The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Blue Bowls. This is a consistent reef break for intermediate surfers, exposed to the swell. There’s a bit of a slow start, so don’t rush out yet.
Monday the 14th has waves around 4ft from the SSW with a long 15-second period, giving moderate energy (877). The wind is blowing offshore from the NW at 12 mph, keeping it clean. Water’s warm at about 86°, which is roughly 2° above normal for this time of year. The morning’s okay, but the afternoon is cross-off and a wash. Tuesday and Wednesday look marginal—swell around 3ft to 4ft, cross-off winds keeping it tidy, but nothing special.
Friday the 18th, the swell hits 6ft from the SSW with a 17-second period, strong energy (1984). But the wind is cross-onshore from the S at 9 mph, making it choppy. That’s expert-only territory—over 5ft is pushing it for beginners, and the wind kills the quality. Saturday the 19th has similar 5ft swell, but still cross-onshore.
Now, the real standout is Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th. Saturday afternoon is glassy—wind from the SSW at just 3 mph, zero chop. Swell is 4ft from the SSW with a very long 20-second period, strong energy (1581). This is groundswell gold for a reef break. The waves will have shape and power, and it’s perfect for intermediates. Sunday morning is glassy again, 4ft from the SSW, period 17 seconds, strong energy (1215). This is the best two-day stretch of the whole forecast. Crowds are possible at this break (“sometimes”), but with conditions this good, it’ll be worth the company.
There’s a lull from Monday the 21st to Thursday the 24th—short period, weak energy, onshore winds. Not worth a paddle. Friday the 25th is marginal.
For the long-range, Monday the 28th and Tuesday the 29th clean up with light offshore winds and glass, but the swell drops to 3ft. Fun for a longboard.
Best bet: Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th at Blue Bowls. Glassy, long-period SSW groundswell, 4ft, strong energy. Get on it.
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.
