G’day, Rusty here. I’m going to be honest—this 16-day stretch looks like a total washout for surf. From the 7th of July all the way to the 22nd, we’ve got nothing but flat, wind-affected junk. There’s a long, frustrating gap here with zero recommendations worth getting out of bed for.
The only spot we’ve got is Bridges, a point break that’s known for being inconsistent, and it’s living up to the name. The water temperature is 84°, a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, but that won’t help the waves.
First up, on Tuesday morning the 7th, you’re looking at a tiny 3ft NE swell with a short 6-second period and weak energy (45). A 25 km/h cross-off wind from the ENE is just chopping it up. Tuesday afternoon? Slightly bigger at 4ft, but still a rip. This pattern holds all week—tiny, short-period slop with moderate to fresh cross-off winds. On Saturday morning the 18th, we get a brief moment of glassy conditions, but the swell is a pathetic 2ft. Clean? Yes. Rideable? Barely.
There are no standouts here. No pulse of swell. No clean, offshore day with size. If you’re a kite surfer, that afternoon breeze on the 15th might get you excited, but for a paddle surfer, this is a write-off. The energy levels are all weak (mostly double or triple digits below 100), and the combined energy only hits moderate a few times, but the quality is always poor.
This happens here sometimes—a flat spell that seems to drag on forever. Forecasts can change, but for now, don’t bother waxing up.
Rusty.

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.
