Bikini Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break it down. Mick here, and I’m looking at this stretch of days for Bikini (Bikini). It’s a real mixed bag, and I gotta be honest – for a lot of this period, we’re looking at small, messy, or just plain ugly conditions. There’s a decent window of solid surf in the first week of August, but patience is the name of the game.

The first recommendation starts on Sunday, July 26th, and it’s a flat start. We’re talking tiny, weak swell with rippled bump. The wind is cross-on and the wave energy is barely a whisper (93). It’s not the kind of thing that gets a local out of bed. This run of poor surf stretches through the next several days. The swell stays under 3 ft, the period is short and messy, and the wind just won’t cooperate. The water temp is about average for the time of year, no weird anomalies to report.

We get a quick, hopeful moment on Thursday, July 30th morning. The wind goes glassy, which is a major positive, with a little 2 ft S swell (94 energy). That’s a surfable, clean little wave, but it’s tiny. It’s the kind of dawn patrol that’s nice for a longboard, but not a standout.

The real action kicks off on Monday, August 3rd. The morning shows 6 ft of E swell with a short period (7 seconds) but it’s clean under offshore NNE winds. The energy is moderate (326). The afternoon is where it gets serious: 7 ft E swell, period 8 seconds, and moderate offshore winds. The energy jumps to a powerful 931. This is a standout window. This is a solid, punchy, clean wave, but at 7 ft, it’s pushing into expert territory – it’ll be too big for beginners. With the swell coming from the east, it’s hitting the optimum direction for this spot. Crowds are likely here, as it’s often busy.

Tuesday, August 4th morning carries that energy through with a 6 ft E swell, period 9 seconds, and light cross-offshore NNW winds (786 energy). This is another top-tier session. The waves will have better shape with that longer period, though it may get a bit straight-breaking at the beach sections. The afternoon sees the wind switch to a strong cross-onshore, turning it lumpy. So hit the early session.

After that, the quality drops hard. The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off – small, onshore, or just poor surf. There’s a long gap of nothing much from the 5th to the 10th. The last few days are all small, weak, and messy.

So, to sum it up: the best bet is the morning of Monday, August 3rd and Tuesday, August 4th morning. If you can handle a solid 7 ft wave with offshore wind, Monday afternoon is the true standout. The rest of the period is a write-off, so don’t hold your breath.
