More about Bridges surfspot
Downtown Aguadilla features fickle slash and burn rights at Bridges, when the W swell awakens it deep in the wind-protected bay.
General: A very well known wave, Bridges is right in the heart of Aguadilla in front of the government buildings. It's essentially a sand and reef-bottomed right pointbreak, super-fun, playful, and rippable, with a few different sections scattered along its 100 or so yards. It's pretty much always glassy (except with south winds) and fairly fickle, 'cause it's tucked pretty far in the bay. Oh, and it's always crowded and pretty polluted, too, as it's right downtown. But it's a great place to work on your speed carves and check out Aguadilla's best surfers during the dozen or so times a year it breaks. Tides: Not the biggest tidal changes but lower generally better. Size: Chest high-overhead Wind: Northeast, East or Southeast Swell: NW Bottom: Sand and reef Paddling: Typically not too bad but depends on the swell. Spot Rating: It needs a big north or northwest swell but fun when it turns on.
Beginner to advanced
Park right there.
Late summer and fall for tropical cyclone swells but late fall through early spring for consistency.
Crowd Factor: If it is working there will be a crowd. Local Vibe: If other spots are maxed out you bet it will be pretty heavy.
Always crowded since it is so much fun. Polluted area of coast.
Pretty nasty, especially after rains.
Crowds.
