the end of the month, it’s mostly poor. The swell stays big, often over 8 ft, and the wind is either onshore, cross-on, or just creating a nasty chop. There’s a bit of a change on the morning of Wednesday, July 30th, with an 8 ft SW groundswell (15 seconds) and a cross-shore ESE wind. The energy is solid at 2992, and the wind is just cross-shore, so it might be lumpy, but it’s an option for the experienced. It’s still marginal.

The real standout, and the one to circle on the calendar, is Sunday, August 2nd, in the afternoon. The forecast is a bit further out, so take it with a grain of salt, but it looks promising. The swell drops to 3 ft from the SSW, but the period is a long 16 seconds. The magic is the wind: a light 3 mph from the south, which is a clean cross-off. The energy is moderate at 660, but with those conditions, the wave quality could be really good for a tidy, high-performance session. Right now, that’s the best bet on the horizon.

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.
