The Lowdown
Righteo, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Bikini over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim start. We’re lookin’ at a solid stretch of days with next to no surf worth paddlin’ out for. From Thursday the 23rd of July all the way through to Friday the 31st of July, it’s a whole lot of nothin’ – tiny, weak swell, crossed-up winds, and just poor conditions. You’d be better off givin’ the board a rest. The only tiny flicker of life is on Friday the 24th of July afternoon with a little 2ft S swell that’s got a 13-second period, but the energy is weak (146) and the overall vibe is just “ordinary.” Not worth gettin’ wet for.
Then, things finally start to show some promise. Saturday the 1st of August sees a jump in size – a solid 7ft to 8ft ESE swell rollin’ in, but with a short, punchy period of 7 to 8 seconds. The energy is gettin’ there (520 to 808), but it’s a bit raw and the wind is cross-off, so it’s not the cleanest. That kind of size is really only for the experienced crew.
Now, for the standout. The real gem in this forecast is Monday the 3rd of August. The morning session is lookin’ perfect. We’ve got a clean 6ft ESE swell, with a 10-second period, and the wind is glassy – dead calm, not a breath. That’s the kind of mornin’ you dream about. The energy is strong (763), and the water temp is sittin’ at 52°F with a 0.9°F anomaly, so it’s about average for this time of year. The break itself is a beach and point setup, and it’s very consistent, so you’ll get waves. Just a heads up, it’s an advanced wave, and crowds are often, so you’ll have company. That Monday morning is the one to circle.
The rest of that first week of August tapers off. Tuesday the 4th is still fun with a smaller 4ft ESE swell and clean offshore winds, but the energy drops (335). After that, it fades back into the ordinary stuff by Wednesday the 5th.
So, the call is clear: suffer through the dry spell, then chase that Monday the 3rd of August morning. That’s the best on offer.
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.
