The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about what's on the table for the next couple of weeks in the water.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: it's a quiet stretch. We're looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to get excited about for the entire 16-day window. The first recommendation doesn't come until the very end of the period, and even then, it's a whisper, not a roar.
So, for the next couple of weeks, you're better off leaving the boards in the shed. From the 29th of August right through to the 12th of September, it's just one poor surf report after another at Bridges. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2 feet, with short periods and weak combined wave energy—often under 100. The wind is better than the swell, with plenty of offshore and glassy mornings, especially around the 3rd, 5th, 6th, and 7th of September, but there's just no energy in the water to push any kind of wave. It's a shame, because you'd have clean, smooth conditions, but nothing to ride.
The only faint glimmer comes on Sunday the 13th of September. The morning at Bridges (point) shows a tiny 2-foot swell from the NE, with a combined wave energy of just 17. The wind is a light cross-off, so it'll be clean, but the wave size is barely a ripple. The swell direction is from the NE, and the optimum for this spot is NW, so it's not even coming from the best angle. If you're desperate for a paddle, you might get a knee-high wave, but honestly, it's not worth the drive.
Over the whole period, the water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there. But for the most part, it's a flat spell. The combined wave energy never gets past 95, which is weak. The only real standout is the lack of any standout. We'll have to wait for the forecasts to change.
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.
