The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty here, and I've got the lowdown on the next sixteen days at Temples.
We're looking at a solid run, with clean, offshore winds dominating the forecast. This is a reef and point setup that's exposed to the swell, so it handles the size well. The water temp is sitting around 79°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so you’re good with just a spring suit.
The action kicks off on Tuesday the 15th with consistent surf. Swell is coming in from the SW at 6ft with a long 15-second period, and those clean ESE offshores are a dream. The wave energy is solid (1436). It's got "advanced" stamped on it because of the power, but if you've got the skills, it's a proper session.
Wednesday the 16th holds similar, with 6ft SSW swell and clean offshores again. The real standout of this first week, though, is going to be Sunday the 20th. We see a jump in size and quality. The morning session is looking choice with a 6ft SW groundswell, a very long 16-second period, and gentle offshore breezes. The wave energy is pumping (1875), and that combo is going to produce some of the best, most lined-up waves of the forecast. The winds stay clean, so get on it early. Crowds can be an issue here sometimes, so plan accordingly.
We then settle into a rhythm of good, clean 5ft to 7ft surf through the middle of the week. Long period groundswells are the theme here—it's going to be offering up some well-shaped, powerful walls that will be a joy on this point.
Now, for the absolute bomb... if you can wait, you have to circle Saturday the 26th of September. The forecast lights up with a massive 10ft SSW pulse, packing an insane 21-second period. The combined wave energy is off the charts (7491). The winds are clean offshores all day. This is expert territory—at 10ft, this is not for the faint of heart or the beginner. It's for the crew who live for that kind of power. Saturday afternoon looks even more intense (8188 energy). This is the undisputed king of the forecast, a truly exceptional day for those who can handle it. The 27th of September remains huge and clean at 10ft, though the period drops back a bit. After that, the end of the window tapers down to still-fun 5ft to 7ft surf.
The one thing to note with these long-period SW groundswells is that on a beach break they can be a bit straight, but on a defined reef and point like Temples, they are going to peel perfectly. It’s shaping up to be an unreal couple of weeks.
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.
