The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. Rusty here, and I’m looking at what’s on the table for the next couple weeks.
Right now, we’re staring at a long dry spell. There’s basically nothing happening from now until the 16th of September. A solid two weeks of flat or near-flat conditions. Tiny little bumps, short period, zero energy – you’d be wasting your time.
Things finally flicker to life around the 17th of September. That Thursday morning, a small groundswell pushes in from the NNE at about 2 ft, with a period of 12 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 133. The wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping the surface clean. By the afternoon, it bumps up a hair to about 2 ft, still from the NNE, with energy at 158 (moderate). It’s not big, but it’s surfable for the first time in ages.
The best bet in this whole outlook is Bridges. This is a sheltered point break, and that NNE swell direction works nicely, matching up well with the optimum NW angle. The water temp is about 86°, which is roughly 2° warmer than average for this time of year – it’s gonna feel like a warm bath. Now, Bridges is inconsistent and doesn’t always fire, but when it gets a little pulse of clean, long-period groundswell, it can offer a decent wave for intermediate surfers. Crowds can show up sometimes, so don’t expect solitude.
After that, on Friday the 18th of September, the morning drops to a glassy 1 ft, with a nice 13-second period and light offshore wind. The energy is still moderate at 105. It’s clean, but small. The afternoon stays glassy with 1 ft and energy of 139. It’s still ordinary, but a glassy point break with a little long-period swell is worth a look if you’re desperate.
So, bottom line: don’t even think about it until the 17th. Your only real windows are Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th. Not a classic run, but after two weeks of nothing, it’s something.
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.
