The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got a look at the surf ahead for Temples. This is a reef and point set-up, and we’ve got a run of solid, consistent SSW groundswell that’s gonna keep things interesting pretty much right through the 16-day window.
We’re kicking off Friday the 28th with a bit of size and power. You’re looking at a solid 8 ft of swell out of the SSW, with a long 16-second period and a massive combined energy reading of 3636. The wind is a moderate offshore breeze from the ESE, keeping things clean. This is proper advanced territory though - over 8 ft and only for experienced surfers. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is about average for this time of year. The morning is the pick, with the afternoon going cross-off.
Saturday the 29th is where it really cleans up. The morning brings glassy conditions, with the wind dropping to just 3 mph from the SSE. You’ll get a still-juicy 6 ft of SSW swell, long 15-second period, and a combined energy of 1540. This is a standout window - the lack of wind and clean lines will make Temples a dream, and it’s still got enough punch for a good session, though still on the bigger side for intermediates. The afternoon sees the offshore breeze return with 4 ft waves.
Sunday the 30th stays in the 4 ft to 5 ft range with clean offshore ESE winds, though the energy drops a bit to the 800s. Still a very good option.
Monday the 31st through to Wednesday the 2nd of September sees a fresh pulse of long-period SSW groundswell, with 18-second periods showing up. Monday morning has 4 ft swell but with that long period, it’s packing a punch with a combined energy of 1367, and you’ve got a steady 12-16 mph offshore breeze. This setup - long period swell at a point break - is the kind of thing that makes the waves stand up beautifully. Tuesday the 1st pushes up to 7 ft in the morning, and Wednesday holds around 6 ft. All excellent for experienced surfers, all clean.
After that, the swell gradually winds down through Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th of September, dropping to 4 ft by Friday afternoon, with the energy falling into the 600s. Still surfable, but less exciting.
We get a bit of a lull over the weekend, with some rain showers on Saturday the 5th and cross-off winds, but Sunday the 6th of September swings back in our favour. ESE offshore winds return, and we see a 6 ft SSW swell with a 15-second period and a combined energy of 1208. It’s a solid pick to finish the first week.
Then, looking ahead to the second week, we have another standout session to really keep an eye on. Thursday the 10th looks fantastic, with very light 3 mph winds from the SSE, turning it glassy. You’ll have 6 ft of solid SSW swell with a 16-second period and a combined energy of 1484. That’s about as clean as it gets at Temples. It’s a promising call for a Thursday morning surf.
But the real cherry on top comes Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th of September. We’re expecting a proper swell. Friday afternoon pushes 8 ft, and Saturday morning hits 8 ft again, both from the SSW with 16-second periods and combined energy readings over 3000. The wind is a solid offshore breeze at 12-16 mph. This is for the experts only - anything over 8 ft is serious business - but the quality and power are through the roof. Saturday the 12th of September, with a 8 ft swell and 3477 combined energy, is the absolute best on offer in this entire outlook, but it’s a long-range call so keep an eye on it.
Temples is fairly consistent throughout, so there’s no long gaps to worry about.

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.
