The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, breaking down the surf for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got one spot that’s the whole show: Temples. It’s a reef and point, so it handles the swell we’re getting. Water temp is about 79°, which is normal for the season.
The action starts Saturday, August 1st, and it doesn’t really let up. We have a consistent SSW groundswell running. The first few days are chest to head high, about 5 to 7 feet, with a very long period of 16 to 18 seconds. That’s real energy. The combined energy is in the 1400 to 2400 range (moderate to strong wave energy). The wind is ESE, blowing offshore, keeping the waves clean. This is excellent for experienced surfers, and it can get a little busy, but it’s worth it.
The standout is that first weekend, especially the Monday the 3rd, when the wind drops and you get some glassy, clean conditions.
As we get to the 5th and 6th, the swell bumps up to nearly 7 feet, but the wind gets stronger. Still offshore, but at 25 km/h (15 mph), it’s going to be a bit bumpy. Still good for the advanced guys.
Then, look at the 10th of August. That’s the big one. A 12 foot SSW swell with a 20-second period, and the combined energy hits 9288 (very strong wave energy). That’s a serious, heavy ocean. The wind is cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but at that size, it’s experts only. It’s a major standout, but it’s over a week out.
The 11th and 12th stay big, around 11 feet, with cross-off wind. The last few days, from the 13th to the 16th, drop back to a more manageable 5 to 7 feet, with clean offshore mornings returning.
For the advanced surfer, hit the first few days and that big Monday the 10th. For the rest, aim for the smaller, cleaner mornings in the first week.
This is Rusty, out.

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.
