The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. We’ve got one spot lighting up the 16-day window, and it’s a proper run of swell for the experienced crew.
Right off the bat, we’re looking at a solid sequence starting on August 4th. The main event is Temples – a reef and point set-up that’s exposed to the swell. The water is sitting at 79°, pretty much bang on average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The first few days bring a steady 6 ft to 7 ft SSW swell with a 14 to 17-second period. That’s proper groundswell, and with a consistent ESE to SE offshore wind, the conditions are clean and lined up. The wave energy is already strong (1148 to 2460), and it’s solid expert territory. The break is fairly consistent, so you can expect sets to march in, but with that long period, the gaps between them will give you a breather for the paddle out. Keep in mind crowds are possible here, but with this size, the crowd will thin out.
Things really ramp up on Friday, August 7th. The morning swell hits 8 ft from the SSW at a 17-second period, with strong energy (3090), and the wind stays clean offshore. By Friday afternoon, it’s pushing 8 ft and the energy jumps to 3628. This is excellent, heavy surf for advanced surfers only. Anything over 8 ft is strictly for the experts, and that’s the case through the weekend.
Then, hold onto your board. Monday, August 10th is the standout. The morning sees a 6 ft swell with a super-long 20-second period and massive energy (3335). The wind is offshore, clean. But the real story is Monday afternoon – a 10 ft SSW swell with an 18-second period, and the energy rating is a whopping 5377. That’s exceptional, powerful groundswell for expert surfers only. The wind stays offshore, making for some of the best, most critical waves you’ll see in this window. If you’re charging, that’s your session.
The following week continues to pump with solid 7 ft to 10 ft swells, mostly clean offshore winds, and strong energy. The morning of August 17th brings a nice 6 ft swell with a 19-second period and 3015 energy, another clean standout. The wind stays favourable, but the size does creep back up to 8 ft by the 18th, keeping it firmly in expert territory.
There’s no gap here – the surf is on from the 4th right through to the 19th. It’s a full block of solid, consistent groundswell. Just remember, this is a reef and point break, so the long-period swells will wrap in beautifully, but it’s not a spot for the faint-hearted.
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.
