Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk surf for Bikini. This is a beach and point break that's exposed to southern swells, so it takes a bit of a specific window to really fire here.

The next week and a half is looking pretty flat and ugly to be honest. Westerly and south-westerly winds are really messing things up for most of the first week, with onshore conditions chopping up what little swell there is. The water is sitting around 53°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

We've got a lull in the action until the morning of the 15th of July. That's a full ten days of waiting for something decent.

The real standout, and the only one worth getting truly excited about, is Wednesday the 15th. We see a solid pulse of swell hitting, with the morning offering up a clean 8ft S swell. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the north-northwest, so it's going to be clean. The wave energy is cooking at 865 (moderate to strong), so there's some punch behind it. That's solidly in expert territory at that size, so leave the foam boards at home. The afternoon cleans up even more with a 7ft S swell at a longer 11-second period, with light cross-shore winds, and the energy jumps to 1220 (strong). It's a day for the experienced crew to get after it.

In the days following that, things back off but there's still some fun-sized swell around. The morning of the 17th of July (Friday) sees a cleaner 4ft SSE swell and the wind goes offshore from the northeast – that's the ticket for clean waves. The period stretches out to 14 seconds, so it's a proper groundswell. That long period might make it a bit straight at the beach, but for the point, it should be pure class. A solid option for the advanced surfer.

Other than that 15th, the rest of the window is pretty marginal. There's not much else worth paddling out for, so pick your window carefully.

This is Rusty, signing off.

Information about the Bikini Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Bikini provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Bikini can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Bikini 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 (Bikini) 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 Bikini 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.

Bikini is 17 km (11 miles) from the city of San Carlos. If you plan a holiday in Uruguay - South, look for hotels and other accommodation in San Carlos. San Carlos has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
