The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here, lookin' at the next stretch for Blue Bowls. Let's get into it.

We're starting off on Wednesday the 12th, but it's a bit of a write-off with a storm risk and a weak, onshore SSE wind bumping into a small 6ft swell. The energy's pretty modest at 769, and the water's sitting at a warm 85°, which is pretty average for this time of year. No real reason to get wet.

Now, Thursday the 13th is the real standout. Thursday morning, the wind drops to absolutely nothing – glassy conditions. We've got a clean 5ft SSE swell rolling in, with the energy a bit stronger at 727. The break is a reef, so it'll handle that swell nicely. The optimum direction is SE, and we're close enough to that with the SSE. This is your window. It's a consistent spot, so you won't be waiting around forever. Just keep in mind it can get a bit crowded sometimes, so get in early.

The rest of the first week, from Thursday afternoon through the weekend, is a bit of a letdown. The wind swings around to the cross and cross-on, the swell drops down to 4ft or so, and the energy fades. The Friday afternoon session is a write-off, and Saturday looks pretty poor. We're in a bit of a dry spell.

Now, here's where it gets interesting again. Come Monday the 17th, we see a real spike in energy. The combined energy jumps to 2438, and the swell is 5ft from the SSW with a long 20-second period. That's proper groundswell energy. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it won't be perfect, but the power is there. This burst of energy lasts through Tuesday the 18th, with the swell holding at 6ft and the energy peaking at 3042. That's a lot of water moving around. It's likely too big for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it'll be a proper session. By Wednesday the 19th, the energy starts to drop back, but it's still a solid 5ft with a 16-second period.

The second week, from Thursday the 20th onward, things get a bit messy. The wind is consistently cross-onshore, the swell sizes drop, and the energy levels fall off. We get a little bump in energy on the 24th from a storm system, but the wind is onshore and it's a risk of thunderstorms, so it's not worth chasing.

So, the call is clear. Your best bet is Thursday morning, August 13th at Blue Bowls. Glassy conditions, a clean 5ft SSE swell, moderate energy. That's the one. Then keep an eye on Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th for a powerful, long-period groundswell that'll light up the reef, though it won't be as clean. The rest is just waiting for the next pulse.

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.

Blue Bowls is 102 km (63 miles) from the city of Gan. If you plan a holiday in Huvadhoo Atoll, look for hotels and other accommodation in Gan. Gan has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
