The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve stared at this forecast for Bridges and I gotta be straight with you—there’s not a single standout session in the whole 16-day window. The entire run is a flat spell with poor surf conditions. From Sunday the 9th of August all the way through to Monday the 24th of August, every slot scores a zero. That’s a gap of over two weeks with nothing worth paddling out for.
For the first break I’ll mention, Bridges, the water temp is sitting at 85°, which is about average for this time of year—no weird anomaly to get excited about.
The only glimmer comes late in the window. On Wednesday the 19th of August, we’ve got a glassy morning with some light 3 mph winds from the southeast, making it clean. But the swell is a measly 1 ft, period of 5 seconds, and combined energy is just 12. That’s weak energy. The afternoon offers a tiny 0.7 ft from the NNW with 7-second period—gentle cross-shore chop. Not worth it.
Then on Sunday the 23rd of August, we get another glassy slot in the afternoon with ESE 3 mph, but again only 0.3 ft from the NE with 8-second period and combined energy of 4. Barely a ripple.
Bottom line: Bridges is a sheltered point break that’s inconsistent and it’s showing. Optimum swell direction is NW—none of these tiny NE or NNE pulses are doing anything. Don’t bother waxing up. Forecasts can change, but right now this is a total dud.
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.
