The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.
We’ve got a healthy run of surf on the cards for Temples, kicking off straight away. This is a reef and point setup, so it’s one for the more experienced crew, and it’s a fairly consistent spot. The water temp is sitting at 79°F, which is spot on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first few days from Wednesday the 2nd to Friday the 4th are a bit of a mixed bag. The swell is solid, around 5ft to 6ft from the SW, with a very long period of 16 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The wind stays offshore from the ESE or SE, making for clean conditions. The issue is, the combined energy is moderate (1970 to 1106), but the forecast notes are calling it marginal, so it might not be as clean as the numbers suggest. It’s surfable, but not the pick of the window.
Now, Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th see the swell picking up to 6ft – 7ft from the SSW, still with that long 16-17 second period. The combined energy jumps into strong territory, hitting 3041 on Sunday morning. However, the wind goes cross-off, which is still okay but takes the edge off the perfection. Sunday morning, though, with offshore wind and that strong energy, is looking like a standout for experienced surfers. The crowd factor is “sometimes” here, so you might have some company, but it’s not a circus.
The real standout, the one you’re going to want to circle on the calendar, is Tuesday the 8th. The afternoon session sees a solid 10ft swell from the SSW, with a period of 18 seconds and a massive combined energy of 6505 – that’s very strong energy. The wind is a gentle cross-off breeze, so it’s clean. This is a day for experts only – 10ft is big, and with that long period, the point and reef will handle it beautifully. That’s the best on offer.
After that, there’s a long stretch of consistent, solid surf right through to the 17th of September. The swell hangs around 6ft to 10ft, mostly from the SW or SSW, with periods of 15 to 19 seconds. The wind is often offshore or cross-off, keeping things clean. The combined energy stays in the moderate to strong range (1358 to 4951). The next real highlight after the 8th is Sunday the 13th, with another 10ft morning swell from the SW, 17-second period, strong energy (4951), and offshore wind. That’s another day for the experienced crew only.
The last week continues with solid, clean surf, but nothing quite as epic as the 8th or 13th. It’s a great run of waves for those who can handle the size.
So, to wrap it up: Temples is the only game in town, and it’s a good one. The standout is Tuesday the 8th afternoon, and the second best is Sunday the 13th morning. Both are big, powerful, and clean. Get on it if you’ve got the skills.
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.
