The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Temples.

We’ve got a solid run of surf ahead, no real gap at the start – the action kicks off straight away. This is a reef and point break that handles a SSW to SW swell, and that’s exactly what’s coming. The water’s sitting at 78°, which is about normal for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

Saturday 15th sets the tone: a chunky 8 ft SSW groundswell with a 17-second period – that’s proper long-period energy, perfect for a point or reef setup like this. The southeast wind is blowing 12 mph and it’s offshore, keeping the face clean. The combined swell energy is strong at 3202 (moderate to strong), so there’s plenty of push. This is solid, powerful surf that’s only for experienced surfers – beginners, stay on the beach.

Sunday 16th is still firing, with 7 ft SSW (16 seconds) in the morning, easing slightly to 6 ft (15 seconds) in the afternoon. The wind stays offshore and light to moderate, so the waves will be clean and well-shaped. Energy is still strong at 2243 and 1599.

Monday 17th drops a bit to 5 ft (14 seconds) and 5 ft, but it’s still clean with offshore winds. The energy is moderate now (934 and 893), so it’s a good step-down session if the earlier days were too heavy.

Tuesday 18th picks up again: 6 ft (16 seconds) with strong energy (2883 and 2428). Clean offshore conditions persist.

Now, the true standout in this run – the one you’d point your board at – is Wednesday 19th. We’re looking at 8 ft (18 seconds) in the morning and 8 ft (17 seconds) in the afternoon, with a SSW direction that lines up perfectly with this break’s optimum (SW). The combined energy is very strong: 3535 and 4037. Winds are moderate offshore and clean. This is classic Temples at its best – powerful, long-period groundswell at a reef and point. But here’s the thing: with a period over 15 seconds, the sets will be long and the waves will hold their shape. That length between sets can make paddling out easier, but it also means you need to be patient. This is serious, expert-level surf.

Thursday 20th runs close behind: 8 ft (16 seconds), strong energy (3808 and 3411), still offshore, still clean.

Friday 21st through Saturday 22nd sees the swell hold at 6 ft to 8 ft, but the wind ramps up to a fresh 19 mph at times – still offshore, but that breeze will put a bit of texture on the surface. Energy remains moderate to strong (2391 to 2636).

Sunday 23rd through Tuesday 25th drops into the 4 ft to 6 ft range, with moderate energy. Winds are lighter and clean, so if the bigger days were too much, this is the window for a more relaxed session.

Wednesday 26th is a bit of a letdown – swell around 4 ft to 5 ft, and the wind turns cross-offshore in the afternoon, so it’s not as clean. Energy drops to 959.

Then, look out for Thursday 27th. The morning starts small (4 ft) but with a very long 20-second period – that’s special juice for a point break. Energy is moderate at 1478. By the afternoon, it jumps to 6 ft (19 seconds) and a strong 2882, with clean offshore winds. This is another solid window.

Friday 28th keeps it tidy: 8 ft (16 seconds) in the morning, dropping to 7 ft (16 seconds) in the afternoon, with gentle offshore winds – clean as a whistle. Energy is strong (2827 and 2392).

Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th taper off a bit, but still offer decent 5 ft to 7 ft waves from the SW, with moderate energy.

Bottom line: Temples (reef and point) is the only break on offer, and it’s a ripper. The standouts are Wednesday 19th and Thursday 27th afternoon – both have that combination of big, long-period groundswell, the right direction, and clean offshore wind. That’s where you want to be. Crowds can be an issue here (it says “sometimes”), and for good reason – it’s a quality wave. Be prepared to share it.

The first week has the biggest, cleanest surf. Into the second week, it’s still pumping but with a bit more wind and smaller days. Either way, there’s no dry spell across this 16-day window.

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.
