Bingin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it.

The first thing you need to know is that the water’s sitting at 79°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year. Nothing weird going on there, just normal Bali warmth.

We’re looking at a solid run of surf on the cards, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The standout window is around Tuesday the 11th, and then again on Friday the 21st. Those are the days you want to clear your schedule.

Let’s break it down. The surf starts on Saturday the 8th with a clean but somewhat unremarkable 8ft SSW swell. There’s plenty of energy behind it, with combined energy reading 3113, but the reports are calling it marginal, likely due to tide. It’s not a write-off, but it’s not the day to be a hero either. The wind is a cross-off from the SE at 12 mph, which keeps it clean.

Sunday holds similar size, 7ft, but the energy drops a bit. Still clean, still rideable, but we're waiting for something better.

Monday the 10th. The morning is still in that 6ft range, but things start to get interesting in the afternoon. The swell jumps to 10ft and the energy jumps way up to 5492. This is when the ocean starts waking up.

Now, Tuesday the 11th. This is it. The morning session is the pick of the whole forecast. We’ve got a solid 10ft SSW swell with a 17-second period, and the energy is pumping at 5324. The wind is a gentle cross-off breeze from the ESE at just 9 mph. This is going to be proper. Bingin is a reef break, so a long-period groundswell like this with that direction is going to be world-class. It’s an advanced wave anyway, and at this size, you really need to know what you’re doing. For the experienced surfer, this is as good as it gets.

The rest of that week backs off a bit. Wednesday and Thursday are still in the 7ft to 10ft range, but the quality drops, and the energy is a bit scattered. Not bad, just not epic. The conditions stay clean, but the magic of Tuesday morning is gone.

The following week starts to fade. By the 17th and 18th, we’re seeing smaller 5ft to 6ft waves, and the energy takes a real dive, down to around 1000. It’s not flat, but it’s a lot less exciting. The wind also picks up a bit, with some fresh breezes on the 18th.

But then we get another shot. Friday the 21st. The swell kicks back up to a solid 10ft with a 17-second period. The energy is back up to 4739, and the wind is a light offshore breeze from the ESE at just 6 mph. This is another standout. Again, this is a big swell for a reef, so it’s expert territory. But the conditions are going to be pristine. This is another one for the core crew.

After that, it starts to mellow out for the end of the run. The 22nd and 23rd see the swell back down to around 7ft, and the wind picks up significantly on the 23rd, with the SE breeze hitting 22 mph. It’s still clean, but it’s not the same quality.

So, to cut it short: If you’re good enough, Tuesday the 11th and Friday the 21st are your days. The energy, size, and wind are all lining up for proper Bingin. The rest is just filler. Keep an eye on those tides, because the forecast keeps mentioning that as a factor.

Alright, stay stoked.
