The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
First up, we’re looking at a pretty rough start. The early part of the week is a write-off – strong onshore winds and big, lumpy swell are making a mess of things. You’re not gonna want to paddle out on Wednesday the 22nd or Thursday the 23rd. The wind is howling at 22 to 25 mph from the east and northeast, blowing right onto the break, and the sea is just a jumbled up mess. We’ll have to wait until the weekend for things to turn around.
By Friday the 24th, the wind backs off a bit, but the swell is still a bit marginal and the tide might be a factor. It’s not a total loss, but nothing to get excited about. The real window opens on Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th. This is the standout period. Temae (Temae) is set to clean right up. On Saturday morning, we’ve got light offshore winds from the SSW with a clean 3 ft swell from the SW – small but perfect for a longboard or a fun shape. The afternoon sees the swell bump up to 6 ft from the same direction, still clean. The water temp is 79°F, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Sunday the 26th is the absolute best of the bunch. Sunday morning, the wind goes glassy, dead calm, and the swell is a solid 7 ft from the SW. That’s serious power for experienced surfers, and it’s gonna be a proper session. The combined energy is a hefty 1538 (moderate wave energy), and with that 13-second period, you’ll feel the push. Just be aware, Temae is a reef break and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting for the sets, but when they come, they’ll be worth it. The afternoon stays glassy with a 7 ft SSW swell.
After that, the wind turns onshore from Monday the 27th, and the quality drops right off. The following week is a bit of a mixed bag. There are some pulses of swell, but the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making for choppy, poor conditions. By the 5th and 6th of August, the swells are small and the wind is still strong, so it’s a no-go.
So, bottom line: your best bet is to aim for Saturday the 25th afternoon and Sunday the 26th. That’s the clean, glassy, powerful stuff. The rest of the 16-day window is mostly a bust with strong winds and poor conditions. Don’t hold your breath for the second week – it’s looking like a long, flat spell with only sloppy windswell.
Keep your eyes on the horizon, and if you’re out there on Sunday, grab a wave for me.
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.
