Temae Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Temae has in store for the next couple of weeks.

The long and short of it is the first week is gonna be a battle with the wind, but if you’re patient, there’s a real sweet spot around the 25th.

We start with a solid slug of SSW groundswell pumping in on Tuesday the 21st, with a combined energy of 4170. Swell’s a solid 8ft with a very long 18-second period – that’s real groundswell. Water temp is 79°, right where it should be for this time of year. But from Tuesday through Thursday the 23rd, the wind is screaming cross-on and onshore at 12-25 mph, turning the ocean into a washing machine. Choppy, lumpy, nasty. Not worth it.

Friday the 24th isn’t much better, with a dropping swell to 5ft but still messy winds.

Here’s the turn. Saturday the 25th morning, the wind goes light at 6 mph from the west, going cross-offshore. Swell drops to 4ft but it’s clean, and the energy is still moderate at 822. The afternoon gets even better as the swell bumps back up to 5ft from the SW with a 13-second period, and that light cross-off wind holds. Clean lines!

Saturday the 25th afternoon and Sunday the 26th are your standouts. Sunday morning you get 6ft of clean SW swell, and then Sunday afternoon it’s a no-brainer: 6ft, 12-second period, and the wind goes pure offshore from the southwest at 6 mph. Combined energy of 1022 – moderate, but with that glassy wind, the reef will be working. That’s going to be the session to aim for.

Monday the 27th keeps it clean, but the swell starts to taper a little by the afternoon.

Tuesday the 28th goes flat and glassy, with 4ft but it's weak. Not much push. That trend of small, clean but weak surf continues until Wednesday the 29th afternoon, when we get a late pulse of 6ft SW swell with a 14-second period and light cross-off wind. That’s a good little window for experienced folks, with energy at 1434.

From Thursday the 30th onward, it’s back to onshore junk. The wind picks up again, and the swell stays between 4 and 7ft, but it’s all blown out and choppy. By Sunday August 2nd, it’s tiny and clean again at 2ft, but really only for a log.

So the magic is from Saturday the 25th afternoon through Monday the 27th. If you can only pick one, Sunday the 26th afternoon with that offshore wind and 6ft swell is your absolute best bet for some clean, lined-up reef waves. Just know that Temae can be inconsistent, so when it comes together like this, you get on it.

That’s the read from here. Stay stoked.

Rusty.
