The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking for the coming weeks.
Right off the bat, it's a bit of a slow start. The first few days have some swell, but the wind and weather are messy. We're looking at a bit of a wait before things really clean up. The first real standout doesn't come until mid-week.
The best bet on the table is Blue Bowls on Wednesday the 16th. We've got a solid 4ft swell from the SSW with a 16-second period. That's a proper groundswell, and with a light WNW cross-offshore breeze, it's going to be glassy clean. The energy is moderate to strong (1181), so there'll be some push behind it. For an intermediate surfer, this is where you want to be. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year.
Thursday the 17th sees the wind swing onshore, dropping the quality. Friday the 18th gets a bit bigger, 5ft to 5ft, but with straight onshore wind from the south, it'll be a messy, blown-out mess. The energy jumps up (1549-1694), but it's not worth paddling into that chop.
There’s a big lull from the 21st through to the 23rd. The wind is up, the swell drops off, and the period gets short. The scores reflect it – it's just poor.
Now, looking further out, things get interesting again. The real hidden gem of the forecast is Sunday the 27th. After a week of nothing special, we get a sweet little window. The morning sees a 4ft SSW swell with a long 18-second period, combined with light variable wind. That's a recipe for clean lines. Then the afternoon is even better: the wind swings to a light NE cross-offshore, keeping it clean with that same 4ft of swell. The energy is strong (1399). This is for the experienced crew, and with that long period it'll be a bit better on the point than a beach break. This is the one to circle on your calendar.
Monday the 28th keeps the good wind with smaller, but clean, waves for a fun session.
So to wrap it up: the start is average, but Wednesday the 16th is good, and the real gem is Sunday the 27th. Don't waste your time on the blown-out days in between.
Rusty.

Information about the Blue Bowls Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Blue Bowls provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Blue Bowls can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Blue Bowls 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 (Blue Bowls) 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 Blue Bowls 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.
