The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a long hard look at what's ahead for Bridges.
To be straight with you, this is one of those outlooks where I have to tell you the bad news first. Over the next couple of weeks, we’re looking at a real flat spell. Almost every day through the entire 16-day window is flagged as poor surf conditions, with wave energy readings barely cracking double digits. You'll see lots of days with combined energy below 100 – often in the teens or even single digits (like 46 or 39). That’s weak, weak energy. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, and what little there is comes from the NE, which is not the optimum direction for this sheltered point. This point needs NW swell to really work, and we just aren't getting it.
The first real chance of anything clean comes up on Wednesday morning, 22 July. There’s a glassy window with 2ft from the NNE, but it’s still rated as poor. On Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st, we see a few mornings with 1-2ft from the NE, but the wind is a cross-offshore breeze, so it will look clean even if it's tiny. Still, nothing here is going to get the heart pumping. Honestly, the whole run is so consistently flat that if you’re a surfer, this is just how it goes here sometimes. No standout sessions, no real waves to speak of. If you’re desperate for a paddle on a longboard, maybe those glassy Wednesday conditions are your best bet, but it's not surf.
Water temp at the start of the run is about 84°F, which is a touch warmer than average for July, but nothing crazy.
There’s just no swell on the horizon. For the next couple of weeks, the only action might be for the kite surfers if the breeze picks up, because the waves won't be there for us.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
