The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of waves coming up at Temples, a reef and point set-up that loves a good SW swell. The water temp’s sitting at 78°, pretty much average for this time of year, so no need to stress about a wetsuit.
Kicking off Tuesday the 11th, we see a solid 10ft SSW swell rolling in with a long 17-second period – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is pumping at 5146 (strong), but the wind’s a cross-off from the SE at 12 mph, keeping things clean enough for the experienced crew. It’s a bit of a mixed bag though, with marginal tide conditions, so not the pick of the week.
Wednesday the 12th looks cleaner. Offshore ESE winds at 16 mph in the morning drop to 12 mph in the arvo, with a 7ft SSW swell (17-second period) and excellent surf conditions for advanced surfers. The energy’s still moderate at 2857. Thursday the 13th is a standout: 8ft to 10ft SSW swell, long 16-17 second periods, offshore winds, and energy climbing to 3987 and 4153. This is the big daddy – clean, powerful, and firing for those who can handle it.
Friday the 14th holds 7ft SSW swell (16 seconds) in the morning with offshore winds, then fades a bit in the arvo with cross-off winds. Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th keep the consistency going with 7ft SSW swell and 16-17 second periods, offshore winds, and excellent conditions – energy in the 2243 to 2933 range. Monday the 17th sees a drop to 5ft (14 seconds) and lower energy at 1021, but still excellent for experienced surfers.
Then we get a second pulse. Tuesday the 18th picks up again to 7ft SSW swell (16 seconds) with offshore winds, energy at 2656. Wednesday the 19th is the real standout of the second week: 8ft SSW swell, 17-second period, offshore ESE winds at 16 mph, and energy at 3379. That’s a proper session for the advanced crew, though the arvo’s a bit marginal on tide. Thursday the 20th has offshore winds but the swell drops a notch, and Friday the 21st delivers another strong 8ft SSW swell with 17-second period and offshore winds – energy at 3445. Saturday the 22nd is lighter with 6 mph offshore winds but the swell’s 7ft, and Sunday the 23rd fades to 6ft.
Best on offer: Thursday the 13th – 8ft to 10ft SSW groundswell, 16-17 seconds, clean offshore winds, and monster energy. Second standout: Wednesday the 19th and Friday the 21st – both 8ft to 8ft SSW, 16-17 seconds, offshore winds, and excellent conditions. Temples can get crowded sometimes, so get in early. This is serious, powerful surf – not for beginners, with waves over 8ft on the best days, strictly for experts. The long-period swell (over 15 seconds) will make the point and reef sections sing, but beach breaks might get a bit straight.
Stay safe,
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.
