Bingin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, and I've got the goods for you on Bingin. No other spot's in the frame for this stretch, so this is where we're looking.

Right off the bat, it's a reef break set-up over there that's built for advanced crew, and it's consistent. Those SW swells from deep in the Indian Ocean will be feeding it over the next couple of weeks. The water's sitting at a warm 79°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year.

Saturday the 15th kicks things off with some decent size – around 8ft of SSW groundswell, but that period is a whopping 17 seconds. That's proper long-period energy, packing a punch with what we call combined swell energy sitting at (3142). The breeze is cross-off from the ESE at 9 mph, which should groom it up nicely. It’s a sweet setup for the experienced surfer, but that 8ft size is nudging into the "too big for beginners" territory.

Come Sunday the 16th, it gets even cleaner. We're looking at an offshore wind in the morning, ESE at 9 mph, and the swell hangs in there at 7ft from the SSW with a 16-second period. That morning session is the standout of this whole first week for me. The energy is still strong (2243), the shape should be there on the reef, and with offshore winds, it’s going to be absolutely glassy. It's still a solid 7ft, so it's for the confident surfer only.

The middle of the week, from Monday the 17th through to about Thursday the 22nd, sees the swell drop a bit, sitting between 5ft and 8ft, but the wind stays in that cross-off range from the ESE or SE at 12-16 mph. Because it's consistent, there'll always be waves, but the quality looks more marginal on the scores. The energy takes a dip in the middle, dropping to around (893) on Monday afternoon before kicking back up.

Now, it gets interesting again. A new pulse of longer-period swell arrives for Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th. Friday the 28th morning is a surprise – a tiny 3ft from the SSW, but with a 19-second period and offshore ESE wind. That'll be long lines and clean for the patient surfer on the right tide. Then Saturday the 29th morning is another top pick: 7ft from the SW, period at 19 seconds, and the energy is pumping at (3704). The wind is lighter at 9 mph from the SE, a lighter cross-off. That’s a lot of power and size, so definitely just for the experts. Then Sunday the 30th morning still looks good, 7ft SW with a 17-second period and winds down to 6 mph from the SE. After that, conditions look to trend back to that 4-5ft range with weaker energy. It's a solid 16-day window with a reliable, consistent break; it won't be flat for long.

Keep an eye on that Sunday the 16th morning and Saturday the 29th morning – those are the absolute standouts for the experienced surfer. The long-period swell means the take-off will be a little more critical on that reef, and the gaps between sets will be longer. Paddling out won't be as much of a fight, but you'll need to be on it when the set comes.

Stay stoked,
Rusty
