Bingin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the run ahead for our region.

We've got surf on the table from the start, so no gap to worry about. The first few days are workable, but the real firecracker is way out there, nearly two weeks from now. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, no big anomaly to speak of.

Looking at the first Tuesday, the 15th of September, we've got a solid 6ft SW groundswell rolling in with a long 15-second period, packing some serious punch – the combined energy is a hefty 1436. The wind is cross-off from the ESE at 16 mph, which keeps the surface clean but it's a bit of a battle, not glassy. Conditions are described as marginal, so it's a session for the keen, not the casual.

Wednesday the 16th sees a slight dip in size to 6ft but the wind shifts offshore from the ESE at 12 mph, and they're calling for "very good" conditions in the morning. That's a solid window. The swell direction has swung a touch to the SSW, and with a 15-second period, the quality should be there.

The next few days roll through similar territory – Thursday the 17th afternoon has the best score with 7ft SSW swell, 14-second period, and a lighter 9 mph breeze. Friday the 18th morning cleans up nicely with a light 6 mph breeze and 5ft swell, but overall, it's a middling run.

Now, the standout window. Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st see the size bump up again. Sunday afternoon hits 7ft from the SW with a 16-second period and a combined energy of 2130 – that's moderate to strong energy. Monday morning is the pick of that little run: 6ft SW, 14-second period, light 6 mph ESE cross-off breeze, and the report says "excellent for experienced surfers". This is a reef break, so those longer-period swells should set up beautifully, though the cross-off wind means it won't be perfectly glassy.

But the real beast is the big pulse around Saturday the 26th of September. This is a long-range call, so take it with a pinch of salt, but the numbers are mouth-watering. We're looking at 10ft SSW swell with a 20-second period and a combined energy reading of 8188 on the afternoon. That's a massive, powerful, very long-period groundswell. At this size, over 8ft, this is strictly for experts only – it'll be heavy and unforgiving. The wind stays cross-off, so it'll be clean, but still not perfect. This is the one to circle on the calendar if you've got the skills and the courage.

The rest of the period tails off into the 5ft to 7ft range with consistent cross-off winds, which means plenty of surfable but not epic days. The long-period pulse on the 22nd (3ft but an 18-second period) will be a bit weird for a beach break, but at Bingin, it's a reef, so it should still produce some tidy lines.

All up, the best bet for most is Wednesday morning the 16th for cleaner conditions, and the absolute standout for the big dogs is the weekend of the 26th of September. Stay safe out there.

Rusty.
