Bingin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the surf shaping up for Bingin. We've got a solid run of swell on the cards, but conditions are going to be a bit of a mixed bag, so you’ve got to pick your windows.

We’re starting off on Thursday the 30th with a clean but slightly messy 5ft SSW swell. The wind is a cross-off, which keeps the surface tidy, but the energy isn't powerful enough yet for the real magic. The water’s sitting at a warm 80°, which is pretty much right on the money for this time of year.

Over the weekend and into early next week, we see a slow but steady build. By Sunday the 2nd, the swell pushes up to 7ft from the SSW, and that afternoon the wind actually goes offshore. That’s your first real standout moment – clean 7ft waves with that classic Bingin shape. The combined energy is strong, sitting around 2148. It’s still moderate, but for experienced surfers, this is the window.

The pattern holds through the following week with consistent 6ft to 7ft SSW swells and mostly cross-off winds. The waves stay clean but are often just a bit under-gunned or perhaps a touch too straight with the longer period. The energy fluctuates between 1254 and 2291 – solid moderate stuff, but nothing that’ll blow your hat off unless you're after a fun, consistent session.

Now, looking ahead to the second week, things get more interesting but also a bit more uncertain. Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th see the swell jump up to 8ft - 8ft. Friday morning (7th) has proper offshore wind with a fresh 19 mph breeze, but the swell is getting big. At 8ft, it’s pushing toward expert territory. The energy numbers are climbing into the 2600s, so you’ll feel the power.

The real standout in this longer range window looks to be Tuesday the 11th. The morning kicks off with a 7ft SSW swell, light 9 mph cross-off winds from the SSE, and a combined energy of 2897. That’s a recipe for some excellent, clean barrels for those who can handle it. Later that afternoon, the swell jumps to a solid 10ft with an 18-second period from the SSW – this is proper, powerful groundswell with a combined energy of 4920. The wind goes a bit cross, so it might get a little lumpy, but for an expert, that’s serious business. This is definitely the best looking day of the whole 16-day stretch, but remember, it’s a week and a half out, so keep your eyes on the updates.

Keep in mind, Bingin is a consistent reef break that can handle a decent amount of swell. It’s an advanced wave and the crowd factor is often there, so expect company on the peak. The swell direction is a consistent SSW, which is right in Bingin’s sweet spot for optimum shape.

So, in short: don’t sleep on Sunday the 2nd afternoon for clean, mid-range fun. But if you’re an experienced charger wanting the best of what’s on offer, circle Tuesday the 11th. Just be ready for a proper session.

Rusty.
