The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here with the long-range look for the region. Let’s be straight – the next week and a half is going to be a write-off for quality waves at Temae. We've got persistent cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions messing up what could be a decent run of south swell.
The swell energy coming in is moderate to strong, with combined energy values between 397 and 3367, but the wind just isn’t playing ball. We’re looking at a solid nine days of poor surf conditions from Tuesday the 1st right through to the end of Thursday the 10th. The winds will be howling from the east and northeast, sometimes hitting a strong breeze of 25 mph, making it messy and lumpy. It's not going to be fun out there.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday the 12th of September. The wind finally eases and swings to a light westerly, then southerly, giving us clean, cross-off conditions. The swell is small at 3.6 ft from the southwest, but with that clean face, it’ll be worth a paddle. The combined energy is moderate (547-558), so there’s some push behind it. After days of punishment, this feels like a reward.
The following days (Sunday the 13th through Monday the 14th) are marginal with moderate northerly winds that keep it clean, but the swell stays manageable at around 2.6 ft to 4.6 ft.
For my call, the standout is Saturday the 12th. That’s your best shot at a fun session. The water temp is about average for the time of year, no major anomaly.
If you’re waiting for a bigger punch, keep an eye on Tuesday the 15th. We’ve got a long-period groundswell (21 seconds) from the southwest. The overall height is small at 2.3 ft, but that long period means it’s packing a punch with moderate combined energy of 1334. These long period south swells can be tricky at a fairly exposed reef like Temae – they can wall up and run a bit straight – but with light winds forecast, it could offer some very clean, lined-up waves for the experienced crew. It’s a promising but less certain call that far out.
Stay patient, and see you on the 12th.

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.
