The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve looked over the forecast for Bridges. It’s a point break that’s a bit sheltered and inconsistent – it’s not the kind of spot that fires every day, and this stretch is looking flat and quiet for a long, long time. We’re talking nothing but tiny, weak waves and poor surf conditions right through the entire 16-day window. The combined swell energy barely cracks double digits most days, sitting around 29 (weak) on Thursday 27th August morning, then 63 (weak) that afternoon, and it just stays weak. There’s a small bump of 252 (moderate) on the morning of Monday 31st August, but that’s still poor surf conditions with a 4ft swell from the northeast, period around 10 seconds, and a cross-off wind from the south. It’s not enough to get excited about. Water temps are about average for the time of year, so nothing weird there.
The best of a very, very quiet bunch is the glassy morning of Tuesday 1st September. We’ve got a glassy north wind, 1ft of swell from the northeast, period only 7 seconds – that’s short-period, weak stuff. The break is inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting around. The crowd profile says “sometimes,” so you might see a few others doing the same. It’s clean, but there’s no power. That’s the pick of the entire run, and it’s not saying much.
The rest of the period is a total blank. We’ve got gaps of days with barely a ripple. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly cross-off or glassy, but the energy is just not there. A few mornings like Wednesday 2nd September and Thursday 3rd September are glassy with 1.0ft and 0.3ft swell – that’s flat. Even the longer swell periods (like 14 seconds on Thursday 27th August) are paired with such tiny height that they don’t generate anything. For a spot that’s inconsistent and sheltered, this is a real dry spell. It’s not unusual for Bridges to go quiet like this, so don’t hold your breath.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, the glassy mornings with even the slightest bump are your only chance. But honestly, this is more of a kite-surfing setup if the wind picks up, not a surf session. The waves are just too small and weak for a proper ride.

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.
