The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board, let’s talk about what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got one solid spot on the radar, and it’s a consistent performer.
The standout here is Temples – a reef and point set-up that’s exposed to the swell and gets optimum direction from the SW. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
The outlook kicks off on Monday, August 31st with a moderate energy swell (1367) pushing in at 4 ft from the SSW, with a long period of 18 seconds and clean offshore ESE winds. It’s a bit on the marginal side, but the afternoon picks up to 6 ft with better conditions. The big turn comes Tuesday, September 1st – the swell jumps to 6 ft from the SW, period 18 seconds, and with a fresh offshore breeze, the waves will have some real shape. This is a day for the experienced crowd.
From Wednesday, September 2nd through the end of the first week, the swell holds around 4 ft to 7 ft, with consistent offshore winds, mostly from the ESE or SE. The energy stays moderate (648 to 2055), and the period drops a bit, but the conditions remain clean. Saturday, September 5th morning is a standout with a 6 ft SSW swell, offshore wind, and good energy (1059) – that’s a solid session.
The second week really turns up the dial. Monday, September 7th sees 7 ft SSW swell with offshore winds, energy ramping up (1819). Then Tuesday, September 8th afternoon is a beauty – 6 ft from the SSW, a very long period of 18 seconds, and really strong energy (3213). The swell direction is perfect for Temples, and the wind is offshore. This is one of the best windows.
Wednesday, September 9th is exceptional – 7 ft to 7 ft from the SSW, periods hitting 20 to 21 seconds, and massive energy (6320). The wind is light and cross-offshore, making the waves super clean. This is expert territory due to the size, but the quality is off the charts. Thursday, September 10th morning pushes to 10 ft from the SSW, period 17 seconds, and energy is still huge (4256). Again, experts only, but the waves will be firing.
The run continues through Friday, September 11th and into the weekend, with 7 ft to 7 ft SSW swells, light winds, and very clean conditions. Saturday, September 12th morning has gentle offshore wind and a 7 ft SSW swell, making it another highlight.
Sunday, September 13th afternoon brings a 10 ft SW swell with moderate energy (4140) and clean conditions – that’s a big, powerful day for the crew who can handle it. The run wraps up Monday, September 14th with a 8 ft SW swell, moderate offshore winds, and good energy (3040), before tapering off on the 15th.
Overall, Temples is the only game in town, but it’s a bloody good one. The first week has plenty of fun, clean waves, but the second week is where the real power shows up. The crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so be ready for company, but the quality is worth it. If you’re an advanced surfer, the second half of the forecast is a dream run.

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.
