The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a solid, extended run of groundswell on the way, so the waiting game is over. The standout here is Temples, a reef and point set-up that’s going to be handling a consistent, long-period SSW swell for the bulk of the forecast. This is a wave for experienced surfers only, so if you’re not comfortable in powerful, ledgey waves, give this one a miss. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year.
The action kicks off on Sunday morning, the 9th of August. It’s not the biggest day, but with a clean 7 ft SSW swell at 16 seconds and a moderate offshore breeze from the ESE, Temples will be looking pretty tidy. The combined energy is strong at 2228. That’s a good, punchy shoulder-high wave.
The next standout hits on Monday, the 10th of August. The morning session sees the swell dip slightly to 6 ft, but the period jumps to a very long 19 seconds. The energy jumps to a very strong 3713. With that same offshore ESE wind, it’s going to be grinding, lined-up, and clean as a whistle. That’s the pick of the early window for sure. The afternoon gets bigger and a bit wind-affected, so stick to the morning.
Tuesday the 11th of August afternoon looks unreal too. The swell is 8 ft from the SSW at 16 seconds, the wind swings offshore again, and the energy is still massive at 4618. That’s a solid, well-overhead wave for those who can handle it.
We’ve got a consistent run all week, with offshore winds and clean conditions on most of the mornings. The size hangs around the 7 ft to 8 ft range for most of the first week, with the combined energy staying well into the strong category.
As we push into the second week, around the 18th of August, the pattern holds. The 18th and 19th of August look excellent, with offshore ESE winds and good, strong energy levels around 2080 to 3513. The 20th of August morning could be a real standout. The swell is 8 ft from the SW, a slight shift in direction that suits the break perfectly, with clean offshore winds and very strong energy at 3427. That’s a heavy, powerful day for the experienced crew.
We wind down through the 22nd and 23rd with the swell easing but staying clean and ridable, right through to Monday the 24th of August which still offers a nice 6 ft SSW swell at 15 seconds to finish the run.
There are no real gaps in this forecast. It’s a rare, two-week stretch of solid, consistent, offshore-condition surf at a quality reef and point break. If you can get out there, do it. If you’re a beginner, stay on the beach and watch.
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.
