The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Temples has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.

First off, don’t let the early scores fool you. For the first few days, the surf is clean but undeniably a bit tricky – the reports are calling it “marginal,” with moderate cross-off winds and a big, powerful swell that’s running a bit too straight for a perfect setup. The water temp is sitting at a pretty balmy 79°, which is about average for this time of year, so you won't need a steamer. The real story starts to turn on Friday the 11th.

That’s when the wind clocks offshore from the ESE, and from that point on, we’ve got a solid run of “excellent” conditions. We’re seeing consistent SSW groundswell in the 7 ft to 8 ft range, but the periods are long – 15 to 18 seconds. That’s proper, powerful groundswell. At Temples, which is a reef and point setup, this long-period energy is going to wrap in beautifully and line up. The combined energy values are sitting in the strong zone (between 1819 and 3342), so there’s plenty of grunt. This is expert territory though – over 8 ft at times, so if you’re not dialled in, give it a wide berth.

The standout window has to be from the morning of Saturday, September 12th, through to the morning of Thursday, September 17th. The swells are holding around 6 ft to 7 ft with that sweet 15-18 second period, and the offshore breeze keeps it clean. It’s not just good, it’s a proper block of quality. The crowd factor at Temples is noted as “sometimes,” so you won’t be completely alone, but with conditions this good, expect company.

Looking further out, the pattern holds. There is no gap in quality. Right through the second week, the wind stays favorable (mostly offshore or gentle offshore) and the swell ticks over. The real cherry on top lands on Tuesday, September 22nd, and Wednesday, September 23rd. We’re looking at a solid 8 ft SSW swell with periods around 17-18 seconds and energy readings skyrocketing to 3785. That’s big, serious, expert-only power, but for those who can handle it, that’s the top of the menu. It’s a few weeks away, so keep an eye on it, but it’s got promise written all over it.

All in all, if you’re an advanced surfer after clean, powerful, long-period groundswell on a reef-point, this is one of the best runs I’ve seen in a while.

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.
