The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, giving you the lowdown on Temples in feet and miles. It's a reef and point that loves a good SW swell, and we are in for a treat.
Water temp is about average for the season, nothing unusual. This is a sustained pulse, not a flash in the pan. We're talking a long-period groundswell that builds, holds, and slowly fades, with plenty of grunt in the water.
Thursday and Friday the 3rd and 4th start us off with a solid offshore breeze and clean surf in the 5 ft to 5 ft range. The period is long, 14 to 16 seconds, which is a bonus for a setup like Temples. It's a bit average on Thursday, but the quality gets better by Friday afternoon.
Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th see the swell build to 6 ft to 7 ft out of the SSW. Still clean with a cross-off wind. This is getting into the territory that's too big for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it's a proper session. The 7th stays similar but with a lighter breeze.
The standout window is the 8th and 9th. Monday morning the 8th has a 5 ft, 19-second groundswell – that is a *very* long period, and with a light cross-off, Temples will be running perfectly. Tuesday the 9th is the absolute pick: 8 ft SSW swell at 16 seconds with a light breeze. That's powerful, clean, expert-level surf.
Into the second week, from the 10th onward, you're looking at 5 ft to 8 ft of clean, mostly offshore wind swell. The winds lock in from the ESE and SE, giving us those repeated clean conditions. The 17th and 18th fade out nicely with gentle offshores and 5 ft to 6 ft waves.
Crowds are expected at Temples, especially on the best days, but with a run this long and clean, it's worth jockeying for a wave. Don't miss that Tuesday the 9th.
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.
