Bikini Surf Forecast and Surf Report

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

First up, we’ve got a solid pulse arriving Wednesday morning, the 26th of August. This is where it’s at for the experienced crew. We’re looking at a clean 5ft SE swell, period a long 15 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy, gonna wrap in nicely at this exposed spot. Wind is a clean offshore from the NE at 12 mph, so those waves are gonna be lined up and chunky. The combined energy is pumping at 1103 (moderate wave energy). Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild. This is a point-and-beach setup that handles S swell best, and this SE direction is close enough to do damage. Wednesday morning is the standout, no question.

Wednesday afternoon holds onto the quality, still a clean 5ft SE swell with the same long 15-second period and offshore breeze. It drops off slightly but still a great session for the advanced surfer. Crowds are often here, so expect some company, but the waves will be worth it.

Thursday morning the 27th sees the swell ease to a clean 3ft, still a nice 13-second period from the SE with a light 6 mph offshore wind. It’s glassy and fun, but the size is dropping. A good option if you missed Wednesday. Thursday afternoon though, the wind swings onshore from the SSW, and it’s all over – poor conditions, avoid it.

From Friday the 28th right through to Tuesday the 1st of September, we hit a real flat, choppy patch. Winds are all over the shop – cross, cross-on, choppy – and the swell drops to knee-high mush with weak energy. There’s a couple of days around the 30th and 31st with clean, cross-off wind but the swell is tiny (2ft to 4ft) and short period (7-8 seconds). Surfable, but barely worth wetting a suit for. This stretch is a write-off.

We get a nice little revival on Thursday morning, the 3rd of September. A clean 5ft SSE swell rolls in with a 12-second period and a gentle 9 mph offshore from the NNE. Combined energy is 517 (moderate wave energy). It’s clean, groomed, and good for the advanced surfer – a proper second wind after the flat spell. The afternoon holds at 3ft S swell, still offshore, but the energy drops off.

After that, it fades again. From the 4th of September onwards, we’re back to small, weak, and mostly poor or ordinary conditions. The 8th and 9th show a bump in size to 4ft S/SSW swell, but the period is short (5-6 seconds) and the wind is cross-off. You might get a few lumpy walls, but it’s nothing to get excited about. The last decent day is the 10th, and that’s blown out with onshore wind.

So, the bottom line: Wednesday morning the 26th of August is your golden window – big, clean, and powerful. Thursday the 3rd of September is a solid backup. The rest is either flat, windy, or both. If you’re a beginner, the size on the 26th is too big, and the small stuff later is either messy or lacks push. For the experienced, get on it early.

Stay frothy.

Rusty.
