The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for the next couple of weeks. The first good surf shows up on Monday the 14th, so there’s no gap to worry about at the start.

We’re looking at a solid, sustained run of groundswell for Temples, a reef and point set-up that loves a good SW swell. The water’s sitting at 79°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first few days, from Monday the 14th through to the morning of Wednesday the 16th, have consistent 6ft to 6ft SW groundswell, with a very long 15 to 16 second period. The wind is offshore and clean, mostly fresh to moderate. The wave energy is moderate to strong. It’s clean and lined up, but these are advanced waves at that size and period – not for the groms. The conditions are rated for experienced surfers. The only caveat is that this long-period groundswell can make beach breaks a bit too straight, but at a reef and point like Temples, it should be a thing of beauty.

By Wednesday afternoon the 16th, the wind goes a bit cross-offshore, and while the swell is still there, it gets a touch less clean. Thursday the 17th morning brings it back with a nice 6ft SSW groundswell and clean offshore wind – that’s a standout morning for the crew who can handle it.

The weekend of the 19th and 20th sees the swell drop a bit to 4ft-6ft, but the quality holds. Saturday morning the 19th has light offshore wind and clean lines on a 4ft SSW swell – that’s a real gem for the more advanced surfer who wants it a bit more manageable. Sunday the 20th morning pumps back up with a 6ft SW groundswell at 16 seconds and gentle offshore wind. That morning is the pick of the first week. The energy is strong. But be aware, crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, so get out early.

The second week starts strong. Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd hold good 5ft to 6ft SW swell with clean offshore winds, though the energy drops a little mid-week. Wednesday the 23rd brings a bigger pulse, with a 7ft SSW groundswell. That’s getting into expert territory, especially with moderate offshore wind in the morning.

Now, the real standout is the very end of the forecast. Sunday the 27th of September and Monday the 28th. Sunday morning kicks off with a 5ft SSW groundswell but with a *massive* 21 second period and a gentle offshore wind. The combined energy is enormous. Sunday afternoon? It goes to 10ft from the SSW, still 20 seconds, and the energy is massive. That’s exceptional, expert-only, groundswell of a lifetime potential. Monday the 28th morning keeps that 10ft size and 17 second period with clean offshore wind. These two days are the absolute highlight – huge, long-period, clean waves for the brave. It’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it, but this looks like the real deal.

After that, Tuesday the 29th settles back to a still excellent 7ft SSW swell, clean in the morning. A very solid finish.

So, the pick of the entire run is Sunday the 20th morning for the first week, and the Sunday 27th / Monday 28th for the big, expert-level finale. Get ready.

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.
