Bingin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

We’ve got a loooong 16-day window, and for the most part it’s a classic run of clean, trade-wind swell at Bingin. The first few days, Monday the 27th through Wednesday the 30th, are a bit of a write-off – the wind is cranked up from the ESE around 18-25 mph, and while the swell is there, it’s mostly short-period SE windswell with some mixed SSW groundswell later. The conditions are clean but the quality is just not there – a bit too much chop and not enough shape. The combined energy is moderate, so it’s not flat, but it’s not doing anything special.

The real turnaround starts to build on Thursday the 30th afternoon, but the standout is Saturday morning, August 1st. That’s the call. The wind drops to a gentle offshore breeze from the ESE at 9 mph, and Bingin is glassy. The swell is a solid 5 ft from the SSW with a long period of 16 seconds – that’s proper groundswell, and it’s hitting that optimum SW direction right on the money. The combined energy is strong, and the water temp is a comfortable 80°, which is about average for this time of year. This is a reef break that loves a long period, so expect clean, lined-up waves. Just be aware that with a 5 ft groundswell, it’s still manageable for intermediate to advanced surfers, but it’s not a beginner wave. Crowds are often here, so you won’t be alone.

After that, the swell keeps pumping through the first week of August, with SSW groundswell holding around 6 ft to 7 ft and periods staying in the 14-18 second range. The wind stays cross-offshore from the ESE to SE, mostly 12 mph, keeping things clean but not as perfect as that Saturday morning. The combined energy jumps up to strong values, peaking around 10 ft equivalent on Thursday August 6th – that’s serious energy. But with the swell over 7 ft, it’s pushing into expert territory, especially on a sharp reef break like Bingin. The wind is a bit stronger on those days, so it’s still surfable but not as pristine.

The second week, from about August 7th onward, the swell stays consistent but the wind is a little more on it, and the quality remains marginal for most sessions. There’s no real standout in that second week – it’s just a lot of solid, clean but not perfect surf. The best bet is still that Saturday morning, August 1st. If you’re looking for a true winner, that’s your window.

Rusty.
