Bridges Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks around Bridges.

Honestly, it's a pretty quiet stretch on the horizon. We've got a solid 16-day window but the surf just isn't showing up. For the first week of July, from the 3rd all the way through to the 9th, it's pretty much flat. We're looking at a miserable run of tiny, weak waves – most heights are barely a ripple from 0.3ft to 2ft, and even the biggest push on the 6th is only 3ft. The combined energy is almost nothing, barely hitting 72 in the best of it. It's all cross-off winds too, so nothing clean or organized. Basically, leave the board on the roof for a few days.

The second week doesn't get much better. Around the 10th and 11th we see a slight pulse, with wave heights sneaking up to 4ft and some moderate energy readings of 124 and 102. But it's still coming from the NE and wrapping in with pretty poor form under cross-off breezes. The swell direction is NW here, which is the optimum for this point break, but the swell is just too weak and short-period to do anything exciting. From the 12th to the 16th, it drops right back to near nothing again. You might see a knee-high ripple on the 14th (0.3ft with a longer 11-second period), but it's not going to break properly here.

Water temp is sitting at a balmy 84° for the first session on the 3rd, which is about average for this time of year. No surprises there.

If you're desperate for a splash, the afternoon of July 10th might be your best, and really only, bet – but don't get your hopes up. It's a long wait for a crumbly little NE windswell. This just isn't our time. The setups look pretty boring for everyone, not just surfers. Forecasts can change though, so don't write it off entirely.

That's the picture. Keep the wax in the car, things might turn around.

Rusty.
