The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s break this down in feet and knots for you.
We’re looking at Blue Bowls, a consistent reef break. It’s going to start a bit slow.
Kicking off Wednesday the 22nd of July, we’ve got a 5ft SSE swell with a light onshore breeze making things messy. Water temp is a warm 86°F, pretty normal for the season. Wave energy is weak (538).
Thursday afternoon the 23rd is where it starts to get good. The swell holds at 5ft from the SSE, but a light cross-offshore breeze from the NE at only 3 knots will clean things right up. Expect fun, lined-up waves. Combined energy is a solid moderate (714).
Friday the 24th drops to a 3ft SSW groundswell with a long 13-second interval. It’s clean with a light offshore wind from the north. That long period will make the reef work, but it’s a smaller day.
Now, Saturday the 25th is your standout. We’ve got a 5ft SE swell, a 10-second period, and almost glassy conditions with a NE breeze at just 3 knots. The energy is (718), and it’s going to be clean. Crowds are possible here, but you’ll want to be out there.
Sunday the 26th through Monday the 27th are back to marginal with onshore winds, even though the swell is still around 5ft.
From Tuesday the 28th, the energy jumps up, but the wind turns onshore. That 2ft SSW swell on Tuesday afternoon has a very long 21-second period and a strong (1021) energy reading, but the wind ruins it.
The whole second week, from the end of July into August, is a write-off for clean surf. There’s swell, like that 6ft SE swell on Sunday the 2nd of August with a (1290) energy reading, but the wind is always onshore or cross-onshore. No standouts there.
Bottom line: Saturday morning the 25th of July is your best chance for clean waves. Don’t miss it.

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.
