The Lowdown

Alright, boys and girls. Let's talk about what's on the menu for Blue Bowls. This is a reef break that's consistent and exposed, and it's been getting a solid run of swell from the southeast and south-southwest. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.

Right now, we're in a bit of a lull. Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th are looking pretty average to poor. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is short-period junk. The combined energy is moderate, but the conditions are just not there. You're better off waiting.

Thursday and Friday offer a glimmer of hope. The swell direction shifts to the SSW, and we get a proper long-period groundswell at 16 seconds, pushing 3ft to 4ft. The combined energy builds nicely. The winds are light, but they're still cross-onshore. It's marginal, but there's a chance of a clean-up set if you're desperate. The best bet in this early stretch is Friday afternoon, when the score is the highest it's been all week. The swell is 4ft from the SSW, period 16 seconds, and the combined energy is strong. The wind is light cross-onshore, leaving small ripples. It's not glassy, but it's the best of a messy bunch.

Then the weekend gets blown out. Saturday the 1st of August and Sunday the 2nd are a write-off with fresh to moderate cross-onshore winds and lumpy, choppy surf. The energy drops to moderate. Don't bother.

The next week, from the 3rd to the 7th, is a slow grind. The swell holds around 3ft to 4ft from the SSW, with a decent period, but the wind is persistently cross-onshore. The combined energy is moderate to strong, but the conditions are just poor or marginal. A few windows might open up on Monday morning, the 3rd, with the wind going onshore but light, but the surf is still questionable.

Now, here's where it gets interesting. The real standout is shaping up for the second week. On Saturday the 8th of August, the swell jumps to 5ft from the S, with a very long period of 19 seconds. The combined energy surges to strong. But the wind is still a moderate cross-onshore, keeping it messy. The real jewel is Sunday the 9th. The swell hits 6ft from the S, with an 18-second period, and the combined energy is absolutely pumping at very strong. The wind is moderate cross-onshore, so it's not perfect, but with that much power and that long period, there will be some bombs. This is a proper groundswell – long gaps between sets, and the reef will handle it well. It's going to be a big, powerful wave, and for experienced surfers only. This is the best on offer.

Finally, Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th keep the energy high. The swell is 8ft from the SSE, with a 16-second period, and the combined energy is over 9800. The wind finally drops to light and variable, turning cross-onshore to onshore. Monday afternoon has a light breeze, leaving small ripples. Tuesday morning has a slight air, and the wind is cross-onshore, but it's the cleanest we've seen in a while. These days are also for experts only – that's a lot of water moving.

So, the standout is Sunday the 9th through Tuesday the 11th of August. The swell is big, the period is long, and the energy is massive. It's a groundswell event for the experienced crew. For the rest of us, the best of the early week is Friday afternoon, the 31st of July, for a small, clean-ish wave.

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.
