Description

Gordon's Bay (Bikini Beach) - South Africa Bikini Beach features a left-point break with a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks. The waves are known for being fast and fun, particularly during mid to high tide with a rising tide. Optimal conditions arise with a southwest swell and north winds, although the spot is fickle and best after storms. Access is straightforward; park near the harbor and walk less than 5 minutes to the waves. The atmosphere is vibrant, especially in summer when the beach attracts many visitors. While the main break can be crowded on weekends, weekdays offer fewer surfers. The wave breaks close to the rocks, providing thrilling rides, but caution is advised due to the rocky bottom. When conditions align, Bikini Beach can deliver exceptional surf, making it a sought-after spot for both surfers and bodyboarders.
