Table - best surf conditions forecast for Bridges over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the 16-day forecast for our spot.
To be straight with you, the outlook is a bit of a bummer for the whole run. We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch with only tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. The first real surf window is a long way off, and even then it’s nothing to write home about.
The first recommendation doesn’t show up until Saturday, July 26th. That’s a solid two weeks of nothing. Up until then, it’s a mix of tiny swell and cross-off winds, with the occasional glassy moment but no real energy to push a wave. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
The only standout, and I use that word loosely, is Bridges on the morning of Saturday, July 26th. We’ll see a tiny 3 ft swell from the NE, which is the optimum direction for this spot. The energy is still weak, reading a mere 68, but it’s the biggest we’ll see. The winds will be light and glassy, so the surface will be super clean. It’s a sheltered point, and with crowds only sometimes, you might get a few fun ones to yourself. The swell period is a short 6 seconds, so it won’t have much power, but it’s the best we’ve got.
The rest of that day, and the following days, drop back to nothing. If you’re desperate, you might get a knee-high dribble, but that’s about it. For now, leave the board in the car and check the forecast in a week or two.
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.
