Temples Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Temples, and let me tell you, we’ve got a serious run of surf coming our way. This isn't just a little bump; this is a proper, sustained pulse of south-west swell that’s going to keep this reef and point setup firing for a good stretch. The water temp is sitting right on 80°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The action kicks off Sunday the 12th. It’s small, only 3 ft from the SSW, but with a clean offshore breeze, it’s a nice little intro. The real story starts Monday the 13th. By the afternoon, the swell jumps to 3 ft, but the period stretches out to a very long 21 seconds. That’s groundswell energy, and Temples is exactly the kind of spot that loves it. The combined energy is already a solid 1059 (moderate). Monday morning is a bit smaller at 2 ft, but that same long-period groundswell will be there.

Then Tuesday the 14th is where things get exciting. Morning sees 6 ft swell, and by the afternoon it’s pushing 7 ft, both from the SSW with a period of 17-18 seconds. The wind is offshore and clean. The combined energy rockets to 2749 (strong) by the afternoon. This is big, powerful, clean surf. But look, at 7 ft, this is only for experienced surfers; it’s going to be a handful.

Wednesday the 15th holds in at 7 ft in the morning and 6 ft in the afternoon, still with that clean offshore wind. The energy is still strong (2084). The swell pulse keeps going through Thursday and Friday, with heights settling around 5 ft to 5 ft. The wind stays offshore, but it picks up a bit to a fresh breeze on Thursday and Friday, so it’ll be a bit choppier on the surface, but still clean.

The real standout, the one you need to circle on your calendar, is Saturday the 25th of July. The morning session is looking absolutely mint. We’ve got a 7 ft SSW swell with a long 18-second period, clean offshore wind, and the combined energy is a massive 3792 (very strong). That’s a world-class morning at Temples, but again, for experienced surfers only. The afternoon bumps up to 8 ft, but the wind swings cross-off, so the morning is the pick.

Sunday the 26th of July is still pumping, with a 7 ft SSW swell in the morning and clean offshore winds. Energy is still strong at 2214. Another one for the crew who know what they’re doing.

After that, the swell slowly fades as we head into the last week of July, with heights dropping to 4 ft to 5 ft by the 27th. The wind remains offshore, so it’ll stay clean, just smaller.

Overall, Temples is the only game in town, and it’s a bloody good one. The best of the best is Saturday the 25th morning. Get on it.

Rusty.
