The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for the next couple weeks at Bridges.
Straight up, this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is pretty flat. We’re looking at tiny swell, mostly around 0.7 ft to 2 ft, and it’s coming from the NNE or NE. The water temp is sitting at 86°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least a dip won’t be a shock.
Honestly, there’s no real standout session here. The combined swell energy stays weak, never cracking three digits, maxing out at just 69 (weak energy). The wind is mostly cross-off from the ENE, which keeps the surface clean, but with no size and no power, it’s just not doing anything for a surfboard. The period is all over the place – some 5 second junk, a few 12-15 second groundswell pulses later in the run (like around September 16th-18th), but with the swell height barely registering, those long periods just mean long waits for tiny, weak waves. It’s a point break setup and inconsistent here normally, so this kind of blank run, while frustrating, isn’t a total surprise.
For the first week (September 7th to 14th), it’s all “poor surf conditions” – forget about it. The second week isn’t any better. Even the glassy mornings on September 20th and 21st, with the calm wind, will give you nothing but a millpond. There is no day where the conditions come together to make a wave worth paddling for. If you absolutely need to get wet, you’re looking at a lake, not a break.
Forget your shortboard. This setup, with the tiny, weak swell and constant cross-off wind from the ENE, looks far more interesting for a kite than a paddle. I’d hang the wettie up for a while.

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.
