Table - best surf conditions forecast for Bridges over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – the next 16 days at Bridges (point) are a tough watch. The swell is barely flickering, and the conditions are just not cooperating. It’s a real bummer, because this place can be a gem when it lines up. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf, with a few tiny pulses that might get the heart rate up for a moment, but nothing that’s worth paddling out for. The water is sitting at a warm 84°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing if you do decide to sit out there.
The first real week is a write-off. From Sunday the 12th right through to Saturday the 18th, we’ve got swell heights that barely hit 1 ft, with winds mostly cross-off from the NE or ENE. The energy is pathetic – we’re talking single-digit numbers in the wave energy department, like a measly 9 on Sunday morning. It’s flat, it’s weak, and it’s frustrating. Friday the 17th morning has a bit of glass, but with only 1 ft of 5-second chop from the NE, it’s just a lake. Even the 19th of July (Sunday) shows a little bump, but the afternoon only gets to 4 ft from the NE with a 7-second period and a moderate breeze. It’s not surfable, just messy.
The second week doesn’t offer any salvation. We’ve got days like Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd that are completely flat – zero energy. The 22nd of July morning has a glassy surface, but it’s on 2 ft of 5-second windswell, which is just not enough. There’s a tiny nudge on the 27th of July (Monday) with 2 ft from the NE and a 9-second period, but the energy is still only 38, and the wind is cross-off again. This place is inconsistent, and this forecast proves it. For a sheltered point that needs a good NW swell, this is a total drought. Unless you’re a kite surfer looking for a flat-water session, there’s nothing here for a paddler.
Stay patient, folks. The surf will come back.

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.
