Yo, what's kickin'? Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next few weeks at Bikini look like a bit of a mixed bag, not a lot of classic, all-day surf on the menu, but there are a couple of windows where it could get real fun if you time it right. This is a beach and point setup, exposed to the south, so it needs the right direction to light up. The first few days are pretty much a write-off.

We start off on Tuesday the 7th of July with nothing doing – messy, cross-shore winds around 16 mph and weak, junky swell. Wednesday the 8th is more of the same, just not worth paddling out. Thursday the 9th shows a glimmer of hope with a small, clean wave possible in the morning – about 2 ft from the east with a 10-second period, but it’s pretty weak (combined energy of 55). The wind goes light and cross-offshore, so it'd be clean, but you're hunting for scraps.

Friday the 10th of July morning could be your first real chance for a sneaky session. It’s gonna be glassy – no wind at all – with a clean 3 ft wave from the east-southeast and a period of 11 seconds. Energy is moderate (164), but the conditions will be perfect for a small-wave board. The crowd factor is listed as "often", so don't expect to have it to yourself.

Saturday the 11th of July morning is where it gets interesting. The wind swings to a light offshore from the north-northeast at 9 mph, and the swell holds at 3 ft from the east-southeast, but the period jumps to 11 seconds and the energy cranks up to a solid 363. It’s gonna be clean, lined-up, and way more fun than the tiny stuff earlier. That’s your standout session for the first week – get on it before the wind switches onshore in the afternoon and wrecks it.

Now we hit a rough stretch. From Saturday afternoon right through to Thursday the 16th of July, it’s mostly windy, messy, or just plain weak. Sunday the 12th gets ugly with a fresh to strong breeze and lumpy onshore slop. Not worth it.

Friday the 17th of July morning brings a bit more size – 5 ft from the east – but the period is a short 6 seconds, making it weak and crumbly. The wind is cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean, but the wave quality is marginal. Saturday the 18th of July afternoon actually looks promising with a moderate offshore wind from the northeast at 16 mph and a 4 ft, 9-second east swell. Energy is moderate (288), and it’ll be clean. That’s another decent shout if you can handle the cleaner conditions.

After that, the energy drops off again. Sunday the 19th through to Wednesday the 22nd of July is mostly small, weak, and ordinary. There’s a couple of glassy morning sessions on Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd, but the swell is tiny – 1 ft – so you’re really just floating around on a longboard.

So, to wrap it up: the standout windows are Saturday morning the 11th of July for the clean offshore conditions and best wave quality, and Friday morning the 17th of July for a bit more size, though it’s a shorter-period swell. Don’t expect magic every day, but there are a couple of fun windows if you’re keen.

Rusty.

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.
