Bikini Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's cut through the noise and look at what Bikini's got cookin' for us.

Right off the bat, the next few days are a write-off. We’ve got a solid run of poor surf and messy onshore or cross-shore winds that just won't let up until at least the middle of the week. You're looking at a real slow start here.

Now, Monday the 14th shows a little flicker of hope – the wind finally swings around offshore out of the NE, dropping to a gentle breeze. Swell is tiny though, around 2 feet from the south, and the energy is pretty weak (combined energy of 171). It's clean, but you'll be scratching for anything rideable. Don't get your hopes up.

Thursday the 17th is where things start to look a bit more interesting. We get a proper offshore breeze from the NNE, moderate but clean, and the swell bumps up to a consistent 3 feet from the SSE with a solid 10-second period. The combined energy jumps to 205, which is a decent pulse. This is a classic Bikini setup: the south swell with that period will wrap nicely into the points, and with offshore wind, that place can handle it. It's an advanced break, very consistent, and the crowds are often a factor – so expect company, but it’ll be worth it for those clean lines.

Friday the 18th morning is pure magic for a moment. The wind goes glassy – absolutely dead calm – but the swell drops right back down to 2 feet with combined energy of just 98. It's a real tease; the conditions will be perfect, but there's barely any water moving. A good session for a log or a longboard, nothing more.

After that, the outlook gets pretty grim again. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf with cross and onshore winds and tiny swell through the mid to late 20s. There’s a pulse building toward the 25th, with the swell jumping to 7 feet from the south on Friday the 25th morning, but the wind is cross-onshore, making it a messy, lumpy affair. The energy is massive, though (combined energy of 999), so if you’re an expert and don’t mind the chop, it’ll be powerful. That afternoon cleans up a bit to cross-shore with an 11-second period, which could be the best of that week, but the onshore earlier will have stirred it up.

The standout window is definitely that Thursday the 17th. It's not huge, but it's the perfect combo of clean offshore wind and a decent south groundswell that Bikini just loves. That’s your session.

The water temperature is sitting at 55°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – not a huge difference, but noticeable if you're used to the bite.

Stay tuned, forecasts can flip, but for now, it’s a waiting game.

Rusty.
