Bikini Beach

Bikini Beach is an SW-facing beach break in Gordon's Bay, Western Cape, South Africa. It picks up swell from S to WSW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 77% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NE: light winds or NE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SW onshores chop it up.
