The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break this down. Temples is the only game in town, and it’s a reef and point that loves a good SW groundswell. The water temp is about normal for this time of year.
The first few days are a warm-up. Thursday the 30th has clean, offshore wind but the swell is a little raw, with moderate energy (1261). It’s okay, not the best. Friday the 31st morning is where it gets real. A 4ft, 17-second SSW groundswell is pushing in with moderate offshore winds, and the energy is building (1477). The word is excellent for experienced surfers.
Then we hit the weekend. Saturday the 1st of August is a standout. The morning serves up a 5ft, 16-second SSW swell with a gentle offshore breeze and clean conditions. The energy is climbing (1690). The afternoon is even better: 6ft, 18-second SSW groundswell, still gentle offshore, and the energy jumps to 2428. That’s a proper pulse. Light wind, long lines, excellent quality. This is the best of the first week.
Sunday the 2nd keeps the run going with 7ft, 17-second SSW swell and moderate offshore wind. The energy is strong (2275). This is expert territory, but it’s clean and powerful. The whole run from Friday morning through to Wednesday the 5th is a dream string of consistent offshore winds and solid SSW groundswell. The energy stays in the 1400-2300 range, making for some meaty, well-shaped waves.
There’s a bit of a lull on Wednesday afternoon and Thursday the 6th morning due to tide, but Thursday afternoon fires back with a 8ft, 16-second SSW swell and excellent conditions. The energy is very strong (2714). The following week, from the 10th of August onward, the swell gets bigger and more powerful, but the winds turn more cross-offshore. The 13th of August morning brings a 10ft, 18-second SSW groundswell with clean conditions and exceptional energy (6559). This is for experts only. The 14th of August morning is the biggest of the run: 13ft, 19-second SSW groundswell, gentle offshore, and the energy is off the charts (12190). That’s a proper big-wave day for the brave few.
So, the standout is Saturday the 1st of August, both morning and afternoon, for the perfect mix of size, period, and light offshore wind. If you’re an expert, the 13th and 14th of August are the big, serious swell days. Crowds are possible at Temples, so get there early, especially on the weekend.

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.
