The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming for the Temples stretch.

We’ve got a solid run of swell ahead, with the main action coming from the SW quadrant—right in the wheelhouse for this reef-and-point setup. The water temp is sitting at 78°F, which is only a touch below the long-term average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

The first decent call comes Tuesday the 25th. It’s not a standout, but there’s clean surf on offer with a 6-ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a very long 16-second period. That kind of period loves a reefy point like Temples. The wind’s offshore from the ESE, keeping things clean even if it’s a bit fresh at 19 mph. The combined swell energy is solid at 1322, so there’s real push behind it. It’s better for the experienced crew at this size.

Things build into Friday the 28th, and that is the first true standout. Friday morning you’re looking at 8-ft of SSW swell, still with that long 16-second period. The wind is light offshore from the SE at just 9 mph. The combined energy cranks up to 3731—strong stuff. This is expert territory; it’s going to be a powerful, clean day at Temples. The wind stays offshore through the morning, and the afternoon goes cross-offshore, still glassy. This is the best session of the window.

From there, we ease a bit into the weekend, but there are still good waves. Saturday the 29th has 7-ft SSW swell, clean again with light cross-offshore winds. Sunday the 30th stays clean with moderate offshore winds and 5-ft SSW swell. It’s not as big, but it’s fun and consistent.

Now, rolling into the first week of September, the swell sticks around but drops in size. Monday the 31st has 5 to 6-ft SSW swell with 18-second periods—very long period again. That’ll produce beautiful, lined-up waves at Temples with moderate offshore winds. Tuesday the 1st sees a bit more size again, 6 to 7-ft SW swell, but the wind picks up to a fresh 19 mph in the morning. Still offshore, so it’s clean, but it’s more of a handful. Combined energy around 1992–2207.

Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are both clean with moderate offshore winds and 5 to 6-ft SW swell—consistent, workable surf for the experienced. The energy drops back into the 1000 to 2000 range.

There’s a bit of a lull around Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th—swell drops to 4 to 5-ft with cross-offshore winds. Not bad, but less punch. Then Sunday the 6th punches back: 7-ft SSW swell, light offshore winds in the morning, and combined energy of 2588. That’s a strong, clean session. Monday the 7th keeps the size up at 8-ft SSW, with moderate offshore winds—another solid expert day.

The last few days (8th to 9th September) settle back into the 5 to 6-ft range, with clean conditions and moderate offshore winds. Nothing huge, but still plenty of fun, groomed waves.

All in all, don’t sleep on Friday the 28th and Sunday the 6th of September. Those are your top-tier days: big, clean, powerful SSW groundswell hitting Temples right where it wants to. Crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so there might be a few out, but with that size, it’ll thin out.

Stay safe out there.

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.
