Bikini Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Bikini’s got cookin’ for us over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’re in a bit of a flat spell. Sunday the 6th is a write-off – messy onshore winds and lumpy surf, not worth paddling out. The water temp is sitting at 56° with a 3° anomaly, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing wild, but you’ll notice it’s a bit more comfortable than usual.

We finally get a window on Monday the 7th morning. It’s small, only 4 ft from the SSE with a 9-second period, but the wind swings around to a light NNW offshore, keeping things clean. The combined swell energy is a modest 228 – not much punch, but if you’re keen for a few grovelly ones, it’s doable. The afternoon turns glassy with an ESE breeze at 3 mph and 4 ft – super clean, but still small.

Tuesday the 8th stays in that same vein: 3 ft to 2 ft from the SSE, clean conditions, but wave energy drops into the 160s. Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th are tiny – we’re talkin’ 1 ft to 1 ft. The combined energy is below 100, barely a ripple. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th get messy with strong SE winds blowing 22 mph, lumpy cross-shore chop. Not your friend.

Now, Saturday the 12th afternoon sees a bump in swell height – 8 ft from the ESE – but the period is short at 8 seconds and the wind is howling. That’s a no-go for a paddle board. The energy value hits 750 (moderate), but with the wind and short period, this setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Sunday the 13th morning cleans up a bit – 6 ft from the ESE, 9-second period, cross-off wind. Energy’s up to 632, but the quality is marginal. The afternoon stays okay but drops to 5 ft.

Monday the 14th morning has some light rain and 5 ft from the E with ENE cross-off wind – energy at 605, but again, marginal. By afternoon, the wind swings onshore and kills it.

The second week is a mixed bag. Tuesday the 15th gets messy with strong SW winds. Wednesday the 16th sees 5 ft to 6 ft from the SSW, but cross-onshore winds keep it lumpy. The standout might be Thursday the 17th morning – 5 ft from the S with a 13-second period, combined energy at 899 (moderate), but the wind is cross-shore and creates a bit of chop. Still, the long period gives it some grunt. That’s an expert-only window – over 5 ft and a bit messy.

Friday the 18th morning brings a nice change: NNE offshore wind at 9 mph, 3 ft from the SSE, 11-second period, combined energy at 193. Clean conditions with gentle offshore wind – this is the best small-wave window for a cruiser session. The afternoon stays similar but drops to 3 ft.

Saturday the 19th morning goes glassy – WSW wind at 3 mph, 2 ft from the S, energy at 47. Tiny but perfect if you’ve got a longboard. Afternoon gets a light cross-onshore, so morning’s your window.

Sunday the 20th through Monday the 21st stays small and not worth chasing – 2 ft to 3 ft from the E, light winds but nothing exciting.

Honestly, the only true standout here is Friday the 18th morning. The offshore wind, clean conditions, and just enough SSE swell to make it fun. If you’re chasing bigger but messier waves, Thursday the 17th morning has some energy, but it’s a bit of a gamble with the cross-shore wind. For the rest, keep your expectations low.

Rusty.
