Table - best surf conditions forecast for Blue Bowls over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour. This is Rusty, and here’s the word on Blue Bowls.
We’ve got a solid run of clean, fun reef waves to start, then it gets a bit rough. Let’s run through it.
Thursday the 9th of July kicks things off right. Morning has a risk of thunderstorms, but the wind is light offshore from the north at only 3 mph. The swell is a nice 4ft out of the SSW, with a long period of 14 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The combined energy is a solid 750, which is moderate but punchy. Water temp is about 86°, which is normal for this time of year. The afternoon is clear, wind goes cross-off from the NW, still light. It’s a great day.
Friday the 10th the swell drops to about 3ft, still from the SSW and S, with a 13-second period. Wind is light and cross-off. Clean, but less power.
Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th the swell picks back up to 4ft to 5ft, coming from the S and SSE, with periods of 11 to 12 seconds. Winds stay light and cross-off. Sunday afternoon is a little better, with the swell hitting 5ft and the energy jumping to 601. Clean and fun.
Monday the 13th through Wednesday the 15th gets average. Swell is still 4ft to 5ft, but the wind turns cross-shore and then cross-onshore. Energy is moderate (815 to 931), but the wind chop will mess up the face. Waves are there, but not clean.
Thursday the 16th of July is a standout. The morning is glassy – dead calm, wind from the SSW at just 3 mph. The swell is 4ft from the SSW, 14-second period, with a combined energy of 787. That’s a recipe for a ridiculously clean session at Blue Bowls. This is the one to aim for. The afternoon gets a little cross-on, so get in early.
From Friday the 17th onward, it’s a downhill slide. The wind swings onshore from the S and SSE, picking up to 12-15 mph. The swell is there, but it’s messy. The period drops and the waves get choppy. There’s a pulse later on Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd with some very long-period swell (17 to 20 seconds) and strong energy (up to 1377), but the onshore wind will ruin it. This is more of a kite surfing setup than a paddle one. The wave quality is poor.
The standout is Thursday the 9th and Thursday the 16th of July. The 9th kicks things off clean, and the 16th is glassy with a nice long-period swell. Crowds are possible at Blue Bowls, but if you’re early, you’ll have a great time.
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.
