The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's happening at Blue Bowls over the next couple of weeks.
We've got a bit of a slow start, but things are shaping up to have a couple of pretty solid moments. The water is sitting at 86° right now, which is a touch above the long-term average for this time of year – pretty pleasant for a paddle out.
It’s quiet to kick things off. The first couple of days, Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th, are mainly small and not looking great. The wind is blowing onshore or generally messy, so you’re looking at tiny, wind-affected lines. Not worth the drive.
Thursday the 10th sees the energy start to pick up a bit, with a combined swell energy hitting 1599 (moderate to strong). You’ll have some 5 ft swell coming from the SSW, but it’s got a cross-onshore breeze on it, which is putting that light cross-chop on the face. It’s rideable, but it’s not clean.
The first real standout window arrives on the morning of Wednesday the 16th. This is the one to circle on your calendar. The wind goes glassy – dead calm – and you’ve got a solid 5 ft groundswell from the SSW, with a period of 16 seconds. That long period means it’s got real power and shape, especially for a reef like Blue Bowls. The combined energy is a strong 1205 (moderate to strong). This is excellent surf for the experienced crew. The conditions will be pristine, and that offshore wind direction (NNW is the optimum) lines up well with this SSE swell direction. Just keep in mind, it's a consistent spot but it can get a crowd, so get out there early.
After that, the surf starts to drop off and the wind turns a bit sloppy again for the tail end of the second week. There’s a bit of size around Saturday the 20th, with 6 ft to 7 ft swell, but the wind is blowing onshore hard at 25 km/h (16 mph), making it a messy, choppy mess. That combo of significant swell and strong onshore wind at a reef setup might actually look more interesting for the kite crew than us paddle surfers. The energy is high, with a reading of 2114 (strong) on the Sunday afternoon, but conditions are poor.
Overall, the run of surf is a bit inconsistent. There are some days of small, weak swell (with energy dipping to 319 on the 22nd) and onshore winds. But that glassy Wednesday the 16th is the real gem. Get it while it’s good.

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.
