The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks. We’ve got just the one spot in the crosshairs: Bingin, a classic reef that’s consistent and strictly for the experienced crew. It faces the right direction for SW swell.
First thing’s first: Monday, 17th August is a bit of a dud. Don’t bother paddling out. The first real green light comes on Tuesday, 18th August.
That Tuesday morning is the absolute standout. Bingin is seeing 6ft of SSW groundswell from a very long period of 16 seconds, packing a solid punch of energy (2197). The wind is a clean offshore at 25 km/h from the ESE – that’s the ticket for glassy, perfect walls. This is the session for the skilled surfer only.
The swell sticks around through the week, but the wind shifts to a cross-offshore, so the quality is still there, just not as pristine. We get a bigger pulse on Wednesday and Thursday with 8ft to 8ft from the SSW, but that’s expert territory with serious energy (over 3500). If you’re not charging, stay out of the water.
Another cracker morning is Saturday, 22nd August. A clean 7ft of SW groundswell (period 16 secs) with that same lovely offshore ESE breeze at 25 km/h. Expect crowds, but the reward is high-quality, hollow reef waves.
Into the second week, from 24th August onward, the swell settles down to 4ft to 6ft, wind stays cross-off, and energy drops into the hundreds to low thousands (around 741 to 2037). It’s more mellow, fun for the average surfer, but nothing earth-shattering. The water is a balmy 78°F, which is right on the money for the season.
There’s a nice little comeback at the end of August, Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st. We get a 5ft to 7ft SW groundswell with an 18-second period on Sunday and a gentle 15 km/h SSE cross-off breeze. The energy jumps back up (2593 on Monday morning), and the call is for excellent conditions for the experienced crowd. That long-period swell will love the reef setup at Bingin.
So, the clear winners are Tuesday 18th and Saturday 22nd. The end of August looks promising but is a way off, so we’ll see how it tightens up. No huge gaps in the forecast, so you’ll get your fix most days.
This is Rusty, out.

Information about the Bingin Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Bingin provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Bingin can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Bingin 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 (Bingin) 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 Bingin 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.
Bingin is 11 km (7 miles) from the city of Kuta. If you plan a holiday in The Bukit - Bali, look for hotels and other accommodation in Kuta. Kuta has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
