The Lowdown

Howdy folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it.

We’ve got a solid run of surf on the way at Temples. This is a reef and point setup that gets exposed to the swell, and it’s going to be working for a good long stretch. The water temp is sitting at 79°, right around normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

We kick things off on Monday, September 7th. Swell is coming in at 7ft from the SSW with a 14-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, and it’s packing moderate wave energy (2003). The wind is blowing offshore from the SE at 12 mph, keeping the waves clean. This is a solid start, but given the size, this one’s for the experienced crew. The afternoon holds similar quality, 7ft swell, still clean.

Tuesday the 8th sees the swell dip just a touch, 7ft in the morning, but the wind swings cross-offshore, and while the waves are clean, the quality takes a slight step back. The afternoon pushes the period out to 18 seconds (very long), with 6ft swell. That’s a lot of energy in the water (3342), but it might be a little too straight for this break if you’re a beach break guy; it’s a reef and point, so it should handle it well.

Wednesday the 9th, we’ve got 8ft in the morning and 8ft in the afternoon, still that long-period SSW swell. The wind stays cross-offshore. The wave energy is strong (3182), but it’s a little messy and the tide could be an issue. Still surfable, but not the peak.

Thursday and Friday settle into a nice rhythm – 7 to 7ft, clean, with offshore winds returning by Friday morning and lasting through the weekend. The swells have solid energy (around 2000). By Saturday the 12th, the swell drops to 5ft in the morning and 5ft in the afternoon, but with clean offshore wind and still a 14-second period, this is welcoming for a wider range of surfers. Crowds are possible here sometimes, but the quality is good.

Now, let me tell you about the true standout. On Monday, September 22nd – that’s 15 days out, so far off but man it looks tasty – we’ve got a massive pulse of swell. The morning is looking at 10ft from the SSW with a 20-second period. That is a very long period groundswell, and the combined energy is massive (9187). The wind is light offshore from the SE at just 6 mph, so it’s going to be clean and lined up. This is expert-level swell, no doubt – over 8ft is only for those with serious experience. The afternoon drops a bit to 12ft, but the period is still 19 seconds and energy is off the charts (9875). The wind goes cross-off, so it won’t be as clean, but the power will be insane. For a point and reef, that long-period swell is going to produce some epic, grinding walls.

There’s no real gap of dead days here. We have consistent swell from day one right through. The early part of the run (Monday the 7th through the following week) is very good, but that September 22nd window is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s promising but far out, so keep an eye on it.

So, overall, Temples is firing. The best session looks like Tuesday, September 22nd, in the morning. Get on it if you can handle the heavy stuff.

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.
