The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’re looking at a pretty quiet stretch at Bridges – a point break that’s inconsistent and needs a specific swell to really wake up. The water’s sitting at 84°, which is about normal for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The pattern starts off with barely a ripple. Tuesday morning, July 21st, has a tiny 0.3ft N swell and a cross-off NE breeze at 16 mph – real weak wave energy (1), and the wave comment says it’s poor. That’s the story for the next few days: through Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and into the weekend, swell heights stay under 3ft, mostly from the NE, with periods between 6 and 8 seconds. The combined energy climbs from 32 up to 82 by Saturday morning, July 25th, but it’s still small and won’t give you much to work with. Winds are mostly cross-off, which keeps it clean, but the wave size is just too small for a proper session.
We’ve got a bit of a gap after that – Sunday, July 26th, through to Tuesday, July 29th, sees the same story: small NE swells, 1ft to 3ft, with periods of 5 to 7 seconds. The energy peaks at 86 on Wednesday afternoon, July 29th, but that’s still a weak to moderate pulse (86). The wave comment stays “poor surf conditions” all the way through. For a break that’s already inconsistent, this is a real flat spell.
The only faint glimmer comes on Thursday, July 30th, morning – a 2ft NE swell with an 8-second period, ENE cross-off at 9 mph, and energy of 33. Still tiny, but it’s the best we’ve seen. The rest of the 16-day window into early August shows nothing above 4ft, with the biggest pulse on Wednesday, August 5th, afternoon – 4ft NE swell, 6-second period, ENE cross-off at 16 mph, and energy of 98. That’s the most energy in the whole run, but it’s a short-period, weak swell, and the wave comment still says poor. For a sheltered point that needs a proper NW swell (optimum direction), the NE wind and swell direction just aren’t lining up.
So, honestly, there’s no standout session here. The whole 16-day outlook is a dud for surfing – tiny waves, short periods, and the wrong direction. If you’re desperate, maybe the Wednesday afternoon, August 5th, with 4ft and a bit of energy, but it’s not going to be worth the paddle. For a spot that’s inconsistent, a flat run like this is more normal than not. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, leave the boards at home.
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.
