The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, giving you the rundown for Temples.
This forecast is a solid run of consistent, long-period SSW groundswell, backed by clean offshore winds. A reef and point break like Temples will be loving this. Water temp is normal for the season.
We start Friday morning, August 28th. A powerful 8ft SSW groundswell is rolling in, with a glassy offshore wind from the ESE. The wave energy is pumping, and it’s clean. This is a standout for experienced surfers early in the period.
The swell eases to about 6ft on Saturday, and 5ft on Sunday, but the offshore winds stick around, keeping the faces clean. The energy drops a bit but it’s still a very fun size for a point break.
Through the first week of September, we hold a consistent 6ft to 7ft of SSW groundswell with moderate offshore breezes. Crowds can show up, but with the consistent nature of Temples, you’ll get your share. The session on Tuesday morning, September 1st is a highlight, with a big energy reading and long 18-second intervals.
There’s a small dip around Thursday, September 3rd, with the swell dropping to 4ft. Still rideable, but nothing special. It builds back to around 6ft for the weekend of the 5th and 6th.
Heading into the second week, the morning of Thursday, September 10th shows a very long-period (19-second) SSW swell at 4ft, with decent energy and offshore wind. A classic point break setup.
The real bangers are at the end of the run. Friday morning, September 11th brings back 8ft of SSW swell with high energy. Then the biggest wave of the forecast: Saturday morning, September 12th, is showing a massive 10ft of SSW swell, with an energy reading over 5000, and a moderate offshore wind. At that size, it’s expert territory only. That’s the standout, but remember it’s over a week away, so keep an eye on it.
All in all, a great outlook for Temples. Good wind, solid swell direction, plenty of power. You’d be a fool to miss the good days.

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.
