The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with the lowdown on Bridges. Got a 16-day window ahead, and honestly, it's looking pretty darn flat for a good stretch. We're lookin' at a quiet start.

The first part of the run is a total washout. We're talkin' tiny, weak surf. Swell heights are barely 1ft, and the energy is weak, barely crackin' the low double digits (22). The wind is cross-off from the ENE, so the surface is clean, but there's just nothin' to ride. This flat spell goes right through Friday the 12th, Saturday the 13th, and into the early part of the next week. The water temp is about 86°, which is a touch warmer than average for the time of year – about 2° above normal. But it won't matter much with no waves to paddle in.

We finally see a little pulse around Thursday the 18th. Swell height bumps up to a touch over 3ft, and the energy climbs to 61 for the afternoon. The wind is still cross-off, so it's clean, but it's still a pretty weak offering. That little bump carries into Friday the 19th with energy hitting 79 in the morning – the highest we'll see – but the swell is still only 2ft from the N. It's a glimmer, but not a gem.

So, what's the best on offer? Gotta be Sunday morning, the 21st of September. We've got a weak 1ft from the N, but the wind goes glassy. That's the standout. The energy's only 21, so it's limp, but for a tiny wave day, a completely smooth ocean is the only way to go. You'll be fightin' for every wave, but the ones you get will be silky. Monday the 22nd morning has another glassy window, but the swell drops to under 1ft.

The long story short: it's a slow period for Bridges. The surf just isn't on. The final few days of the outlook have a bit more energy (35-43) and an offshore wind on Saturday the 27th, which is a good sign, but it's still very small and too far out to get excited about. That glassy Sunday is your best bet if you're jonesin' for a paddle, but temper your expectations.

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.
