The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here again. Lookin' over this 16-day stretch at Bridges, and I gotta be honest with you – it's a whole lot of nuthin'. The forecast is full of "poor surf conditions" and tiny, weak bumps. This point break don't break often anyway, and right now, it's just takin' a long nap. The combined swell energy barely pushes past 100 a couple of times mid-month, hittin' 162 on Saturday the 15th, but the wave comment stays "poor." It's gonna be a long, flat wait.
We kick off Wednesday the 5th with nothing to get excited about. Swell heights are just 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft from the NE all through the first week, with a real short, weak period of 6 to 9 seconds. Winds are cross-off from the ENE or NE, which is okay for the surface, but there's no surf to clean. The combined energy is down in the low double digits, even single digits – that's whisper-quiet energy (11 to 83). This flat spell drags through the weekend and into Monday and Tuesday (11th and 12th August), with swell dropping to a miserable 0.3 ft.
Here's the only thing that catches my eye, and it ain't pretty. Around Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th of August, the swell nudges up to about 3 ft to 4 ft from the NE, with the period still only around 7 seconds. The energy finally hits the low hundreds (112, 117, 162), which is at least moderate. But then you look at the wind – it's blowin' 20 to 25 mph from the ENE on Friday, and still 19 mph Saturday morning. That's a fresh breeze, and it'll rip the face off anything that stands up. The swell is small, short-period, and gettin' thrashed. The best direction for Bridges is NW, and we're stuck with stiff NE windswell. No good.
After that little spike, the energy vanishes again for the last few days, back to 0.3 ft with light winds. Honestly, with this poor quality, strong onshore wind, and tiny swell from the wrong direction, this place is lookin' better for a kite than a surfboard. Leave the log at home. I'll be checkin' back in case the models change.

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.
