A swell bridle is a way to rig a bridle to your anchor so that the boat faces directly into the swell rather than directly into the wind/current which it usually does. A swell bridle is useful when the swell is coming in at a different angle from the wind/current and it definitely has it's limitations. I don't think I would be comfortable rigging a swell bridle in anything over 20 knots of wind as more of the beam of the boat is facing this wind creating more windage.
