The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and here’s how the next stretch is looking at Temples.
We’ve got a solid run of surf lined up, and it’s all coming from the southwest. There’s no gap at the start; we get straight into it. The water is sitting at 78°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The strongest pulse of the whole period kicks off on Friday the 21st. Morning sees a clean 5ft SSW groundswell with a very long period of 18 seconds, and the wind is a light offshore off the ESE. The combined energy is pumping at 2588, so there’s plenty of power. It picks up to 8ft by the afternoon with similar wind, making this the standout day for experienced surfers. The long period will make the waves peel nicely on the reef and point setup here.
The action holds through the weekend and into the early week. Saturday the 22nd keeps the 7ft to 7ft range, still clean with offshore winds, though the energy dips slightly. Sunday the 23rd is similar at 6ft. By Monday the 24th, we’re still seeing 6ft SSW swell with moderate offshore flow. It’s all solid, but not quite the peak of Friday.
Things back off a touch mid-week around the 26th and 27th, with heights dropping to 5ft and 4ft, but the swell period remains long, so the quality stays decent. Then we get another spike on Friday the 28th, with a big 8ft SSW swell and combined energy hitting 4128. That’s a serious wave and only for experts, though the cross-off wind in the afternoon could make it tricky. Saturday the 29th still has a clean 7ft in the morning.
Into the first week of September, there’s another strong push. Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd both show excellent conditions. Wednesday the 2nd is a standout of the long-range window, with an 8ft SW swell, offshore wind, and energy at 3654. The direction is right on the money for Temples. After that, it fades into cleaner but smaller surf through the 4th and 5th, with a final pulse of 7ft on the 5th but with cross-off winds.
Overall, Friday the 21st is your clear best bet – biggest initial swell, perfect wind, and that long-period energy. For the second week, Wednesday the 2nd of September is the one to circle, but it’s a way off so keep an eye on it.
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.
