The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty checkin’ in from the local line-up. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a solid run of groundswell heading our way, so the boardshorts are stayin’ wet.

We’re kickin’ things off on Wednesday the 19th of August and straight away, Temples is lightin’ up. This is a reef and point set-up, so it handles a solid SW groundswell beautifully. We’re talkin’ a strong 8ft to 8ft swell from the SSW with a long period of 17 to 18 seconds – that’s proper energy, real grunty stuff. The combined energy is rippin’ hard at 3575 to 4121 (strong), so this ain’t for the faint-hearted. The wind is ESE and offshore, keepin’ it clean. The water’s sittin’ at 78°, which is about 1° cooler than average for this time of year, so nothin’ wild, just a touch refreshing. This is top-tier, heavy surf for experienced surfers only. If you’re not solid, give this one a miss.

Thursday the 20th holds that same vibe – 8ft to 8ft from the SW, period droppin’ slightly to 16 seconds, but still solid. Offshore wind again. It’s gonna be a rippin’ couple of days.

Friday the 21st sees a bit of a dip in the morning with a 5ft swell, but the afternoon jumps back up to 8ft. Saturday and Sunday keep that 6ft to 7ft range goin’, with clean conditions and offshore winds through most of it. Sunday afternoon the wind swings cross-off, but still clean. This whole first week is a dream run for anyone with some experience.

Monday the 24th through Tuesday the 25th, we’re still seein’ 6ft to 6ft SSW groundswell with that nice offshore ESE wind. Good, consistent, fun waves.

Then we hit a quieter patch from Wednesday the 26th into the 27th. Swell drops to 5ft, then 3ft to 3ft. The energy drops right off (639 to 1282, weak to moderate). The wind goes cross-off. It’s still surfable, but you’ll be workin’ for it. This is where the lull settles in for a few days.

But hold on… Friday the 28th of August is a proper standout. We get a 8ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, and the wind is glassy. Yes, glassy. That’s a major positive – the combined energy is back up to 2821 (strong). This is an absolute gem of a day for the experienced crew. Saturday the 29th is still solid at 6ft.

We have another small-ish patch over the weekend of the 30th and 31st, but then Monday the 31st into Tuesday the 1st of September is the other big highlight. Monday afternoon sees a 6ft SW groundswell with a very long 20-second period and offshore wind. The energy jumps to 3981 (strong). That’s gonna be clean, powerful, and organized. Tuesday the 1st of September pushes back up to 8ft from the SW with 18-second period – another day for experts only. The consistency is there, and the wind stays offshore.

Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd of September ease back a touch, with 5ft to 6ft SSW swell, but the period is still long (16 to 19 seconds), and the wind remains offshore. Great, clean conditions to finish the run.

For the standout, I’d be lockin’ in the 28th of August for that glassy, heavy 8ft SW groundswell. And then the 31st of August into the 1st of September for that very long-period, clean, powerful swell. Two absolute crackers.

Keep in mind, Temples is fairly consistent, but it can get a crowd at times, so get out there early for the best of it.

Rusty, out.

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.
