The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s cooking for Binalong Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a slow start. The first couple of days are pretty weak, with tiny, poor waves. Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are not worth a paddle. You’ll be better off checking the wax stash or the lineup from the sand.

Things flicker to life on Wednesday morning the 5th. We’ve got a small 2ft swell from the SE with a short 8-second period, and a clean offshore breeze from the SW. It’s nothing special, but it’s surfable and clean, so if you’re desperate, you could get a few fun ones.

The real standout and the best bet in this whole window is shaping up for Thursday the 6th. Thursday morning is looking *glass*. The wind is WSW at 5 km/h, making it silky. Swell is 5ft from the S with a 7-second period, giving you moderate wave energy (500). The combined energy is solid, and with glassy conditions, this is the pick. It’s a good size for intermediate surfers, but still manageable for confident beginners. Get out there early, because the afternoon turns onshore and messy.

Friday the 7th is mixed. The morning is glassy again with a 3ft SSE swell, but the period is only 6 seconds, so it’s a bit weak (149 energy). The afternoon cleans up with a cross-offshore breeze and a 4ft S swell, offering better energy (308) and cleaner waves. It’s a decent session, but not the standout.

The weekend from the 8th takes a dive, with small, weak, and bumpy conditions. Not worth your time. There’s a long gap of poor surf through Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th, with only very small, choppy options.

The next chance for something good comes on Thursday the 13th. This is a standout for the second week. The morning is looking magic: a clean 6ft NE swell with a 10-second period, and a solid offshore SW breeze at 20 km/h. The combined energy is strong (559), and the winds are offshore, so the waves will be clean and well-shaped. This is the one to target for the more experienced crew, as the size is getting up there. It’s still a week and a half away, so keep an eye on the charts, but it’s promising.

Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th offer surfable but ordinary conditions, with messy wind and dropping energy. The 16th of August has a bit of size again, with a 5ft S swell in the afternoon (475 energy), but the wind is cross-offshore, so it’s not perfect. The 17th and 18th are a return to small, marginal conditions.

Binalong Beach is a river-mouth break, so it can be a bit hit-and-miss. For the best bet in this window, lock in Thursday morning the 6th for the cleanest conditions, and keep an eye on Thursday the 13th for a bigger, more powerful session if the long-range forecast holds. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

Rusty out.

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.
