The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and we've got a ripper of a run coming in for Temples over the next couple of weeks. This is a solid sequence, all from the same spot, so I'll just walk you through what's on the cards. We've got a clean, moderate offshore breeze holding in for the bulk of the period, so get ready for some beautiful line-ups.
First up, Thursday the 10th, it's kicking off with a good, strong SW groundswell, 7 ft at 16 seconds from the SSW. The water's sitting at a pretty standard 79° for this time of year. The combined energy is pumping at 2431 (moderate to strong), and with a clean SE breeze, the conditions are going to be excellent for experienced surfers. This is a proper reef and point break, and that long period (16 seconds) is perfect for it—those waves will wrap in with plenty of juice.
Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th keep the run going. Friday morning sees a slight drop to 6 ft from the SW with a gentle offshore breeze, still clean as a whistle. The energy stays strong at 1865. Saturday morning drops a touch to 5 ft, still from the SW, but the period backs off a little to 14 seconds. Still solid and consistent, with the same glassy offshore conditions.
Now, Sunday the 13th is a real standout. We've got 6 ft in the morning and building to 7 ft by the afternoon from the SW, but the period jumps to 18 seconds for the morning session—very long period groundswell. The combined energy hits a huge 2554 in the morning and 2625 in the afternoon. These are serious waves with heaps of water moving. That super long period will make them peel beautifully on the point, but the sets will be less frequent, giving you plenty of time to get into position. Excellent conditions with that steady offshore breeze.
Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th keep the quality high, with solid 6 ft to 6 ft SW swells, periods around 15-16 seconds, and clean offshores. The energy is still strong, between 1300 and 1500. Every session is marked as excellent for experienced surfers.
We get a slight hiccup on Wednesday the 16th afternoon, where the wind turns cross-off, and the quality drops to marginal. The rest of the week, from Thursday the 17th right through to Tuesday the 22nd, stays really solid. Swells hold between 4 ft and 6 ft, mainly from the SSW or SW, with periods mostly in the 14-16 second range. Winds are largely offshore or light cross-off, keeping things clean. The standout in this stretch is Sunday the 20th, with a 6 ft to 6 ft SW swell at 16 seconds and 1927 energy, but keep in mind the wind is cross-off, so it's clean but not quite as perfect as the straight offshore days. Also worth a mention is Tuesday the 22nd afternoon—a smaller 3 ft swell but with a very long 20-second period from the SSW, delivering 1417 energy. That's a sneaky good session on the point for a board with some paddle power.
Head into the final week, and Wednesday the 23rd morning is another standout session. A clean 7 ft at 17 seconds from the SSW with a gentle offshore—the energy is a monstrous 2674. That's big, powerful, and lined up. But at over 7 ft, this is for experts only. The afternoon gets a bit cross-off and marginal.
Then we round it out with the best of the lot. Friday the 25th morning: 8 ft at 16 seconds from the SSW, combined energy of 3257 (very strong), with a clean moderate offshore. This is a serious, heavy swell. The size means it's strictly for advanced surfers. The afternoon dips to a still solid 8 ft. That Friday is the absolute standout of the whole outlook, but the crowds at Temples can be a factor—it can get busy, so get in early.
So, bottom line: we've got over two weeks of good to epic surf at Temples. The moderate offshore wind is a massive positive, keeping things clean almost every day. The Thursday the 10th kick-off and especially the Friday the 25th morning session are the true highlights. There is almost no gap in quality surf here, just a few sessions with cross-off winds that are still rideable. No other breaks to compare; it's all on right here.
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.
