The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks. We've only got one spot firing, and it's a beauty.

Temples (reef and point) is your only real ticket to ride in this forecast period, and it’s looking like one of those classic runs that just keeps on giving. The pattern sets up with a solid, long-period SW groundswell right from the get-go on Sunday the 13th. We're talking 5.9 ft of swell with a period of 18 seconds, and combined wave energy is cranked up to 2512 – that's strong stuff. The wind is a consistent offshore, blowing from the ESE at 16 mph, setting up some seriously clean, lined-up walls. This is proper advanced territory – 5.9 ft with that much grunt isn't for the faint-hearted, but for the experienced crew, it's going to be special.

The first week is a steady parade of quality. While the wave energy ticks down a bit through the middle of the week, dropping to around 1251 by Tuesday afternoon, the swell remains a solid 5.2-5.6 ft and the wind holds offshore. There’s a slight hiccup on Wednesday afternoon when the wind goes cross-off, but it’s still clean. The standout in this first block is undeniably the Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th for that pure, maxed-out groundswell energy with glassy offshore wind.

As we push into the second half of September, things get even more interesting. After a slight dip in size, the swell rebuilds. Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st see another pulse of SW swell, hitting 6.2 ft with 16-second periods and a very respectable 1852 energy. The wind remains offshore, keeping it clean. But hold onto your boardies, because the real monster shows up on Friday, the 25th of September. We’ve got an 8.2 ft SSW swell with an 18-second period, and the combined energy is an enormous 4555. That’s serious, powerful stuff. It's definitely expert-only territory. The wind is offshore at 12 mph in the morning, making for what could be the absolute session of the entire outlook. The Saturday and Sunday that follow are also strong, with 6.9 ft to 7.5 ft swells and lighter winds offering clean conditions.

Temples is a fairly consistent reef and point break, but with this much consistent swell and good wind, it's going to be on. With crowds noted as "sometimes", expect company, but for waves of this quality, it'll be worth sharing the peak. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing too unusual there. The long-period groundswell is perfect for a setup like this – a point and reef is exactly where you want to be when those long lines of energy are marching in.

So the call is clear: get your skis on or be a spectator. This is a classic 16-day run of swell for those who can handle it.

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.
