Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Bribie Island has got cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a bit of a flat spell to start. There's some swell around on Thursday the 9th, but with that strong SSE wind and lumpy conditions, it's pretty much a write-off. The waiting game begins.
We get a tiny glimpse of hope on Saturday the 11th. Saturday afternoon sees the wind swing to a light offshore easterly breeze, cleaning things right up. The swell is small, around 3ft from the ESE with a solid 12-second period. The combined wave energy is moderate (488), so there's some push there. For a beginner spot like Bribie, that's about as good as it gets for a little window. It's inconsistent though, so don't expect non-stop action.
Then it goes quiet again. Through the middle of next week, we're looking at mainly onshore breezes and tiny dribble. The water temp is sitting at 67°, which is a good 4° colder than usual for this time of year, so you'll want a decent spring suit.
The next thing worth circling on the calendar is a week away, on Monday the 20th. The afternoon looks promising. We've got a 4ft SE groundswell rolling in with a 12-second period, combined energy of 439 (moderate), and a light cross-offshore breeze from the SE. That should clean it up nicely for a few fun, slow waves. The swell direction is coming from the optimum for Bribie.
Further out, the models are hinting at a bit more size around Saturday the 18th, but it's going to be shredded by a strong cross-shore wind. For a beach break like Bribie, that's going to be a mess – more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle session.
So, the pick of the bunch? It's a toss-up between Saturday afternoon the 11th for a glassy clean-up of a tiny swell, and Monday the 20th afternoon for a bit more size and better period. For consistency and quality, I'd lean towards Monday the 20th. It's a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but that's your best bet for a legit session.
Rusty.

Information about the Bribie Island Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Bribie Island provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Bribie Island can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Bribie Island 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 (Bribie Island) 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 Bribie Island 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.
Bribie Island is 23 km (14 miles) from Deception Bay. If you plan a holiday in Brisbane, look for hotels and other accommodation in Deception Bay. Deception Bay has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
