The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a flat spell, with no real surf to get excited about. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and poor conditions, so don’t be surprised if you leave the boards in the car for a while.

We start off on Saturday morning, the 25th of July, at Bridges. It’s a point break, sheltered from the swell, with a tiny 3ft NE swell and a short period of 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is a weak 78, and with a cross-off wind from the ENE at 12 mph, the surf is just poor. The water temperature is 84°, which is about average for this time of year. This sets the tone for the whole period.

The rest of July and into August is a bleak run. Sunday the 26th sees even smaller waves, dropping to 2ft, and the energy falls to 45. Monday the 27th is glassy but flat, with a 1ft swell that’s just not enough. From Tuesday the 28th through to Thursday the 30th, there are multiple days with zero swell, and the combined energy reads 0. A few days in early August, like the 31st of July and the 1st of August, show a slight bump to 3ft-3ft but with a period of only 6 seconds and a weak energy reading (61 and 38), it’s just messy and poor.

The best of a bad lot? Honestly, there isn’t a real standout. If you’re desperate, Monday morning the 27th of July has glassy conditions with a 1ft swell, but it’s still poor. The only other hint of something is Wednesday morning the 5th of August, with a tiny 1ft, 4-second period swell, but again, it’s a no-go. This break is inconsistent, and this run shows exactly why. It’s a blank run that’s more normal for the area, so don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
