The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it.
We got a solid run of swell on the cards for Temples, and it’s looking like a great stretch for those who know what they’re doing. This is an advanced reef and point set-up, and the energy coming through is going to be serious.
The water’s sitting at 79°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, nothing weird there.
The first real pulse arrives on Friday morning, the 7th of August. We’re looking at an 8ft SSW swell with a 17-second period, and the ESE offshore wind is going to have it glassy and clean. The wave energy is moderate to strong at 3333. This is proper, powerful stuff, so leave the soft tops at home. Winds stay offshore through the afternoon, so the quality holds.
Saturday the 8th sees similar size, still 8ft but the period drops a touch to 16 seconds. Morning looks clean with that ESE offshore, but by the afternoon the wind goes cross-off and the quality drops. It’s still surfable, but not as perfect. Get your fix early.
Sunday the 9th and the swell eases a little to 7ft, but the 16-second period keeps it meaty. Offshore winds both morning and afternoon keep Temples looking tidy. A step down in size but still a full-on session.
Monday the 10th is where things get interesting. The morning has a 6ft SSW swell but a very long 19-second period. The energy jumps to 4023, and with a gentle offshore, it’s going to be smooth, lined-up and powerful. This one’s a standout for the first week. However, by the afternoon it jumps up to 10ft with an 18-second period, and while that’s a lot of juice, the cross-off wind and that size might make it a bit of a handful. Still, a solid day.
Tuesday the 11th we’re seeing 10ft in the morning and 8ft in the afternoon. The morning has a cross-off wind which isn’t ideal, but the afternoon cleans right back up with a full offshore and that strong 16-second period. Another good window for the experienced crew.
Wednesday the 12th, the swell backs off slightly, 8ft in the morning, 7ft in the afternoon, with offshore winds all day. Solid but not as critical.
Now, for the real standout. Thursday the 13th of August. The swell jumps to 12ft with a 17-second period and the energy kicks up to 6444 in the morning. Winds are cross-off, but at this size, that’s not going to matter much. This is a day for experts only, this is big, powerful ocean. The afternoon stays at 10ft with similar energy. If you’re confident in this kind of surf, this is your day.
The weekend of the 15th and 16th sees the size settle back into the 5ft to 8ft range with offshore winds and some long-period energy in the mix, like 18 seconds on Saturday afternoon. Good, fun, quality waves without the intimidating size.
Looking further out to the 20th of August, there’s another big pulse forecast. The morning shows 12ft SSW swell with an 18-second period and a light offshore wind. Energy is a massive 6663. Afternoon stays at 12ft with a similar period. This looks like another day for the experts, but with a long period swell like this, a reef and point break like Temples will handle it much better than a beach break.
So, in short, the top pick is Thursday the 13th for the sheer power, but if you want it big and clean, the 20th is your target. The rest of the time, there’s a steady supply of good waves. Just remember, this is not a beginner spot.

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.
