The Bridge - Great Lakes surf guide

The Bridge - Great Lakes is a notable surf spot located near Grimsby on the shores of Lake Ontario. Itโ€™s a well-known area among local surfers, particularly because the lake tends to have longer windswells thanks to its depth. The spot is situated by a rocky, cobblestone shore leading up to various surf breaks around the lift bridge, which often attracts surfers looking for some clean waves after the wind dies down.

This spot works best with northeast swell, handling sizes around 2 ft. (0.6 m) and producing both left and right beach breaks. The preferred wind direction is southwest, and all tide heights from low to high are usually workable. Itโ€™s a place that can cater to beginners looking to enjoy a fun surf session without too much complication. With the right conditions, The Bridge can offer a decent ride, though itโ€™s not the most consistent spot in the Great Lakes area.

The surfing environment here can be affected by other local factors, including the surrounding industry, but when the conditions align, it provides a unique experience on the water. Keep an eye on the northeast and east swells to find the best waves, especially during the summer when the winds pick up.
