The Lowdown
Alright, grab your coffee, let's talk about what we've got.
Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty quiet run here for the next couple of weeks. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak surf with not much to get excited about. The first few days are basically a write-off with next to nothing on offer. You’ll be waiting a while.
The first hint of something that might be worth a paddle shows up on Saturday the 29th of August. Even then, it’s not a classic. The swell at Bridges is a messy 4ft from the NE with a short 7-second period. The wave energy is moderate (155), but it's just lumpy, ordinary conditions. The wind is a cross-off breeze, so it won't be completely blown out, but it's nothing to write home about.
After that, it fades back to tiny again. Late in the run, we see some glassy mornings on the 1st and 2nd of September, but the swell is only 0.7ft. That’s a lake, not a surf. The water temp is around 85°, which is about average for the time of year.
So, what’s the standout? There isn’t one. If you’re desperate, the best of a bad bunch is that Saturday the 29th, but keep your expectations on the floor. Everything else is just flat. This is a real quiet period.

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.
