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.

We’ve got one spot on the radar, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The first few days are a write-off, but there’s a genuine window of quality further out. The water is sitting at 80°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so don’t expect any surprises temperature-wise.

The action starts to get interesting on Sunday, 2 August. That morning at Bingin, we’ve got a solid 6ft SSW swell running with a long 16-second period, and the wind is light offshore from the ESE at 12 mph. Conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers, and the combined energy is pumping at 1927, which is strong. This is the standout window. The swell direction is firing straight into the optimum SW direction for this reef, so it’s going to line up beautifully. It’s a consistent, advanced wave, so leave the soft-tops at home. The offshore wind will keep it glassy and clean, but logistically, the bigger size and powerful groundswell mean it’s strictly for the crew who know what they’re doing. Expect crowds here, as it’s a well-known spot that often gets busy.

Following that, Monday morning, 3 August, is another good call. The swell drops a touch to 6ft, still from the SSW at 15 seconds, and the wind remains offshore from the ESE at 16 mph. The energy is still strong at 1499, and the conditions are again marked as excellent for experienced surfers. It’s a worthy follow-up session, but the Sunday morning is the real pick of the bunch.

The rest of the forecast sees a lot of cross-offshore wind and marginal surf. There’s a pulse of bigger swell around 8 and 9 August, with Saturday morning, 8 August, showing 7ft SSW at 16 seconds and combined energy hitting 2599. That’s a lot of water moving, but the wind is cross-off, and the surf quality is only rated as marginal. It’s a big swell, but it won’t be as clean as the earlier window. For the average surfer, the 2-3 August window is where you want to be.

So, to wrap it up: the first week is a bit of a dud with strong onshore winds and poor quality. The real surf kicks off on the morning of Sunday, 2 August, and holds through Monday morning, 3 August. That’s your window. After that, it’s messy and inconsistent until the next big pulse, but the wind is never quite right to make it a true standout.

Stay frothy, and I’ll see you out there.
