Bingin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Well, lookin’ at the next couple of weeks for our little slice of paradise, it’s a mixed bag. We’ve got a real standout session coming mid-week, but plenty of days where you’ll be scratchin’ your head wonderin’ if it’s worth paddlin’ out. There’s a bit of a lull to start, with nothin’ really worth chasin’ until we get to Sunday morning the 12th.

Alright, let’s get into it. The first real chance to wet a line comes Sunday morning the 12th at Bingin. We’re lookin’ at a clean 3 ft swell from the SSW, and the wind’s swingin’ offshore from the ESE at 12 mph. That’s the good stuff – clean faces. The wave energy’s sittin’ at a moderate 469, and the water’s a warm 81°, pretty much spot on for this time of year. It’s a reef break, so it’s got that classic shape.

Now, Monday the 13th morning, the swell drops right down to 2 ft, but with a very long period of 23 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, but the combined energy is still moderate at 646. You’ll get long sets and clean conditions with offshore wind, but it’ll be small. Better off waitin’ for the afternoon when it bumps up a bit to 3 ft with 21-second period and 1047 energy.

But here’s the one you’ve been waitin’ for. Tuesday morning the 14th. This is the standout. Swell jumps up to a solid 6 ft from the SSW with a 17-second period, crackin’ energy at 2376. Winds are offshore from the ESE at 12 mph, makin’ for excellent, clean conditions. This one’s for experienced surfers only – it’s got plenty of push. The afternoon adds a bit more size to 7 ft and 2759 energy, but the wind goes cross-off.

We roll into Wednesday the 15th with some rain showers and a still-strong 7 ft swell, but the wind’s cross-off from the ESE at 16 mph. The wave energy is still strong at 2184, but the conditions are a bit more marginal. Thursday the 16th sees the swell droppin’ back to 5 ft.

Then there’s a patch of days where it’s just kind of there. Friday the 17th through to Tuesday the 22nd we see a lot of rain shower activity and cross-off winds, with swell sizes fluctuatin’ between 3 ft and 8 ft. On Monday the 20th the swell hits 8 ft with 3393 energy, but it’s still cross-off with rain. That one’s gonna be a handful and not the cleanest, better left to the experts on a good day.

Wednesday the 23rd brings a real shift – the swell direction swings to the SE with a short, choppy period of 8 seconds and only 700-814 energy. That’s weak and short, not much to write home about. Friday the 24th morning, we get a brief offshore window with a 5 ft SE swell and 814 energy, but that period is still short. Looks more like a kite surf setup than a proper paddle session.

The outlook fades out through Saturday the 25th with a small 4 ft SSW swell and a risk of thunderstorms.

So, to wrap it up: Tuesday the 14th morning is the clear winner. Get on it.
