The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

We've got a solid run of surf on the cards for the next couple of weeks. The standout is without a doubt Temples, a reef and point break that's set to pump for a good stretch. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing crazy to worry about there.

The first real action kicks off on Thursday, 13 August. Temples is exposed to the swell and the direction is a solid SSW, which is a great match for the spot's optimum. We're looking at a 8ft swell with a very long period of 17 seconds. That's a deep, powerful groundswell, and with a clean, moderate offshore breeze from the SE, the conditions are prime for experienced surfers. The energy is pumping hard at a value of 3965. This is a big, powerful wave, definitely not for beginners, and with that long period, it'll be lining up best on a point or reef like this one, but expect some long lulls between sets. Thursday afternoon sees the swell bump up to 10ft with energy at 4103, and while the wind stays offshore, keep in mind the tide might not be absolutely perfect. Still, if you're an advanced surfer, you'll be in the zone.

Friday the 14th backs off a fraction but stays excellent. Morning brings 7ft from the SSW (period 16s, energy 2725) with a light offshore; afternoon drops to 7ft (period 15s, energy 2267) with the same clean wind. Still excellent conditions for the experienced crew.

As we get into the weekend, Saturday the 15th is a bit of a mixed bag. The swell holds at 7ft (period 17s, energy around 2900) but the wind swings to a cross-offshore, so the surf will be clean but not as perfectly groomed. Still rideable, but the magic of the true offshore is gone. Sunday the 16th brings back the offshore wind, with a 7ft SSW swell (16s period, 2054 energy) in the morning and a slightly smaller 6ft in the afternoon (15s, 1599). This is a great day for solid, clean waves.

The following week looks promising. Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th both offer excellent, clean conditions with moderate offshores. Swell drops to 5ft on Monday but builds back to 6ft on Tuesday with a nice long 16-second period, and energy is back up over 3000. Then Wednesday the 19th sees a pulse of energy, with a 8ft, 18-second swell (energy 4170) in the afternoon. This is one of the best windows of the whole run, with perfect offshore wind and a serious, long-period SSW swell. Thursday the 20th holds at 8ft but the wind picks up to a fresh offshore, 30 km/h, which will still be clean but a bit more challenging.

The second week sees good surf continuing, but the pattern is more consistent than standout. From Friday 21st through to the end of the forecast, we have a mix of excellent and marginal conditions, but overall, it's a solid run with clean offshores most days. The 24th and 25th bring a 5ft to 6ft swell with a very long period of 19 seconds, which is a bit smaller but still has plenty of punch for a reef break. The energy is still strong at 2669.

The real standout windows are the mornings of the 18th, the afternoon of the 19th, and the mornings of the 27th and 28th. Get on it, it's going to be a good couple of weeks for Temples.

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.
