The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a solid run of groundswell lining up at Temples, a reef and point set-up that loves a good SW swell. This is a prolonged stretch of strong, consistent energy, so clear your calendar if you can.
The water is sitting at 78°F, which is right about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
It all kicks off on Saturday morning, August 8th. We’re looking at a clean 8ft SSW groundswell with a long 16-second period pushing in. The wind is a steady offshore ESE at 12 mph, keeping things glassy. The combined wave energy is strong at 3113. This is serious, powerful surf for experienced surfers only – anything over 8ft at this spot demands respect.
Sunday the 9th eases a touch to 7ft, still with that long period and clean offshore wind. Monday the 10th drops a fraction to 6ft, but then the period stretches out to a very long 19 seconds and the energy cranks up to 3713. That’s proper groundswell, offering deep, powerful lines, though at a point break like this, that long period will be a blessing.
The standout of the whole run is shaping up to be Tuesday morning, August 11th. The swell is 10ft from the SSW, with a 17-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 5364. The wind is a light offshore SE breeze at just 9 mph. This is as good as it gets for experts – big, clean, and powerful. Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th keep the quality high with similar size and offshore conditions.
The second week still holds promise. Friday the 14th gets a little mixed with cross-offshore winds, but things clean up again for Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th with 7ft to 8ft surf and lighter, cleaner winds. The energy stays strong, with values well over 2000.
Toward the end of the run, around Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th, the wind picks up to 19 mph from the ESE. The swell is still big—10ft—but that fresh breeze will put a bit of texture on it. The real highlight of that late period is Thursday afternoon, August 20th, with a 10ft SSW swell, 17-second period, a massive 5219 in combined energy, and clean offshore winds. That’s another expert-level session.
This is a long, powerful, and consistent run. For the best of the best, lock in Tuesday morning, August 11th, and Thursday afternoon, August 20th. Big, clean, and heavy groundswell at a reef and point. Not for the faint of heart.
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.
