The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s cooking for our stretch of coast. Got to be honest with you—this 16-day window is flat and lifeless. There’s nothing worth paddling out for, not a single decent wave in sight. We’re looking at a long dry spell, so don’t rush to wax up.
The only break on the map is Bridges, a sheltered point that needs swell from the NW. Problem is, that NW swell is a no-show. Water temp is around 84°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
From Tuesday, August 18th all the way to Wednesday, September 2nd, every single session is a bust. The biggest bump we see is on Thursday afternoon the 20th with a tiny 0.9m (that’s about 3 ft) swell from the NE, but the combined energy is a weak 76, and the period is a short 6 seconds. That’s barely a ripple. Wind is mostly cross-off or cross, but with waves that small, it doesn't help a bit. There’s a glassy morning on Wednesday the 19th with a 0.2m (less than 1 ft) swell, but you’d generate more wake in a kiddie pool.
This whole stretch is empty. No standout days, no hope. Bridges is inconsistent at the best of times, and right now it’s just not breaking. For an intermediate spot, it’s a hard pass.
If you’re itching for a session, keep an eye on the long-range models, but for now, it’s a total flat spell. Rusty out.

Information about the Bridges Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Bridges provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Bridges can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Bridges 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 (Bridges) 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 Bridges 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.
