The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of surf at Temples stretching right across the forecast. This is a reef and point break, exposed to a dominant SW swell direction, and the prevailing offshore wind is ESE—which is exactly what you want here. It’s fairly consistent, so you won’t be left waiting around for hours. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
We kick off on Tuesday morning, the 1st of September. Swell is a clean 7ft from the SSW, with a super-long period of 18 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, with heaps of energy (2,523 in the combined energy) but it’s best suited to this reef setup, where the long lines won’t close out. The wind is fresh offshore at 19 mph, so it’s clean but a bit punchy. The score is marginal, more for experienced surfers given the size and long period. The afternoon holds solid too: 7ft from the SW, 17-second period, moderate offshore.
Wednesday the 2nd is a standout. Morning brings 6ft from the SW, 16-second period, with a moderate offshore breeze—excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The combined energy is 1,970, and it’s clean as a whistle. The afternoon repeats the quality, 6ft, same direction, same clean offshore wind. This is the pick of the first few days if you’ve got the skill.
Thursday the 3rd drops a bit—5ft in the morning, 16 seconds, still offshore—but the energy is moderate (1,069) and the quality is just okay. The afternoon gets smaller at 5ft. Friday the 4th is smaller again, around 4ft, with moderate offshore wind in the morning. The combined energy is weak (662).
Now Saturday the 5th is a real highlight. Morning offers 7ft from the SSW, 16-second period, with that clean offshore wind and excellent conditions for experienced surfers. Energy jumps to 2,024. Sunday the 6th is even better: 7ft from the SSW, 18-second period, moderate offshore, and the combined energy is a thumping 2,741. That’s a serious surf day.
Monday the 7th keeps it pumping: 7ft from the SSW, 14-second period, moderate offshore—again excellent for the experienced crew. The energy is 1,956. Tuesday the 8th is the absolute standout of the whole run. The afternoon session is massive: 8ft from the SSW, 18-second period, with a gentle breeze and clean conditions. The combined energy is 5,515—that’s strong, powerful swell. This is expert-only territory. The morning is also excellent, 7ft, 16 seconds, clean.
Wednesday the 9th is another banger: morning 8ft from the SSW, 16 seconds, light breeze and clean, energy at 3,387. The afternoon goes 8ft with a gentle offshore at 9 mph, energy 3,917—both excellent for experienced surfers.
From Thursday the 10th through to the end, the quality remains high. Thursday: 7ft in the morning, 16 seconds, moderate offshore. Friday the 11th is notable: afternoon delivers 7ft from the SSW, 16 seconds, gentle offshore, and the combined energy is a huge 4,652—exceptional for experts. Saturday the 12th holds at 6ft, and Sunday the 13th gives 5ft with a risk of thunderstorms in the morning, but still offshore wind.
Into the second week, it starts to taper. Monday the 14th is smaller, around 5ft to 6ft, but still clean and rideable. Tuesday the 15th sees a morning pulse of 7ft from the SSW, 14 seconds, with barely any wind—clean and glassy. The combined energy is 1,874. Wednesday the 16th wraps it up with 6ft from the SSW, 13 seconds, and a gentle breeze.
The absolute best on offer is Tuesday the 8th afternoon, or Wednesday the 9th morning. Those are the true standouts. If you want big, clean, powerful surf at a point break, that’s your window. This is a long run for the area, so don’t sleep on it. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
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.
