Bikini Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk Bikini surf. And I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—this 16-day stretch is mostly a flat, choppy mess. But there are a couple of tiny windows where you might actually want to get wet.

We start off Sunday afternoon the 13th with a 1.6m south-southeast swell, but it’s short-period (8 seconds), and the wind’s cross-onshore. It’s lumpy and ugly. Water temp is 13°—a touch warmer than usual for this time of year—and the energy is moderate (396), but the quality is poor. I’d skip it.

Monday morning the 14th is your first real chance. Swell drops to 0.7m from the south, but the period stretches to 10 seconds and the wind is glassy. That’s clean, even if it’s small. The energy is moderate (167), and it’s surfable. Monday afternoon gets a light cross-shore and it fades out. Morning’s the call.

Tuesday the 15th is junk. Morning has small east swell but a strong cross-wind making it lumpy. Afternoon brings a 1.3m southwest swell with a pathetic 5-second period and onshore wind. Just gross.

Wednesday morning the 16th is still cross-onshore and choppy with 1.4m from the south. But here’s the gold: Wednesday afternoon. The wind swings cross-offshore, the swell settles to 1.3m from the SSE at 9 seconds, and the energy is solid at 313. It’s clean, it’s got some push—this is easily the best surf of the whole period. If you only surf once, make it Wednesday afternoon.

Thursday the 17th has clean offshore conditions in the morning with 0.9m from the SSE at 9 seconds—surfable but nothing special. Friday the 18th is down to 0.4m. From the 19th through the 20th, it’s basically flat—0.2m slop. Don’t even look at it.

There’s a real dead zone from the 19th to the 21st. The 21st shows 0.7m east swell but onshore and weak. The 22nd bumps up to 1.5m from the south but it’s only 6 seconds and onshore—a lumpy mess.

The 23rd is clean with 1.2m from the SSE at 7 seconds and offshore wind in the morning. It’s surfable but still short-period and meh. The 24th has some long-period energy (14 seconds) but the size is tiny—0.4m. You’ll be waiting forever for nothing.

The 25th onwards is mostly small east swells, clean at times but weak. The 26th has 0.8m at 8 seconds and clean in the morning—small but rideable. The 27th and 28th are back to cross-onshore winds and chop. Poor.

So, bottom line: Wednesday afternoon the 16th is the standout—clean, moderate size, decent energy. Monday morning the 14th is your only other real option, and that’s just for a small, glassy dribble.

Otherwise, it’s a long, quiet stretch. Water’s a touch warm, but that doesn’t help when there’s no waves. Pick your window carefully, don’t force it, and maybe bring a book for the rest of the time.
