The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what’s ahead for the next couple of weeks.
First thing’s first: you’re gonna be staring at a flat, choppy mess for the first few days. That east-northeast wind is blowing moderate and cross-onshore, and there’s no energy to speak of. The water’s pretty much average temp for this time of year, nothing weird. It’s not until Sunday, September 13th that things start breathing a little, with a light breeze and some 3.6ft swell starting to form up. The real window opens on Monday the 14th.
That morning, the wind shuts right off – we’re talking glass – and you get a clean, solid 5.2ft swell out of the southwest. The combined energy of all swells directed here is chunky (1484). It stays good into the afternoon, too. This is a reef break that can get a bit tricky, so it’s best for the experienced crowd. Tuesday the 15th morning is the real standout: the swell pushes to 6.9ft from the southwest with a 16-second period, and the wind is a light south cross-offshore. The energy is humming at (2456). That’s proper groundswell, clean, and punchy. This one’s for the advanced crew.
From Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday, the wind comes back up – a fresh breeze – and though the swell stays strong around 6.9–7.5ft, it gets bumpy. The energy is still massive (2555 on Wednesday afternoon). Thursday the 17th sees the biggest numbers hitting 8.2ft, but the period drops to 14 seconds and the wind is fresh, making it a choppy mess. After that, the swell slowly fades, but from Friday the 18th onward, the wind goes onshore and stays there, killing any quality.
After that, there’s a long stretch into the second week with onshore winds and lumpy, cross-onshore chop. We get a couple of pulses – like a 5.6ft push on Monday the 21st – but the wind is right in your face. The energy drops back into the hundreds. So, if you’re looking for the best, it’s that Monday the 14th through Tuesday the 15th morning. After that, it’s a hard pass.
This spot doesn’t break all that often, so a run like this isn’t a huge surprise. But hey, forecasts change, so keep an eye on it.

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.
