The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the breakdown, and it’s a tough one to call. The 16-day forecast is mostly a write-off. The first flicker of life we see doesn't come until Thursday the 13th of August. Before that, from Monday the 10th through Wednesday the 12th, it’s nothing but tiny, weak junk that’s not worth the drive.
So, Thursday the 13th of August afternoon is the only thing close to a soft opener. Bridges, a sheltered point, will see a bit of energy pick up (151). That’s offering waves around 4ft from the NE, with a short period and a cross-offshore breeze from the East. It’s surfable, but it’s average at best. The water temp is about 84°F, which is pretty standard for this time of year. Don’t clear your calendar.
The following week is still a struggle. Saturday the 15th of August afternoon swings up to around 7ft from the NE, but with a short 6-second period and a strong cross-offshore wind (25 mph). That energy jumps to 360, meaning there's plenty of water moving, but it’s going to be sloppy and difficult. For a spot that’s inconsistent and can get crowded, it’s a pass. That size is for experienced surfers only.
We get a short window of glassy conditions on Tuesday morning the 18th of August, but the swell is a pathetic 0.6ft. After that, it’s a long, flat stretch into late August. Day after day shows combined energy in the single digits or zeros—nothing to write home about. It’s a classic dry spell. This break will come back to life, but for now, the board stays in the car.
Stay patient.

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.
