The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s headed our way.

Alright, grab a coffee ‘cause this one’s a long haul. We’ve got a slow start with a lot of so-so conditions, but the second week looks like it could really fire. The first solid surf shows up on the 21st of July, but honestly, it’s pretty average. The energy is there (1244), but it’s got a lot of wind on it. For the first week, from the 21st through the 30th of July, it’s a real grind. The swell is coming from the SSW, but the wind is a persistent fresh breeze from the ESE or SE, 15 to 19 mph. It’s offshore, so the waves will be clean, but that wind is strong. It’s hard to get excited about 3 ft to 6 ft of swell, even with a decent 14 second period, when you’re fighting that wind. The water temperature is about 80°F, which is bang on average for the time of year, so no need for a wetsuit.

The real story is what happens after the 30th of July. The wind drops, and the swell starts to get serious. The standout period is the 31st of July through the 4th of August.

Let’s talk about Temples (Victoria). This is a reef and point, exposed to the SW. The optimum swell direction is SW, and that’s exactly what we’re getting. On the morning of the 31st of July, the wind goes glassy with a SSW wind at 0 mph. That’s a dream. The swell is 3 ft from the SSW, but with an 18 second period. That’s a very long period groundswell. It’s not huge, but that energy (1241) is going to wrap in nicely. For a point break, that sort of period is magic. It’ll be clean, lined up, and a real treat for the experienced surfer.

Then the 1st of August keeps the party going. On the Saturday morning, it’s 4 ft from the SW at 16 seconds, with a light S wind at 3 mph. The energy jumps to 1579. By Saturday afternoon, it’s up to 6 ft from the SW at 17 seconds. That’s a powerful, clean swell. The winds stay light, and it’s clean. This is the best session on offer.

After that, it holds. The 2nd of August is 6 ft from the SW, 16 seconds, with light winds from the SE. The 3rd of August is a bit smaller at 4 ft, but still with that long period and clean conditions.

Now, the 4th of August. The Tuesday morning is a beast. We’re looking at 10 ft from the SSW, with a 19 second period. The combined energy is 6091 – that’s very strong. The wind is a gentle offshore from the SE. This is expert territory. Over 8 ft, it’s only for those with serious skills. The period is so long that at a beach break, it might break too straight, but at a point like Temples, it’s going to be a freight train. The afternoon is still 10 ft, but the wind shifts to cross-off, so it’s still clean, but the tide could be a factor. It’s a massive, powerful swell. This is one of those days you’ll be telling stories about.

The 5th of August is still big, with 7 ft from the SSW and a 17 second period, but the wind is picking up a bit, and the energy is dropping. Still a solid day, but the peak is definitely the 1st and 4th of August.

The first week is a write-off for a good time, but the wait is worth it. Don’t even bother looking at the surf until the 30th of July. The 31st of July through the 4th of August is the window. The 1st of August morning is the pick of the week for a clean, powerful, long-period swell with light winds. The 4th of August morning is for the big dogs only.

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.
