The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it. We're looking at a long run ahead at Blue Bowls, and honestly, the wait for the good stuff is gonna be a test of patience.
For the next week or so, it’s a pretty tough slog. We've got small, weak swell with wonky wind. The combined energy of all swells here is only showing moderate numbers for the first few days, and the wind is going to mess things up. From Monday, August 24th through most of the following week, we’re looking at poor to marginal conditions. The water temperature is sitting at about 85°F, which is about normal for this time of year—no drama there. It’s just not a time to be rushing out.
The real standout, and it's a beauty, shows up on Sunday, August 30th. This is the one to circle on the calendar. Early in the morning, the wind drops out completely and it goes glassy. The swell jumps to a solid 7 ft from the SSW, with a long period of 18 seconds. The combined energy is way up there – that’s the juice we’ve been waiting for. After days of onshore junk, that glassy surface on a reef setup like Blue Bowls is going to be absolutely pristine. This is only for experienced surfers though; 7 ft on a reef with that much energy isn't for beginners. The direction matches the optimum swell direction perfectly, so expect good, lined-up waves.
Come Monday, August 31st, the swell drops just a touch to around 7 ft to 7 ft, and the wind goes a bit light cross. It'll still be surfable and way better than what came before, but it’s not the magic glassy window we had on Sunday. After that, we slide back into smaller, more marginal surf with the onshore wind creeping back in through the first week of September. By the weekend, it fades further. That Sunday, August 30th, is your shot; it's the clear best wave on offer in this whole outlook.
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.
