Bingin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

First up, the overall pattern: we’ve got a solid, long-running groundswell from the south-west, with only a brief dip in the middle. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is about bang on average for this time of year with that little negative anomaly of 0.5°, so don’t worry about a chilly session.

The stand-out call here is Friday morning, September 11th. We get a clean 6ft SSW groundswell with a very long 16-second period, and the wind is a gentle offshore from the ESE. That’s a recipe for some proper, lined-up walls at Bingin. The combined wave energy is strong at 1865, and with the swell direction matching the optimum from the SW, this is a real treat. It’s an advanced reef break, so leave the mal at home, and it often gets crowded, so get in early.

The rest of the run is a bit of a mixed bag. The wind is mostly a cross-off from the SE, which keeps the surface clean but it’s not the glassy perfection we get on that Friday. The swell holds in the 5ft to 7ft range through the rest of that first week, with that very long period sticking around. The energy stays strong, with values between 1727 and 2625. The tide might be a factor here, so keep an eye on it.

We hit a bit of a lull around the 19th and 20th of September, where the swell drops to 4ft and the period shortens up. The energy dips to a moderate 895 and 995. Not the best of the run, but still surfable.

Then, things pick up again. Sunday, September 20th promises a return to form. We’re looking at a 6ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period. The wind is a light 6 mph breeze from the SE, which is cross-off but very light, so it’s going to be clean. The combined energy is back up to a strong 1927. This is another excellent session for experienced surfers.

The second week then builds into a solid run. We see the swell kick up to 7ft and 7ft on the 23rd, with the energy topping out at 2674. That’s strong stuff. The wind stays cross-off, so it’s clean, but at 7ft and over on a shallow reef, this is for experts only. The 25th looks like the biggest swell of the whole forecast, with 8ft SSW swell and a massive combined energy of 3257, but again, it’s a cross-off wind, so it’s going to be powerful and demanding.

Rusty.
