The Lowdown
Alright mate, let’s talk Temples. It’s a reef and point setup that faces the swell from the SW, so it’s well placed. This is for the experienced crew – it breaks fairly consistently, but you might have to share it sometimes.
Water temp is about 79°, just a touch under the average for this time of year – nothing crazy.
The surf starts up Sunday, September 13th, with a solid 7ft SW swell, long period of 17 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and the combined energy is pumping at 2561 – strong stuff. Wind is offshore from the ESE at 25 km/h, keeping it clean. This is a proper session for the advanced crew. The long period means better shaped waves and more power, and at a reef and point, it’ll hold up nicely.
Monday the 14th drops a bit to 6ft SW, 16-second period, still offshore. Energy at 1494. Good, but not as crisp as Sunday.
Tuesday the 15th morning brings 6ft SW, 15-second period, clean offshore wind. Energy 1436. Solid.
Wednesday the 16th morning has 6ft from the SSW, 15-second period, offshore. Energy 1181. Decent.
Thursday the 17th morning picks up to 6ft SSW, 14-second period, offshore. Energy 1688. Nice pulse.
Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th see the swell back off to around 5ft to 4ft, but the wind stays favourable. Energy around 900-950. Still fun.
Sunday the 20th jumps back up: 6ft SW, 16-second period, offshore, energy 1875. Clean and solid.
Monday the 21st holds: 6ft SW, 14-second period, offshore, energy 1426.
Tuesday the 22nd morning is 4ft SSW, 13-second period, offshore, energy 1056. Afternoon gets interesting: 5ft but with an 18-second period, energy jumps to 1882, wind goes cross-off but still clean.
Now, the real highlight starts Wednesday the 23rd: 7ft SSW, 16-second period, offshore, energy 2155. Strong.
Thursday the 24th is 6ft SSW, 14-second period, offshore, and the afternoon energy hits 2231 – very strong.
Friday the 25th has 4ft in the morning with a 17-second period and energy 1852, then 5ft in the afternoon with 16-second period, energy 1722. All offshore. Consistent.
Saturday the 26th: 6ft and 7ft SSW swells, 15 and 14-second periods, offshore. Energy 1625 and 1703.
And then the big finish. Sunday the 27th morning: 6ft SSW, 22-second period – very long period. Energy 4118 – very strong. The afternoon is the standout: 8ft SSW, 20-second period, offshore, and energy hits 6760. That’s exceptional, expert-only territory. At over 8ft, this is for the brave. The long period will make it powerful and lined up.
Monday the 28th keeps it going: 10ft SSW, 18-second period in the morning, energy 5308, and 10ft again in the afternoon with 17-second period, energy 4290. Offshore all day. Big, powerful, expert-only.
The best on offer? Sunday the 27th afternoon – that 8ft, 20-second period, offshore, and 6760 energy is a true standout. And Monday the 28th morning with 10ft and 5308 energy is right up there. The whole run from the 20th to the 28th is excellent, but those last two days are the ones to aim for.
It’s a two-week look, so the later days are a bit more of a gamble, but the signs are real good.

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.
