Alright, Rusty here checking in from the beach. Let’s talk about Temae. Got a long stretch of pretty quiet days ahead, but a couple of real chances if you’re patient.
This is a top-tier advanced reef, but it doesn’t break every day. For the next week or so, we’re looking at some average conditions. The swell through the first few days is in the 2 ft range from the SSW, but the wind is all over the place – cross-shore, onshore. The energy is moderate (910). Not the moment to get excited.
From Sunday the 6th through to mid-month, it’s mostly poor to marginal. Monday the 6th has clean 1 ft swell and a fresh offshore wind, but the wave energy is still low (676). Just not enough push to get Temae working the way it should.
Monday morning the 15th of July is the proper standout. A clean 2 ft SSW groundswell, 15 seconds period – real power behind it. The energy jumps to a strong 1779, and it’s coming with a cross-off breeze. That’s a recipe for clean, lined-up reef waves. For experienced surfers, this is a go. A word of warning: with a longer period, the lows in between sets will be there, and that reef can be shallow on the takeoff. This is expert territory.
Later in the week, Thursday the 16th sees a bump to 2 ft, but with it comes a strong breeze, making it messy and for experts only. By the final weekend (20th July), there’s another 2 ft swell from the east, but the period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s windswell territory. Not ideal for cracking over the reef.
The real window is that Monday the 15th. The rest of the run is mostly watching and waiting. If you’ve got the skills and the patience, that’s your morning.
Rusty.

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.
