The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same outlook in feet and miles per hour.
The first real action is Saturday, July 25th. Morning brings a clean 5ft SSW swell, 14-second period, and a light offshore wind from the south-southwest. That’s a reef point with glassy conditions. The energy is building, and the water is about 79°, which is normal for the season. In the afternoon, it picks up to 6ft from the SW, still 14 seconds, but the wind turns cross-offshore. The combined energy is strong. This is the best of the first week.
Sunday the 26th has 7ft of SSW swell, but the wind is a stiff 12 mph cross-offshore. The energy is high, but it’s a bit more challenging. For experienced surfers, it’s worth a go.
Monday the 27th, the wind goes onshore and the quality tanks. Tuesday through Thursday have some cleaner moments, but the real gem is Wednesday afternoon, July 29th. The wind goes glassy, the swell is 6ft from the SW at 12 seconds, and the energy is still strong. That’s a session you’d drive for.
After that, the second week gets ugly. From August 1st, the wind is too strong, and the swell period drops to 8 seconds. The conditions are lumpy and cross-shore. There’s a bit of a window on August 3rd and 4th, but the wind kills it. The last noteworthy day is August 8th, with a 6ft SSW swell and a very long 17-second period, but the wind is onshore. That long period means big energy (2181, strong), but it’ll be a mess. For a reef like Temae, that’s kite-surfing weather.
The standout is Saturday, July 25th, with the morning glass and the afternoon cross-off. The Wednesday afternoon glass on the 29th is also a solid pick. Everything else is a long shot.
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.
