Table - best surf conditions forecast for Temae over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here. The outlook’s got some early promise, then it trails off. Water temp is about 80°F, which is normal for the season.
First real surf hits Sunday, July 12th at Temae (reef). Clean 6ft swell from the southwest, 11-second period, with a moderate offshore breeze from the SW at 12 mph. The wave energy is pumping at 1446, so there’s plenty of push. This is for experienced surfers—it’s an inconsistent break, so you’ll be waiting for sets. The afternoon holds the same vibe, with the swell up to 6ft and still offshore. That Sunday is your best early bet.
Monday, July 13th, the breeze drops to 9 mph, still offshore, with a 6ft SW swell and a 13-second period. That’s a groundswell with longer lulls, giving better shape. Energy is nearly 2000. It’s a standout if you can handle the reef and the inconsistency.
From Monday afternoon through the rest of the week, the wind goes cross-offshore or cross-shore. Swell stays between 5ft and 8ft, but the quality drops. The energy is high, but the wind messes with the surface. Thursday July 16th hits 2802 energy, but it’s a 19 mph cross-offshore breeze, making it lumpy.
There’s a quiet patch from the 18th to the 20th, with weaker energy and choppy cross-shore winds. Then, a gem on Friday, July 24th: glassy conditions, 5ft swell from the SSW, 14-second period, and energy at 879. It’s not the biggest, but it’ll be clean. That’s a welcome break.
The 25th and 26th see energy spike to 4765, with swell hitting 12ft, but the wind turns cross-onshore. That’s big and messy, only for experts. From the 26th onward, it’s onshore wind and chop, so forget it.
Your best windows are Sunday 12th to Monday 13th, and that glassy Friday 24th. The rest is a bit of a gamble.
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.
