Temples Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey crew, Rusty here.

Well, we’ve got a cracker stretch on the cards at Temples, a deep-water reef and point break that’s exposed to the south-west. The water is sitting at 79°F right now, which is right on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The pattern is clear: we’re in for a sustained run of clean, solid south-west groundswell. There’s a bit of a wait though – Monday the 14th kicks things off with 6 ft from the SW, but it's a bit raw and carries a marginal call. From Tuesday the 15th, it cleans right up. That’s where the real run begins.

Now, if I’m calling the standout, look straight to Saturday the 26th. That morning is a genuine banger: 8 ft of SW swell with a moderate offshore breeze from the SE, and a big combined energy reading of 3594. It’s pushing into proper size – expert territory for sure, over 8 ft – so leave the foam boards at home. The afternoon holds just as solid, still 8 ft and offshore. That’s the pick of the whole window.

Monday the 28th is another beauty – early birds will get 8 ft and offshore again, combined energy at 3609. It’s a big, powerful groundswell with a period around 16 seconds, so those sets will be meaty and well-spaced. Temples handles that kind of energy beautifully thanks to the reef and point setup.

Sunday the 20th is also a good shout: 6 ft in the morning, glassy with a gentle offshore, and energy at 1889. The afternoon bumps to 7 ft but the wind swings cross-offshore, so the morning window is the one to aim for.

Keep in mind, this break is fairly consistent but can get crowded – especially when the quality is this good, so expect some company in the line-up, particularly on the weekends.

The second week holds plenty of interest too. Wednesday the 23rd morning sees 6 ft and a gentle offshore; Thursday the 24th morning offers the same conditions. Tuesday the 29th morning wraps it all up with 7 ft and a gentle offshore – another solid session.

Overall, this is a golden run for experienced surfers at Temples. A lot of clean, powerful, long-period SW groundswell with favourable wind. Don’t sleep on it, and don’t be late.

Rusty.
