Temae Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, checkin’ in with a look at the next couple of weeks for our spot. The window’s a bit of a slow burner, but there’s a taste of something special if you’re patient.

The first few days are honestly a bit of a tease. The swell is there, but it’s a little messy, and the wind is not quite on our side. It’s not entirely flat, but it’s gonna take a real dedicated soul to find anything worthwhile. The wave energy is moderate, hangin’ around (720) through the early part, but the conditions are just marginal.

The first real standout comes on the Sunday afternoon, the 13th, at Temae. This is the moment we’ve been waitin’ for. The wind drops to a glassy calm, and we’ve got a solid 5ft of groundswell rollin’ in from the south-west with a long 18-second period. The energy jumps right up to (1483), and it’s gonna be clean. This is a reef break, so that long-period swell is gonna wrap in nicely. It’s an advanced wave and inconsistent, but when it lines up, it’s gold. The water is about 79°, which is normal for this time of year.

Then the next morning, Monday the 14th, is also a cracker. The swell bumps up a touch to 5ft, still from the south-west, but now we’ve got a light offshore wind from the south-west. Clean waves, same excellent energy (1470). This is the best of the run for the average surfer, but it’s still an advanced wave. The afternoon gets a bit windier, but still cross-off, so it’s workable.

The size really starts to build after that, but the wind gets a bit rowdy. By Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th, we’re looking at 6ft to 7ft of south-west swell, with strong to very strong energy (over 2200). That’s getting into expert-only territory, and the wind is a fresh breeze, which will chop it up a bit. It’s more of a show for the big-wave crew.

The second week sees a bit of a cooldown, but there’s a glimmer. Saturday the 19th afternoon offers a glassy 4ft south-south-west swell with a decent 11-second period, good energy (550). A nice, clean, mellow session. Monday the 21st brings back a solid 6ft south-south-west swell with moderate energy (over 1500), but the wind is a strong cross-off, so it’ll be clean but powerful. That’s likely the last of the real size before the window closes.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a grind, with the big payoff being Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th. The second week offers a few clean, smaller windows, but nothing that screams “drop everything.” The best of the best is the glassy Sunday afternoon session.

Rusty.
