The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Alright, we’ve got a long window of surf to look at, and it’s all coming from one spot: Temples. This is a reef and point setup, so we’re talking proper lines, and it’s pretty much on from the get-go.
Right out of the gate, Tuesday the 1st is a bit average despite the swell. We’ve got a clean 7ft SSW groundswell with a very long period of 18 seconds, but the wave energy is massive (2523) and the wind is a fresh 19 mph offshore from the ESE. It’s clean, but the comment says it’s marginal, so don’t get your hopes up for perfection. Water temp is 80°, about average for this time of year.
Things start to look good from Wednesday the 2nd morning. Swell drops slightly to 6ft from the SW, still a nice 16-second groundswell, and the offshore wind is a moderate 16 mph from the ESE. Conditions are marked as excellent for experienced surfers. This is a solid, clean session.
The real standout, no question, is Tuesday the 8th. That morning we’ve got 8ft of SSW groundswell with a very long 18-second period, and the combined energy is absolutely pumping at 5472. The wind is a moderate 12 mph offshore from the SE. This is expert territory, and the forecast calls it exceptional. For a reef and point like Temples, that long-period groundswell will set up beautifully, though it might be a bit heavy for the faint-hearted.
Through the second week, from Thursday the 10th onward, there’s a steady diet of 5ft to 7ft SW and SSW swells with periods around 15-16 seconds. Mornings keep offering that offshore wind, giving us clean, surfable waves. The energy stays moderate to strong, and it’s consistent. This is just a reliable run of surf—solid, not spectacular, but you’ll get waves.
Crowds can be an issue here at Temples, marked as “sometimes” busy, which means it’s worth getting up early for that glassy morning session. This break rarely lets you down when it’s this stacked, and with the point reef structure, those long-period swells will wrap in with power. Keep your wits about you if it’s over 8ft—that’s expert-only.
No other breaks in the mix, so it’s all Temples, all the way. The first week has the biggest potential, especially the 8th, but the whole run is worth paddling out for.
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.
