The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Blue Bowls. It’s a reef break that’s exposed to the swell. The water’s 85°F right now, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The early days are looking pretty rough. Friday the 7th has a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-onshore breeze messing things up. Sunday the 9th is small and weak. We’ve got to wait a bit.
The first real bright spot hits Tuesday morning, August 11th. The wind goes glassy, and we’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the SSE with an 11-second period. The wave energy is strong, with a combined energy of 1163 (moderate-to-strong). It’s described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the highlight of the first week—glassy conditions and 5ft on a reef is going to be solid. The spot does get crowded from time to time.
Then there’s a long stretch of marginal to poor surf that runs all the way to Tuesday the 18th. Not much to get excited about there.
Now, toward the end of the forecast, things get real. Wednesday afternoon, August 19th, brings a 6ft SSW groundswell with a long 16-second period, and the wind is a light cross-offshore at just 5 km/h (3 mph). The wave energy is 1989 (strong). That’s big, clean, and built for the reef. This is your second big standout, and it carries into Thursday morning the 20th with a 5ft SSW swell and the same clean wind. These are prime conditions, but definitely for experienced surfers.
Friday morning the 21st sees the swell drop to 3ft from the south with a 14-second period and clean cross-off winds again—still a good little session for those wanting something smaller.
After that, the swell backs off and the quality goes with it.
In short, Tuesday the 11th is your first go, and Wednesday the 19th afternoon through Thursday the 20th is the real prize. Don’t miss that window.

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.
