Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, let’s talk about Bikini. It’s a beach and point break, real consistent, exposed to south swell, and you’ll often see a few folks out there.
Water temp’s about 51° – average for the time of year.
From the start on Monday the 6th through Thursday the 9th, it’s a rough go. Swell’s tiny, mostly 1 to 3 feet from the ESE, and the wind’s cross or cross-onshore, making it lumpy and choppy. The combined wave energy is pretty weak, just 86 to 197.
Thursday afternoon (9th) brings a bit of a break – light cross-off wind, 2-foot ESE swell, and clean conditions. It’s surfable, but nothing special.
Then a gap of poor surf until Saturday the 11th morning. That’s a standout moment: a light cross-off breeze, 2-foot swell but with a real long 14-second period from the ESE, and energy hits 347. It’s small, but clean and with that long period, the point break will shape it up nicely. You’ll have company though – crowds are often.
The rest of Saturday goes downhill fast, and Sunday the 12th is a total blowout – onshore wind at 22 mph, messy, and that 4-foot SE swell with 525 energy is just a washout. Not worth it.
Monday the 13th is your best day. Morning shows a light cross-off wind, 4-foot SE swell at 12 seconds (437 energy), and it’s clean. The afternoon goes offshore from the NE at 9 mph, with 4-foot SE swell and 362 energy. That’s a proper session for advanced surfers – good size, good period, and the point will handle it.
After that, it fades. Tuesday the 14th and beyond is mostly small and ordinary. There’s a glassy morning on Friday the 17th, but only 2-foot SE swell – hardly worth getting wet. The rest is small, short-period, and often cross-onshore.
The two best windows are Saturday the 11th morning – tiny but clean with long-period groundswell – and Monday the 13th all day, with 4-foot SE swell and offshore or clean conditions. That Monday is your real standout.
Overall, the longest gaps between decent surf are days long, and the wave energy is mostly in the weak to moderate range. You’ll have to work for it.

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.
