The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you, mate. Right now, this forecast window is a real struggle for us around here at Bridges. The numbers don't lie, the swell is just not showing up in any meaningful way for the next 16 days.
We're looking at a long, dry spell. From the start of the period on the 1st of August, right through to the 16th, it’s almost all flat or tiny, gutless waves. The combined swell energy barely climbs above 100 (128 max on the 7th morning) and mostly sits in the weak to moderate range, but the height just isn't there to back it up. Most of the time we’re talking 0.3ft to 3ft from the NE, with periods all over the shop, mostly short (6-9 seconds). That’s not surf, that’s a lake.
The one tiny blip that almost gets interesting is the morning of the 7th of August. The swell tries to push to 3ft from the NE with a period of 9 seconds, giving a combined energy of 128 (moderate). But here’s the kicker – the wind is a cross-off 12 mph from the ENE, which is okay, but definitely not the glass everyone wants. The water temp here is around 84°, which is pretty standard for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Honestly, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddler for most of this run. There are a few glassy mornings on the 6th and 8th of August, but with only 1.0ft to 1ft of swell on offer, that's not even worth waxing the board for. The forecast leans optimistic because a 16-day blank isn't typical for this area, but for now, there are no good options to 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.
