The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into this one for Temples. It’s a reef and point break that’s exposed to the southwest swell, and it breaks fairly consistently, but the first few days are mostly a waste of time. The water is sitting at about 80°F right now, which is pretty average for the time of year, so nothing to write home about.
The pattern for the first week or so is all offshore wind, but the surf is just not making the cut. There’s a big stretch of marginal days from Wednesday July 22nd through to Sunday July 26th. The swell is there, around 4 ft from the SSW on the 22nd morning, but the period is short and the combined energy is moderate at 733. It’s clean, but it’s not worth paddling out.
Thursday the 23rd has a little more energy in the morning, 1042 combined, but still only 4 ft with a 14-second period. Better shaped but still not great. Friday the 24th is a tease – a 17-second groundswell but only 3 ft in the morning. That’s a long wait for a tiny wave. The weekend gets bumpier with a short 9-second SE swell and winds hitting 22 mph from the ESE on Sunday the 26th. The waves are 6 ft to 7 ft, but with that short period and strong wind, it’s more of a mess than a session. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Now, things turn around from Wednesday July 29th. The wind drops to a moderate 16 mph offshore, and the swell holds at 4 ft from the SSW with a 14-second period. The afternoon of the 29th has a combined energy of 953 and the call is "very good surf conditions." That’s a clean, lined-up session. Temples can have a few people out sometimes, but it won’t be packed.
The real standout is Thursday July 30th. The morning is 4 ft at 15 seconds with a combined energy of 1327, and the afternoon jumps to a 3 ft, 19-second groundswell with a huge combined energy of 1602. That’s proper, long-period, clean energy. The wind is a moderate offshore from the SE, and it’s "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." This is the day. The long period will wrap perfectly around the point, and with offshore wind, the waves will be glassy. It’s a Thursday, so crowds should be low.
After that, the run keeps going. Saturday August 1st has a 5 ft swell in the afternoon, and Sunday August 2nd hits 6 ft in the morning with offshore wind and a combined energy of 1811 – that’s strong wave energy. That Sunday morning is for experienced surfers, as it’s solid overhead and the period is 16 seconds. The afternoon on the 2nd goes cross-off, so the morning is the call.
Looking further ahead, Tuesday August 4th is for experts only. 8 ft in the morning and 10 ft in the afternoon, both with an 18-second period and combined energy over 4700 – that’s very strong wave energy. The wind is light and clean. This is the biggest, most powerful swell of the bunch. If you’re not comfortable with big, powerful, long-period waves on a reef, stay on the beach. For the crew who are, it’s a proper day.
The final days into August 6th ease off, with the 6th morning having a 5 ft, 16-second groundswell with a gentle 9 mph offshore breeze – clean, manageable, and still fun.
Best bets: Thursday July 30th for the combination of quality, clean conditions, and manageable size, and Sunday August 2nd for a bigger, more powerful session. The 4th of August is the big one, but only for the hardcore.
That’s the picture for Temples. Keep an eye on the long-range – it’s looking good but not certain.

Information about the Temples Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Temples provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Temples can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Temples 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 (Temples) 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 Temples 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.
Temples is 15 km (9 miles) from the city of Kuta. If you plan a holiday in The Bukit - Bali, look for hotels and other accommodation in Kuta. Kuta has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
