Table - best surf conditions forecast for Bikini over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Bikini over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a long flat spell to start. The first surf that’s worth paddling out for arrives on Sunday morning, July 12th. That’s a solid week away.
The standout window is definitely Sunday morning, July 12th. Bikini is a beach and point setup, and it’s pretty exposed to the south swell. That morning we’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the ESE with a long 13 second period, which is a proper groundswell. The real kicker here is the wind: glassy. Total glass. The combined energy is moderate at 283, so there’s some push behind it. For an advanced spot, this is the pick of the forecast. The water temp is sitting at 51°F, which is about a degree cooler than normal for this time of year, so nothing wild, but it’s a bit nippy. Expect crowds here – it’s often busy, so get in early.
The next decent window is Monday morning, July 13th. The swell has dropped a touch to 3ft from the SE, still with a solid 12 second period. The wind is offshore from the north, light enough to keep things clean. The energy is moderate at 207, so it’ll be fun but not as punchy as Sunday. Again, a good morning session for the advanced crew.
After that, the surf gets inconsistent and small. There’s a few days of lacklustre conditions, but then we see a weird spike on Saturday afternoon, July 18th. A 4ft east swell with a short 7 second period rolls in, with moderate offshore winds from the north. The energy is moderate at 147, but the short period means it’ll be a bit lumpy and less organised. Sunday afternoon, July 19th, sees a similar 3ft east swell, but with a clean cross-offshore wind, so it’s more surfable than the day before.
Honestly, the whole window is a bit of a slow burn. The first week is a write-off, and the second week offers only a few very average days. The Sunday the 12th is the only true standout. For the rest, it’s a bit of a gamble, but that’s how it goes sometimes.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
