The Lowdown
Alright, my friends, Rusty here with the straight talk on Temples. For the next 16 days, this is the only game in town, and it’s a good one.
We kick off Monday, August 17th, with a clean start. Temples is a reef and point break, open to the southwest swell. The first day serves up 5ft of SSW groundswell with a 14-second period, and the energy’s already cooking (911). The wind is off-shore from the ESE, a moderate breeze keeping it glassy. This is the warm-up.
Then we hit the sweet spot. Tuesday, August 18th, the swell jumps to 6ft in the morning with a 16-second period, and the energy is through the roof (2883). The off-shore wind is locked in solid. But Wednesday, August 19th, is the big one. We’re talking 8ft of SSW groundswell, pushing to 8ft by the afternoon, with a 18-second period and massive energy (4103). This is expert-only territory. The wave shape on a reef and point with that long period is just unreal. The off-shore wind holds all day. Thursday the 20th keeps it pumping at 8ft, still with clean off-shore winds, though the period drops to 16 seconds. This three-day window is the peak.
Friday the 21st sees a slight drop in the morning to 5ft, but the afternoon roars back to 8ft with a 17-second period. Saturday the 22nd has a bit of a cross-off wind in the afternoon, but the swell holds at 7ft. Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th are excellent again, with 7ft to 6ft of clean, off-shore swell.
The swell settles a bit from Tuesday the 25th, with 6ft dropping to 5ft by Wednesday. But then Friday the 28th morning catches my eye: 7ft of SSW swell, a 14-second period, and a light off-shore breeze. That’s a clean, powerful setup for experienced surfers. Sunday the 30th is also interesting, with 4ft of 19-second period groundswell – very long lines pushing through the point.
The water temp is about where it should be for late summer. Expect crowds here for sure, it’s a quality wave. The biggest standout is Wednesday, August 19th – 8ft, long-period groundswell and off-shore wind at a reef. That’s the day to circle. A very close second is the whole Tuesday through Thursday window from the 18th to the 20th. For the second week, hold out for Friday the 28th morning.
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.
