The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks.
We’re staring down a pretty flat period, no way around it. The first real surf doesn’t show up for ages, and even then it’s nothing to write home about. The whole 16-day window is a tough one, with big gaps of nothing.
The only spot with any potential is Bridges. It’s a point break that needs a north-west swell, and it’s inconsistent, so we’re already up against it. From Tuesday the 4th through the end of the first week, it’s dead flat. Tiny, weak swells, mostly under 2 ft, with periods so short they’re just wind chop. The combined energy is in the low double digits and single digits – total flatness. Winds are a cross-off breeze, but with nothing to ride, it doesn’t matter.
We see a tiny bump on Thursday the 6th afternoon, with a 2 ft swell from the NE at 7 seconds, but that’s still knee-high slop. The energy is only 49 (weak). Saturday the 8th afternoon shows a 3 ft NE swell, but again, short period (6 seconds) and an energy of just 87 (weak). You’d be better off on the beach.
The only real chance comes on the weekend of the 15th and 16th of August. Saturday morning shows a 3 ft NE swell with a 7-second period, and the energy gets to 118 (moderate). By Saturday afternoon, we’ve got 4 ft from the NE at 6 seconds, with energy at 146 (moderate). That’s the biggest swell of the whole outlook. But the wind is a cross-off from the ENE at 22 mph, which will mess up the surface. The period is short, so it’ll be lumpy and messy. For a point break, this setup looks more like a kite session than a paddle session, given the wind strength. If you’re really keen, it’s the only pulse of size in the whole window.
After that, it drops back to nothing. The only thing of note is a long-period (12 seconds) but tiny 0.3 ft swell on Sunday the 16th afternoon – just a ripple.
So, the honest truth: there’s no standout session. The best bet is that Saturday afternoon, August 15th, with the 4 ft swell, but it’s wind-affected and short-period. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
Stay patient, folks. It’s a dry spell.
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.
