The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and here’s the word on the water for Temae over the next couple of weeks.
Not a lot happening straight away. The first real chance to get wet doesn't come until Wednesday the 29th. Wednesday afternoon, we’ve got a clean 5ft SW swell running with a light cross-off breeze. The water’s sitting at 79°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year. Sets are coming in with decent energy (818) and a 12-second period – that’s a proper groundswell, with some shape to it. It’s inconsistent though, so you’ll be sitting and waiting, but when they come, they’ll be worth it. Temae is a reef, so keep your wits about you.
Thursday and Friday turn messy. Stronger winds swing onshore and the swell gets a bit lumpy. The forecast drops right off, so you’re better off doing something else. We’ve got a dry spell that runs basically from Thursday morning through the weekend and into the start of the next week. It ain’t totally flat, but conditions are poor to marginal at best – mostly cross-onshore and choppy, or onshore trash.
Now, let me tell you about the real standout. If you can wait, mark Thursday the 6th of August. Early that morning we’re looking at a solid 8ft SW groundswell with a long 16-second period, and… glass. Glassy conditions. That’s a big combo for experienced surfers – this is not a beginner wave. The energy is pumping hard at 3593, full of power. The wind swings light cross-off in the afternoon, keeping it clean. That morning session is the absolute pick of the whole run. Friday the 7th is still very good, with 7ft and glass again, but that Thursday is the one.
After that, it gets blown out again on the 8th and 9th with strong winds, and the swell drops off quickly into the second week. We do get another chance on Wednesday the 12th of August. It’s a smaller 6ft SW swell, but with light glass in the morning and a cross-off in the afternoon, it’ll be clean. Good energy (1100+), and the smaller size makes it more user-friendly. Not as powerful as that early August swell, but a solid option for a fun session.
The final few days into the 13th see a bit of a bump again, but winds get more cross and the conditions are marginal. It’s worth keeping an eye on, but the real gold is that Thursday the 6th.
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.
