The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, and we’re looking at a solid run ahead. The main event is all at Temples, a reef and point break that’s exposed to the swell. It's a spot for advanced surfers only, given the size on the way.

We kick off on Saturday the 22nd of August with a 7.2 ft SSW groundswell, a period of 16 seconds, and clean offshore ESE winds at 15.5 mph. This is top-shelf stuff. The combined energy is pumping hard at (2415), and the water temp is about average for this time of year. It’s going to be a powerful, clean wave. This pattern holds through Sunday the 23rd, with a 5.9 ft SSW swell, 15-second period, and light offshore winds at 12.4 mph. The energy is still strong at (2256) on Sunday arvo.

Now, looking through the week. Monday the 24th sees cross-off winds which will take the shine off a bit, but the swell is still there. Tuesday the 25th brings a fresh offshore ESE breeze at 18.6 mph on the morning session with a 5.6 ft SSW swell (1336 energy), so expect a clean but solid morning. Wednesday the 26th sees the swell drop a touch to 4.9-5.2 ft, but again with clean offshore winds.

The real standout, the best of this run, looks like Friday the 28th of August. We’ve got a bigger 8.2 ft SSW groundswell, a 16-second period, and light offshore ESE winds at 12.4 mph. The combined energy is a massive (3421). This is going to be a peak day for experienced surfers – big, clean, and powerful.

After that, we keep a good run of waves. Saturday the 29th offers a 6.6 ft SSW swell with clean offshore winds for the morning. A long-period 20-second SW groundswell arrives on Tuesday morning the 1st of September, but a fresh 18.6 mph ESE wind will make it tricky. That same day’s afternoon session has a 6.9 ft SW swell with slightly lighter winds and combined energy at (3161) – a promising but less certain call this far out.

Into the first week of September, Wednesday the 2nd looks fantastic again. A 6.9 ft SW swell with a 17-second period, clean offshore winds, and energy near (2704). Temples is going to be the place to be.

A quick heads-up on the swell direction: this spot works best with the swell from the SW, and that’s exactly what’s coming through for most of this period. The crowds label says “sometimes” here, so you will have company, but for waves this good, it’s worth it.

Temples is a reef and point setup, so with these long period swells (15-20 seconds), expect the sets to be well-spaced, making the paddle out a bit easier, but the wave itself will have serious power and shape. Not one for beginners with the size pushing over 5 ft and hitting 8.2 ft on the peak day.

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.
