Temples is the southernmost section of the Uluwatu complex, named for its proximity to the Pura Luhur Uluwatu temple perched on the cliffs above.
A very shallow, intense left that breaks over barely submerged coral. The wave produces some of the heaviest barrels in the Uluwatu area but with maximum consequence - the reef here is the shallowest of all the sections. Expert barrel riders only.
Dry season (April-October) with solid SW swells. Mid to high tide only. At low tide the reef is fully exposed. SE trade winds.
Through the Uluwatu cave, then paddle south past Racetrack.
