The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here breakin' down the Temae surf scene.
First thing to note is the water temp is sittin' right around 79°, which is dead average for this time of year – nothin' strange going on there.
Our best bet is lookin' at the afternoon of Saturday the 25th. We got a solid 6ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period. The cross-off wind from the SSW will keep things clean. The combined energy is strong (1347), so you’re gonna feel the push. This is strictly for advanced crew – inconsistent reef break, but when it’s on, it’s on.
Sunday the 26th is the real headliner though. A bigger 8ft SSW swell rolls in for the morning, with energy spikin’ at 1841. Clean conditions and a gentle breeze make this a prime day for experienced locals who know this wave.
Now brace yourselves – from Monday the 27th all the way to Thursday the 7th of August, it’s a total write-off. That’s an 11-day stretch of onshore junk from the north and east. Don’t bother paddlin’ out. There's a tiny exception on Wednesday the 29th afternoon with a glassy 6ft SW swell, but it’s a one-off blip in a long, bad run.
Everything turns around on Friday the 7th of August afternoon. We’re lookin’ at a clean 5ft SSW groundswell with a 15-second period, cross-off winds, and strong energy (1360). It’s far out so don’t call in sick yet, but it’s the first real hope in nearly two weeks.
Short story: Surf this Saturday and Sunday, then hang your wettie up until early August.
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.
