The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Temples, our only real option on the board, are a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a solid run of consistent, clean offshore winds, but the swell is mostly on the smaller side or a bit too short-period for the setup to really fire. This is a reef and point break, and it’s fairly consistent, so it’s not all doom and gloom. The water temp is sitting at 80°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

We kick off on Monday, July 20, with a decent pulse of groundswell. The morning sees a 5ft SW swell pushing in from the sweet spot, with a period of 14 seconds – that’s proper long-period energy. The combined energy is a hefty 2087, so the ocean’s got some real grunt. The wind is a fresh ESE offshore, keeping things clean. It’s rated for advanced surfers, and with that size, it’s borderline for many, but for the crew who know what they’re doing, it’s got potential. The afternoon bumps up to 7ft from the SSW, with a very long 16-second period and even more energy (2321). That’s a lot of water moving, but the wind stays strong offshore. The reports say “marginal,” so don’t expect perfection, but there’ll be waves.

Tuesday, July 21, settles a touch but stays clean. Morning swell is 6ft from the SSW, 14 seconds, with that same fresh ESE breeze. Good enough for a few. The afternoon drops to 5ft, and the energy is still solid (1193). The rest of the week from Wednesday, July 22, through to Saturday, July 25, sees the swell drop and wobble around 3ft to 4ft. The wind stays offshore, but the period fluctuates, with a notable 17-second period on Friday afternoon (July 24) that might give those long, walled-up lines at the point. The energy is moderate (around 800-1000), so it’s not a nothing burger, but it’s a “leaner” session.

The weekend of July 26-27 takes a downturn. We get a shift to a short-period SE swell, only 8 seconds, with the swell height around 5ft to 6ft. The wind strengthens to 22-25 mph, which is a strong breeze. The reports say “hard to paddle into” and the combined energy is weak (442-788). This is a classic case of a beach-break-like chop that doesn’t suit the point. Honestly, with that much wind and short-period junk, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Avoid it.

Then the good news starts to roll in. From Monday, July 28, the swell direction swings back to the SSW, and the periods start to get long again. The 28th is small (3-3ft, 16 seconds), but the 29th shows a jump to 5-5ft, 14-15 seconds, with energy climbing back over 1000. The wind is still a clean offshore. It’s building.

The real standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is Thursday, July 30, and Friday, July 31. Thursday morning (July 30) has a 5ft SSW swell, 13 seconds, with a moderate 16 mph offshore breeze. The energy is 1658, and the report says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” The afternoon gets even better: 5ft, 16 seconds, and a huge 1751 energy. Friday, July 31, is the absolute pick. The morning is glassy – a gentle 9 mph offshore breeze, 4ft from the SSW, and a very long 18-second period. The energy is 1731. That’s the kind of juice that makes a reef and point like Temples absolutely sing. The afternoon stays clean with a moderate breeze. This is advanced territory, and with that size, it’s manageable for the crew. Crowds are possible at Temples sometimes, but with conditions this good, expect a few more locals out. The swell direction (SW/SSW) is bang on the optimum.

The first week of August (1st through 4th) holds similar size (4-5ft) and solid periods (15-17 seconds), with clean offshore winds. Energy remains moderate to strong (856-1616). The morning of August 4 has a report saying “expect very good surf conditions.” It’s a solid run of clean, consistent surf.

Alright, bottom line: the first week is for the committed, with a few decent windows. The true standout is the end of July – Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st – with the best combination of peaky, long-period swell and glassy offshore winds. Get out there.

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.
