The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards. The only spot that’s showing any real promise in this stretch is Temples, a reef and point break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the south-west. It’s an advanced wave, so not for the faint-hearted. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, nothing wild there.
The early part of the window is a bit of a write-off, to be honest. Starting Saturday the 25th of July, we’ve got a moderate offshore breeze from the ESE, but the swell is a touch short and the energy is only moderate (1010). It’s clean, but the surf is marginal and the tide is questionable. That’s the story for the next few days, really. Sunday the 26th kicks up a bit in size – 7ft to 8ft – but that period drops to 9 seconds, and the wind is a fresh 22 mph offshore. It’s clean, but with that short period, it’s hard work. The energy on Sunday afternoon ramps up to moderate (1135), but the quality just isn’t there for a proper session.
Monday and Tuesday the 27th and 28th are a write-off for decent waves. The swell is either too small or too short, and the wind is strong. The 28th has a tiny 3ft swell with a very long 16-second period, but the energy is still moderate (714). Long period and small swell is a tease.
Wednesday the 29th through to Thursday the 30th sees a slight improvement. Swell sits around 4ft to 5ft, period is 14 to 15 seconds, and the energy is getting stronger (up to 1513). The wind is still a fresh offshore, so it’s clean, but the forecast is still marginal. It’s a waiting game.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The standout window starts on Friday the 31st of July. The morning is still marginal, but by Friday afternoon, the energy jumps to strong (1513), with a 4ft swell from the SSW at 17 seconds. The wind is a moderate offshore, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the first real green light.
Saturday the 1st of August is the true champ on offer. The morning has a 5ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, and by the afternoon, it’s 6ft at 18 seconds, with the energy hitting 2101. The wind is a light 12 mph offshore, and it’s glassy clean. This is a classic set-up: a long-period groundswell, perfect for the reef and point, with clean conditions. Get on it.
Sunday the 2nd of August is also a cracker, with a 6ft to 5ft swell at 16 to 20 seconds, and the energy is very strong (3008 to 3458). The wind is still light offshore. It’s a top-tier session, though the crowds at Temples can be a problem, so get there early.
After that, the surf stays solid but the wind picks up a bit. Monday the 3rd has a 8ft swell, but that’s getting big and the wind is a fresh 19 mph. That’s expert territory. Tuesday the 4th through to the following weekend still has good size – 6ft to 7ft – and consistent SSW swell, with periods around 15 to 16 seconds. The wind remains offshore, so it’s clean. The energy is strong to very strong (up to 2451) right through to the 9th of August. A solid run of waves.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is mostly a letdown, but the second week, starting Friday the 31st of July and running through the weekend, is where you want to be. Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd of August are the absolute standouts – solid 5ft to 6ft SSW groundswell, long period, glassy offshore wind, and the reef will be firing. It’s a bit of a drive for some, but it’s worth it.

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.
