The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of consistent, groundswell-driven surf on the cards for Temples over the next couple of weeks. This is a reef-and-point setup, so it’s built to handle the size and period this swell is throwing at it. The water temp is sitting right around average for this time of year at 79°, so nothing unusual there.

The whole forecast is a long, drawn-out pulse of SSW groundswell. The period is long to very long, mostly 15 to 19 seconds, which means proper energy, long lulls between sets, and well-shaped lines. The downside is that this long period, straight-tracking swell can close out beach breaks, but on a reef and point like Temples, it should groom into proper walls. The combined wave energy is strong to very strong across the board, with values in the thousands—like early on the 9th hitting 2172 —climbing way up into the four-digit range, peaking near 5492 on the 10th and staying up there for days. That’s serious grunt.

We kick off on Sunday the 9th with a clean 7 ft swell from the SSW at 16 seconds and a moderate offshore breeze from the SE. That’s a cracking start, clean and lined up. But the real standout? Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th are pumping. Monday morning sees 6 ft but at 19 seconds, and the energy jumps to 3961. The wind is offshore ESE, so glassy, clean walls. Monday afternoon jumps to 10 ft at 18 seconds, energy hitting 5492. The wind goes cross-offshore, still clean, but that 10 ft swell is getting into expert territory. Tuesday morning is similar—10 ft at 17 seconds, energy 5261, with a light cross-offshore breeze. For experienced surfers, this is the pick of the first week. The size and power are absolutely pumping.

Through the rest of the first week and into the second, the swell stays in the 7 ft to 8 ft range with periods around 15 to 17 seconds, wind often offshore or cross-offshore. Wednesday the 12th, Thursday the 13th, and Friday the 14th all deliver clean, powerful surf. Nothing quite as big as the 10th and 11th, but still solid—energy values are in the 2000 to 3900 range. The morning sessions are generally the cleanest with offshore winds.

The second week stays active. Another notable pulse comes in on Monday the 24th: 10 ft at 17 seconds, energy 4812, with an offshore ESE breeze. That’s big, clean, powerful—expert-only size again, but well worth marking on the calendar for those who can handle it. The days leading up to it on the 22nd and 23rd also have solid 7 ft to 8 ft SSW swell with offshores, so the run doesn’t let up.

Crowds are listed as “sometimes” at Temples, so you won’t always be alone, but on a setup this consistent, expect company during the standout days. The consistency is “fairly consistent,” which for a reef-point means it’s a reliable bet. No gaps of flat days here—the swell is virtually non-stop through the whole 16-day window.

If the 10 ft days are too much grunt, the more moderate 5 ft to 7 ft sessions on the 17th and the morning of the 18th offer a more chilled, still clean option. But for power and shape, you want to aim for the 10th, 11th, and the 24th. That’s proper groundswell at Temples.

Stay safe out there.

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.
