The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the menu for Temae.
We’ve got some rough seas to get through at the start. The first few days are a total write-off thanks to onshore winds and choppy junk. The good stuff starts to build towards the end of the first week, so don’t write it off just yet.
The first real window of opportunity hits on Sunday afternoon, August 2nd. The wind drops to glassy, and you’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the SSW with a period of 14 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and it’ll be a fun way to get the feet wet. The water is a warm 80°, which is about average for this time of year.
The one to get excited about, the absolute standout, is Thursday morning, August 6th. Temae is a reef break that’s inconsistent, but when it’s on, it’s magic. We’re looking at a 6ft swell from the SSW, with a very long period of 17 seconds. That’s a massive amount of energy (2031) pushing through. With a light S cross-off breeze, it’s going to be glassy and lined up. This is for the experienced crew only – that size and long period will make it a serious wave. The long period can make it a bit straight on a beach break, but on a reef, it’s a dream. Expect a few other people in the water, so get there early.
The good energy keeps rolling into the next week. Monday morning, August 10th, is another cracker with 6ft SSW swell (1847 energy) and a clean cross-off wind. Again, that’s expert territory. The wind gets a bit rowdy later, so the morning is the time to be out.
After that, the swell hangs around but the wind gets messy again. There’s some size for the brave on Friday, August 14th and Saturday, August 15th, with 8ft to 8ft SSW swell, but the wind is stronger and cross, so it won’t be as clean. Those are strictly for the pros.
For the beginners, the surf is mostly too big or too messy after the first week. Anything over 5ft is a handful, and over 8ft is only for the experts.
So, to sum it up: Sunday the 2nd is a nice glassy warm-up, but the real one to aim for is Thursday morning, August 6th. That’s the best of the run. The stuff around the 10th is promising too, but keep an eye on that wind.
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.
