The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with ya – the next 16 days at Bridges is a proper write-off. There's nothing to get excited about, not a single wave worth paddling for. The whole stretch from July 20th through to August 4th is a flat spell with no real swell energy. The combined energy readings barely tickle the metre, with the highest being just 77 (weak energy) on the morning of July 25, and even that's only 3ft of short-period junk. Most days are a big fat zero.
You'll get a few tiny bumps here and there, like the morning of July 22 with a 2ft, 6-second pulse from the NNE, but it's still labelled "poor surf conditions." The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least a dip won't shock you, but there's no surf to enjoy in it.
The best the whole period offers is the morning of July 25, with that 3ft, 8-second swell from the NE. Cross-off winds from the ENE at 12 mph keep it clean, but it's still a dribbler. The morning of July 26 is similar with 3ft, 7-second NE swell, and the afternoon actually goes glassy from the ESE, but again, it's tiny. Nothing here is a standout. For a sheltered point like Bridges that needs a good NW swell direction, this tiny NE and NNE stuff is just not doing the job.
Honestly, for a break that's already inconsistent, this blank run is pretty normal. The forecasts can always change, but right now, leave the board in the shed.
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.
