The Lowdown

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a solid stretch of rideable surf ahead, all coming from that same south-west groundswell. It’s not going to be a clean, non-stop run of perfection, but there are some definite windows that’ll get the stoke up.

The standout for this whole period is going to be the early run, kicking off this Saturday morning. The swell is building, but it's still manageable, and that light cross-offshore breeze is going to keep things clean. We’re looking at surf around 6.2ft, and the energy in the water is strong at 1552. This is a genuine peak for the pick of the bunch.

The weekend more broadly holds up okay, but the winds are up on Sunday, and Monday’s swell drops off a touch before a lovely long-period pulse arrives. That Monday afternoon push to 5.6ft with an 18-second period is exactly what you want. It’s a long groundswell, so expect some proper lines. The energy is right up there at 1892.

Now, for the first surf break, let's talk about Temples (Temples) . The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. This spot is a reef and point, so that long-period swell is going to wrap in nicely. It's a break for the experienced crew, so be aware. Crowds are "sometimes" a factor, so you might have some company on the peak. The swell direction is SSW, which matches what this spot likes.

The week after starts off strong with a couple of 6.6ft days, but the forecast is calling it "marginal," which I read as a tide or shape issue. The winds are still offshore, but that size at Temples with its reef and point setup can get a bit tricky. It's not a beginner wave at this size. We’ve got substantial energy in the water, hitting four digits on the combined scale.

That mid-week window from Wednesday the 2nd through Friday the 4th cleans up nicely. Wave heights drop back to that 3.9ft to 6.2ft range, the energy settles to moderate, and those clean offshore winds should be delivering some very fun, shapey waves. This is when you want to be out there.

Then, heading into the second week, it's more of the same but with less certainty. The winds stay offshore but get a bit stronger. We see another push of size around the 5th and 6th, but the wind gets a bit cross-off, which will take the edge off the perfection. It’ll still be surfable, just not as clean.

There’s a jump in size on the 7th, with waves around 7.5ft, but again, the winds aren't as clean, and the forecast is "marginal." This is one for the experienced locals who know the bank.

The good news is the pattern persists. There are more south-west swells on the charts for the 9th and 10th, with solid offshore winds and good energy levels. That should bring back some of that quality we saw early on.

The final few days of the window, from the 11th through the 13th, are promising but less certain. The wind is forecast to be fresh offshore, which is great, and there’s plenty of size and energy. On the 12th, we see a big jump to 7.2ft with a long 18-second period and a huge energy reading of 3920. This could be the biggest, most powerful swell of the whole period, but it’s a long way out, so we’ll have to see how it materializes. At over 7.9ft on the 13th, this is strictly for the experts.

All in all, get on it early this weekend and again mid-week next week for the cleanest conditions.

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.
