The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the table.
At Blue Bowls, it’s a slow start, but don’t lose hope. The water temp is 30°, pretty standard for the season.
Things begin on Wednesday the 26th of August. A 1.3m SSW swell with a 14-second period – that’s a groundswell. Combined energy is 1170 (moderate), but the wind is onshore from the SSE at 15 km/h. Conditions are marginal. That vibe sticks around through Thursday and Friday the 28th, with the swell dropping to 1.0m and winds turning cross-onshore. Not worth getting wet.
Saturday the 29th shows a 1.2m to 1.6m SSW swell, but the period jumps to a very long 19 seconds. Energy hits 1302 and then 1976 (moderate to strong). Still, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore.
Sunday the 30th of August is where the first real offering shows up. A 2.2m to 2.4m SSW swell with an 18-second period – serious groundswell. Energy is at 3254 and 3547 (strong to very strong). The wind is light onshore from the SSE at 10 km/h. For a reef break, that long period will mean powerful, clean lines. At over 2.5m in the afternoon, this is expert territory only. This is the standout of the first week.
Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September hang on with 2.0m to 1.7m SSW swells and light onshore winds, but still marginal.
Now for the best. Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th of September. The swell drops to 2.0m to 1.8m from the SSE, with a 10-second period. The wind goes glassy – flat calm. That means perfect, clean conditions. Energy is lower (882 to 650 – moderate), but the quality is excellent. Crowds are possible, but glassy conditions make it worth it.
The surf fades from Sunday the 6th through Monday the 7th, with 1.5m to 1.2m and light onshore to cross-onshore winds. Nothing doing.
Then, another pulse. Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th bring a 1.2m to 1.3m SSW groundswell with a 16-17 second period. Energy is moderate (1044 to 1149). Winds are onshore or cross-onshore, so still marginal.
Then, Thursday the 10th of September. Morning shows 1.7m SSW swell with a 16-second period, glassy wind, and energy at 2357 (strong). The afternoon goes to 2.1m from the SSW, a very long 19-second period, glassy conditions, and energy at 3299 (very strong). Conditions are rated “excellent for experienced surfers.” That’s your absolute standout for the whole 16-day stretch.
So, to sum it up: first standout is Sunday the 30th of August for the big groundswell, and the best of the whole run is Thursday the 10th of September with glassy conditions and a powerful, clean groundswell.
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.
