Bridges Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, listen up. For a good stretch here, it’s pretty flat out at Bridges. We're looking at a whole lot of nothing from now until late September. You've got swell heights barely reaching 2 to 3 feet at best in the early days, but honestly, most of it is under a foot. The energy readings are weak – numbers like 12, 7, and 46 – nothing that's going to get your heart racing. And while the winds are mostly light or glassy, which is great for the water surface, there's just no waves to ride. It’s a dead spell, plain and simple.

Then, around the 24th, we see a change. The surf starts to show some life with about 2.5 to 3 feet of north swell, and the energy reading moves up to 135 – moderate. It’s surfable, but the conditions are still pretty ordinary. By the 25th, we're getting a slightly better 3-foot wave, with energy at 214, still moderate, but it's getting there.

Now, here’s the standout. Mark your board for Saturday the 26th. The morning is looking like the best we’re going to get in this whole window. We’ve got a clean 3 feet of swell from the north-northeast, with a nice 11-second period, and the energy is pumping at 438 – that's strong for this spot. The wind is glassy, and it’s going to be clean. Bridges (point break) is sheltered from this direction, so it should hold up nicely. This isn't a day for the beginners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is the session. The paddling out should be easier with those longer gaps between sets.

After that peak, Sunday the 27th still has some decent 3-foot waves, but the energy is starting to drop to 213, and by Monday the 28th, it's fading fast back to that weak energy zone at 88. So, it’s a short pulse, not a long event.

Before that Saturday, there’s just nothing worth your time. The setup looks more like a kiteboarding day than a surfing day during that first week. But when that window opens on Saturday, be ready. It's not giant, but it's clean, and that's a win in my book.

Stay stoked.
