The Lowdown

Alright crew, Rusty here with the full lowdown for the next couple of weeks. The picture is looking real good for those who know what they’re doing at Temples. This is a spot for the experienced surfers, no doubt about it.

We’ve got a solid run of swell coming in from the southwest. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing too weird there. The wave energy is off the charts for this stretch, with the combined swell energy hitting a massive 1727 (moderate to strong energy). The offshore breezes from the ESE are going to keep things clean.

Saturday, September 12th we kick off with head-high sets around 5ft from the SW, 14-second period. That’s a nice groundswell, and the wind is blowing straight offshore. It’s gonna be a clean day, but the power is up, so not one for the groms. The combined energy is a solid 1727.

Sunday, September 13th the swell picks up a notch. Morning sees 6ft, and it builds to 7ft by the afternoon. The period stretches out to 18 seconds, which is proper long-period groundswell. That kind of energy (2512 in the morning, 2625 in the afternoon) really favors this reef and point set-up. The offshore wind holds all day.

Monday, September 14th we’re still cooking with 6ft to 6ft from the SW, period dropping slightly to 16 seconds. The morning looks excellent, but the afternoon gets a little touchy with the tide – still clean, but the quality might fade a bit.

From Tuesday the 15th all the way through to Friday the 18th, the pattern holds. Consistent 5ft to 6ft swells, still from the SW and SSW, with offshore or gentle cross-off breezes. The energy sits in the 900 to 1500 range. It’s not massive, but it’s clean, and the consistency is there for the dedicated local crew.

Now, Saturday, September 19th – we have a little drop in size to 4ft, but the wind is light and more variable, so the shape could be glassy. This is a nice, manageable day for those who don't want a beating.

Sunday, September 20th the power comes back. We’re seeing 7ft to 7ft from the SW with a 16-second period and combined energy of 1999 and 2175. This is getting into the expert-only territory – don’t be out there if you’re not comfortable in solid, powerful surf.

The week that follows, from Monday the 21st to Friday the 25th, is a steady diet of excellent surf. Swells hang around 6ft to 7ft, solid SSW groundswell, and offshore winds. The highlight of the entire run is shaping up for Friday, September 25th. The morning has a 6ft swell with a staggering 20-second period – that’s the kind of long-range groundswell that puts a ton of energy into the water (3915 combined energy). The afternoon jumps to 10ft (7490 combined energy) which is huge, but the wind goes cross-off, so it might be a bit lumpy. For the big wave chargers, the morning of Saturday, September 26th is the standout. A clean 10ft from the SSW with a 17-second period and gentle offshore breeze. The combined energy is 5064. That is serious, serious surf for experts only.

Sunday, September 27th we start to see things drop back, with 7ft to 7ft, but still a good way to finish the run.

The standout is without a doubt Temples. This exposed reef and point break is going to be handling the long-period SW/SSW groundswell perfectly. The ESE and SE offshore winds will keep the faces clean week after week. The crowds can be a factor here sometimes, but with conditions this good, expect a few other boats in the channel. For the experienced surfer, there is a lot of quality on offer, especially from the 13th to the 15th, and then the big day on the 25th and 26th.

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.
