Temples is the section of Uluwatu's reef further up from the main Peak area, offering long lefts with fewer surfers than the iconic main break. The wave provides quality walls for carving and the occasional barrel section, with the added benefit of slightly less intensity and competition. At mid-to-high tide, Temples connects with the main Uluwatu sections for extended rides along the cliff-lined reef.
