The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. I gotta be straight with ya – it's gonna be a quiet stretch for quite a while. We're looking at a long, long run of tiny, weak pulses at Bridges, and nothing close to what we'd call a proper surf window for the next couple of weeks.
For starters, from Saturday the 18th right through until the end of the month, it's all tiny stuff. We're talking about ankle-snappers, with the biggest morning swells barely nudging 3ft from the NE. The combined energy is weak, reading between 14 and 77 (weak). The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is about normal for this time of year. The wind is mostly cross-off or glassy, and there are plenty of glassy mornings, like Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd, but the swell is just too small to push any decent, rideable waves. It's frustrating because the conditions are clean, but there's no power behind 'em. This spot is a point break that's already inconsistent, and a run like this is pretty normal for the area when the swell just doesn't line up.
We finally see a couple of tiny pulses in early August. Saturday the 1st morning has 2ft from the NE with a period of 5 seconds, but the energy is still only 21 (weak). Then Sunday the 2nd morning is 0.7ft from the N. Honestly, there's nothing in this whole 16-day forecast that I'd paddle out for. It's a true blank run.
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.
