The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next couple of weeks in the water.
We’re starting off small. The first few days (Thursday 23rd to Saturday 25th) are nothing to get excited about. The waves are tiny, and the energy is weak. The good news is the wind is offshore, keeping Temples clean. The water is 26°, which is just normal for this time of year.
Sunday 26th brings a bit more size, with waves around 7 to 8 feet, but the period is short (9 seconds), so it’s going to be a bit of a mess. Rain showers don’t help. Monday 27th is similar, just smaller.
The action really starts to build from Monday 29th of July. The swell period gets longer, and we get consistent, clean, offshore winds. The wave energy is solid, with readings in the thousands.
The absolute best window is the first week of August. From Saturday 1st August through to Wednesday 6th, we’ve got a proper run of groundswell. The energy readings are massive, hitting up to 4028 on Tuesday 4th. That’s serious power. Swell sizes are 5 to 8 feet, with long periods (14 to 19 seconds). The wind is light and offshore, so Temples is going to be glassy. The water is warm, and the wave quality is excellent for experienced surfers. For the bigger days (7 to 8 feet), this is experts only. The long period and reef/point setup will give you some proper, lined-up waves.
The pick of the lot? Tuesday 4th August. The wind is a gentle breeze (15 km/h), the swell is 8 feet from the SSW with a 17-second period, and the wave energy is massive (4028). This is a full-on, world-class session for the crew who know what they’re doing. It’s a long way off, so keep an eye on it, but it looks like a belter.
Wednesday 5th and Thursday 6th are also excellent. The size drops a little, but the power and clean conditions are still there. Expect crowds at Temples because the quality is going to be high.
The second week (from 7th August) eases off a bit, but there’s still good, clean surf with 7-foot SSW groundswell and a 15-second period. Don’t put the boards away.
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.
