The Lowdown
Alright lads, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks for Blue Bowls.
We've got a slow start before the real deal shows up. There's a bit of small stuff to tinker with late on Thursday, but the main event is the weekend of August 29th and 30th. A solid groundswell is on its way, and the water temp is a balmy 30°, about par for the course.
The no-brainer, best session is Saturday, August 30th. A proper SSW groundswell is pumping in at 7ft in the morning, building to 8ft by the afternoon. The energy in the water is absolutely pumping, clocking in at 3291 and then 3564. The wind is light and glassy on the face, so you're looking at clean, well-shaped sets all day. If you can only manage one session this entire stretch, make it this one.
Sunday, September 1st, is another good look. The surf drops a bit to a still-fun 5ft to 6ft from the SSW, and the Tuesday afternoon session is pure glass. With the swell period hanging at 15 seconds, the waves will have some real juice. Just be aware that crowds are possible at Blue Bowls, and with the height pushing 6ft, this is one for the experienced crew.
The first week of September sees the swell ease off. The 4th, 5th, and 6th offer some beautiful conditions with near-calm winds. The waves hang around 5ft to 6ft from the SSE, but the tide and smaller nature of the swell mean you've got to pick your moment. The glassy windows on the 4th afternoon and all day on the 5th are your best bets for a quieter session without the crowd. The second week loses steam. The 9th and 10th of September bring a new but weak, long-period groundswell. The size is tiny at 2ft to 3ft, and with crosswinds churning things up, there's very little to get excited about.
Bottom line: the 30th of August is the one to circle. The early days of September are a good fallback for clean, smaller waves. After that, the window closes.
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.
