The Lowdown
Right, folks, let’s look at what’s on the cards for Blue Bowls. This is a reef break, exposed to the swell, and it’s consistent. The first couple of days are the real deal, but after that, it gets a bit ordinary for a while.
The action kicks off on Tuesday morning, the 1st of September. We’ve got a solid SSW groundswell pushing in, around 6 ft, with a long 15-second period. The wind is glassy, just a whisper from the west at 3 mph. The water temp is about average for the time of year. The combined energy is pumping at 1461 (moderate to strong), and it’s holding up into the afternoon. This is top-notch stuff for experienced surfers. The swell is a bit over 5 ft, so it’s not for beginners, and the 15-second period means it’ll be powerful and well-defined. This is the standout window.
Wednesday the 2nd still has size, with 7 ft and 7 ft from the south, but the wind shifts onshore from the SE at 9 mph. The quality drops. The wave comment says it’s marginal, and the energy is still high at 1782, but that wind is going to mess it up. Thursday and Friday see the swell drop and the wind stay onshore, making for choppy, uninviting conditions. Saturday the 5th is similar, with 5 ft and cross-onshore wind.
From Sunday the 6th right through to the middle of the month, the surf is mostly poor. There’s a lot of small, windy, or messy swell. The scores are low, and the wave comments are either “poor” or “marginal” with questionable conditions. It’s a real flat spell for over a week.
There is a flicker of something interesting around the 11th of September. Friday the 11th sees a SSW groundswell building again, with 6 ft and a 17-second period in the afternoon. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it could be clean. The energy is very strong at 1966, but the wave comment is still “marginal,” so it’s not a guaranteed winner, just a possibility. The 12th and 13th still have some size, but the wind turns more onshore, so it’s not a slam dunk.
To be honest, the real standout is definitely Tuesday the 1st with those glassy conditions and a powerful groundswell. After that, it’s a waiting game until the second week, where there’s a hint of a return to form around the 11th, but it’s less certain. For the rest of the time, you’re better off doing something else.

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.
