The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me tell you how it’s shaping up for the Bridges. Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak run for most of this stretch. We’re looking at a solid dead spell right through the first week and a bit, with barely a ripple until we finally see something towards the very end of the window.
From now (Monday the 14th) all the way through to the morning of Saturday the 26th, it’s nothing but tiny slop. We’re talking wave heights mostly between 0.3 ft and 2 ft with combined swell energy often well under 100 (weak), and a lot of days that are just "poor surf conditions." The wind is mostly cross-off or glassy, which would be fine if there was any swell, but there isn’t. You’d be sitting out there on a longboard feeling sorry for yourself. This is a long gap with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for.
Finally, on the morning of Sunday the 27th of September, we get a flicker of life. The swell picks up to 2 ft from the north with an 11-second period, and the combined energy hits 206 (moderate wave energy). The wind is light and cross-off, so it’ll be clean. It’s still described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," so don’t expect perfection.
The real standout, if you can call it that, comes on Monday the 28th of September. The morning shows the best of the bunch: waves around 3 ft from the north with that same 11-second period, pushing the combined energy to 233 (moderate wave energy). Winds are light from the northeast, keeping it cross-off and clean. It’s not big, but after all that flatness, it’s the only time you might get a fun little wave at this sheltered point. Keep in mind the optimum swell is from the northwest, so this north swell is a little off-angle, but it’ll wrap in okay. The spot is inconsistent, so don’t expect a set every minute.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there. Crowds are possible here, so if you’re keen for that Monday morning session, you might have some company.
Honestly, your best bet is to keep an eye on the Monday the 28th morning. Otherwise, it’s a lot of waiting.

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.
