Alright, Rusty here—let's break it down in feet. For the next stretch at Bridges, it's mostly flat and quiet. The first real chance comes Sunday morning, July 5th, with a tiny 1.3ft NE swell, short 5-second period, and ENE cross-off wind at 9 mph. Energy is weak at only 13. Later Sunday afternoon, swell bumps to 3ft NE, still 6-second period, with 15 mph cross-off winds, energy up to 63.
Monday July 6th sees a flat morning, then Monday afternoon a 2.6ft NE swell at 6 seconds, energy 45, with risk of thunderstorms. Tuesday July 7th morning is near flat (0.3ft N swell), and Tuesday afternoon hits 3.3ft NE at 6 seconds, energy 74, with fresh 18 mph cross-off winds. Wednesday July 8th morning is flat, then Wednesday afternoon brings the best height: 3.6ft NE at 6 seconds, energy 91, but with moderate rain and 18 mph winds.
After that, Thursday July 9th afternoon and Friday July 10th afternoon both show 3.6ft NE swells at 7 seconds, with moderate energy around 110 and 106, still cross-off winds. Conditions stay clean, but the swell is short and weak.
From Saturday July 11th onward, the swell drops to 0.3ft to 0.7ft with longer periods (10-13 seconds) but almost zero energy. The rest of the run through July 20th is mostly flat or tiny dribbles, with winds often cross-off or cross.
The best pick is Thursday July 9th afternoon or Friday July 10th afternoon, with that 3.6ft NE swell and moderate energy, clean from cross-off winds. But with short period, don't expect power. This point break wants NW swell for optimum—we're getting NE. Honestly, with steady cross-off winds and weak waves, this looks more like a kite session than a paddle surf. Forecasts can change though.

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.
