The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here. Only one spot on the radar for this whole stretch, and that’s Temples. It’s a reef and point break, fully open to the ocean. The water’s sitting at 79°, which is just your standard water temp for this time of year, nothing strange going on.
We get rolling on Saturday, August 29th. Saturday morning is the real deal: a clean 6ft swell out of the SSW, with a deep 15-second period behind it. The wave energy is pumping at 1551 – that’s a proper amount of juice. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so the surface is looking glassy. This is an advanced wave, no doubt, but for those who can handle it, the shape on that reef will be incredible. The standout for the whole run is this Saturday morning – it’s just so clean and powerful.
Sunday the 30th drops off a little, with 5ft to 4ft SSW swell and a moderate offshore breeze keeping it clean. It’s still very good, just not as punchy. Monday the 31st sees the size bounce back to 4ft in the morning and 6ft in the afternoon, but the period jumps to a very long 18 seconds. That’s a real groundswell, and with the point and reef, the lines will be long and well-formed.
Then we hit Tuesday, September 1st. This is the big dog. The morning is firing 7ft of SSW swell at 18 seconds, and the energy is a massive 2494 – that is serious, heavy water. The wind is solidly offshore. That size and period puts this firmly in expert-only territory. If you’ve got the skills, this is the single best session on the board.
The first week stays strong, with swell holding between 5ft and 6ft, and the wind staying clean and offshore for the morning sessions. The second week is a little more of a look-ahead. Come Wednesday, September 9th, another big 18-second groundswell shows up with 2005 of energy. The wind that morning is a light offshore, so it’ll be clean. That’s a promising one for the long-range, but just keep in mind it’s a week and a bit out.
Into the 13th of September, the swell settles into a 5ft to 6ft range, with offshore and side-shore winds mixing in. It’s not as crisp as the first week, but there will be waves.
Expect to see a few others in the water when it’s pumping – Temples can get some company. The big one to circle is Tuesday, September 1st morning, with Saturday, August 29th morning as the next best bet.
Rusty.

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.
