The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Well, mate, I'm looking at a pretty grim stretch ahead for Bridges. The whole 16-day window is a write-off, honestly. There's nothing on the cards that I'd even point a beginner at, let alone anyone who's keen for a proper wave. The pattern is flat and weak from start to finish.
We start off Thursday the 6th of August with a tiny 2ft swell from the NE, period short at 7 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly 39. The water's a warm 84°, which is about average for this time of year, but that's about the only positive. The wind is a cross-off from the ENE, light at 6 mph, but the surf is just poor. This same sad story pretty much holds through the entire first week and into the second. The swell height never gets above 4ft, and even that only happens on a few occasions, like Thursday the 13th of August afternoon, when the energy bumps up to 142, but the period is still short. The wind is always cross-off, with speeds picking up from a light breeze to a strong breeze by Saturday the 15th of August afternoon, hitting 25 mph. There's a tiny blip on Tuesday the 18th of August afternoon where the wind goes offshore from the ESE at 9 mph, but with a 2ft swell and a period of only 5 seconds, the energy is just 21, so it's still a complete non-event.
Honestly, there's no standout. There's no good surf. The whole 16 days is a gap. The combination of weak, short-period swell and constant cross-off wind means the setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if you're desperate. But for a surf, you'd be better off doing something else. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a big zero.
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.
