The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
We’ve only got one break to work with for the full 16 days: Temples. It’s a reef and point, fairly consistent, so we’ve got plenty to talk about, but don’t expect much in the first couple of days.
Wednesday the 9th starts off with some rain showers and a cross-off wind from the SE at 12 mph. Swell is running 8 to 8 ft from the SSW, with a long period. The water temp is a warm 79°, right around average for this time of year. The wave energy is strong (combined energy around 3182), but the forecast is calling the surf quality marginal. It’s not terrible, but it’s not clean.
By Friday the 11th, things turn around. Swell drops to 6 ft from the SW, and the wind goes offshore from the SE at 12 mph. That’s a clean setup. Energy is still moderate to strong (1865-1918). This is a good, solid day for an advanced surfer.
Saturday the 12th stays clean with offshore winds and smaller swell, 5 to 5 ft from the SW. Wave energy drops off (1280-1727). It’s a nice manageable size, and crowds are only *sometimes* an issue here.
The real standout is Sunday the 13th. Swell builds to 6 ft in the morning, then 7 ft in the afternoon from the SW. That morning period of 18 seconds is a true groundswell—perfect for a reef and point. Winds stay offshore, SE at 12 mph, and the energy jumps back up to strong (2512-2561). Clean, powerful, well-shaped surf. That’s the one to chase.
The following week is steady, with offshore winds and solid swell around 6 to 6 ft from the SW. Long periods keep the quality high. It’s consistent and clean, good for advanced surfers. Crowds are possible but not guaranteed.
Then we hit the final week. September 22nd brings a very long-period groundswell (20 seconds) from the SSW at 5 ft in the morning. Energy is strong (2629). But the real beast shows up on the 23rd and 24th. Swell hits 8 ft from the SSW, and on Thursday the 24th it’s 10 ft. Combined energy is huge, over 5500. With light offshore winds at 9 mph, these are glassy, powerful, expert-only days. That’s heavy-wave territory, so only the experienced should paddle out.
Overall, the first few days are a bit slow, but from the 11th on, it’s a solid run. The big days are the 13th and then the 23rd and 24th—those are the standouts.
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.
