The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Binalong Beach.
Honestly, the next week and a half is a bit of a mixed bag. There’s a lot of small, weak, or choppy stuff, but there are a couple of moments where it all comes together nicely.
The standout by far is the Thursday morning (6th August) session. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 58°, and with glassy conditions from a slight air, you’ll have clean, smooth waves. Swell is coming from the ESE at 4 ft with a period of 10 seconds, carrying moderate wave energy (674). It’s a bit average for beginners over 5 ft, but if you’re comfortable, this is the pick of the forecast. Crowds can be an issue here sometimes, so don’t sleep in.
The other one worth mentioning is the Wednesday morning (12th August) – a bit further out, so less certain, but promising. You’ll get glassy conditions with a fresh NNW breeze and 5 ft of swell from the NNW. The period is short at 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly, but the energy is moderate (211). This is only for experts, though; 5 ft is fine, but that short period can make it tricky.
After that, there’s a real dry spell. From Thursday 13th through to Monday 17th, the surf is tiny or blown out – not worth paddling out for. The good news is Binalong Beach is a fairly consistent spot, so a blank run like this won’t last forever.
Rusty.

Information about the Binalong Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Binalong Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Binalong Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Binalong Beach 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 (Binalong Beach) 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 Binalong Beach 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.
