Table - best surf conditions forecast for Blue Bowls over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, checking out Blue Bowls for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a slow start, with the first proper surf showing up Monday the 13th, but it’s nothing to get too excited about. The early part of the week is a bit flat, with cross-off winds keeping it tidy but the swell is just okay. The water’s about 86°, so pretty standard for this time of year.
The real standout is the final stretch. From Sunday the 26th of July, things go off. We’ve got a solid groundswell from the SSW with a super long period of 18 seconds, and the combined energy is strong (1112). The wind is glassy – dead calm in the morning – and Blue Bowls is a consistent reef that loves the SE swell direction. The swell is running about 3ft, which is perfect for intermediate surfers. That long period will make the waves peel down the reef with real shape, and the sets will have good gaps. Crowds can show up sometimes, but with conditions this clean, it’s the place to be.
Monday the 27th keeps the good times rolling with more glassy conditions and a solid 4ft SSW swell (combined energy 1055), still with that long period. It’s excellent for anyone who knows what they’re doing. The first part of the week is a bit of a dud – onshore winds and short-period chop – so just hang tight. The real magic is on that last weekend and Monday.
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.
