The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Bikini has in store for us.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – the first week is a bit of a flat spell. Conditions are ordinary at best, with a lot of onshore and cross-shore winds messing things up. The water temp is sitting at 52°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The good news is, things start to turn around on the 2nd of August. Sunday morning is looking like the real standout. We've got a clean 3ft swell from the ESE, and the wind is a light offshore from the ENE, bordering on glassy. The combined energy is a solid 348, which is a good sign there's some push behind it. That’s the session to point your board at.
Monday the 3rd is also worth a mention. The morning session is clean with a 3ft SE swell and a light offshore breeze. The energy is still strong at 217, so you'll get some decent lines. The afternoons get a bit blown out, so get out there early.
Now, for the bigger picture. The swell direction is from the S and SE, which is the optimum direction for Bikini. It's a beach and point break setup, so it can handle a bit of variety. Keep in mind, this spot is for advanced surfers only, and crowds are often a factor here, so be prepared to share the waves.
If you’re looking for something to keep you busy during the first week, there are a few small windows. Friday the 24th July morning has a tiny 2ft S swell but it's clean. It's not going to blow your mind, but it's something to get wet on.
The second week looks a bit more promising in terms of size, but the wind is a real issue. We get a pulse of 5ft to 6ft swell around the 6th and 7th, but it's coming with a lot of cross-shore and onshore wind, making it look pretty choppy. For the experienced crew, there might be a few waves to pick off, but it's not going to be pretty.
So, to sum it up: if you can wait, the 2nd and 3rd of August are your best bets. The first week is a bit of a write-off. Don't waste your time on the bigger days if the wind is junk.
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.
