Bingin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a solid run of swell ahead for the next couple of weeks, but it’s not all going to be a walk in the park. The early calls are a bit average, but there’s a couple of real gems hiding in the second week for the experienced crew.

Right now, we’re looking at a period that starts up on the 31st of July. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is spot on the mark for this time of year, so no surprises there. The energy is already pumping, with a combined swell energy reading of 1475, which is moderate to strong, but the conditions are just a bit off.

The first real standout I’m getting amped for is Monday the 3rd of August. The morning session at Bingin will be the pick of the first week. We’ve got a clean 6ft SSW groundswell with a long 15s period – that’s proper energy. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore from the SE at 9 mph, which will keep the reef lines glassy. The combined energy is a solid 1516, but it’s the quality of the swell that’s got my blood pumping. It’s a reef break, consistent, and fairly exposed to the SW swell, so it’ll handle this nicely. This is a beginner’s nightmare though – over 5ft, and with that period, it’s for the advanced crew only. The place can get crowded, so expect some company.

After that, the swell hangs around the 5ft to 7ft mark through the rest of the first week, but the wind stays a steady cross-off. It’s rideable, but nothing to write home about.

Now, the real firecracker is Tuesday the 11th of August. This is the one you’ve been waiting for. We’re looking at a massive 12ft SSW groundswell, with a very long 19s period. The combined energy screams off the chart at 9456. That’s serious, heavy water. The wind is a lighter ESE cross-off at 12 mph, which is a bonus. But let’s be real – this is 12ft. That’s experts-only territory. This won’t be a paddle-out for the faint of heart. The point break and reef setup at Bingin will turn this into a proper freight train, but with that period, expect it to be connecting all the way down the line. The following morning on the 12th is also a highlight, with a slightly smaller 10ft swell and a clean 16s period, still packing a punch with a combined energy of 4001.

From the 13th onwards, the swell settles back to the 7ft to 8ft range, still with that long-period, groomed feel. The 15th of August looks like another solid pulse, pushing 10ft to 12ft again, but as a long-range call, that’s a bit more of a promise than a certainty right now.

If you’re a grom or a beginner, the first week is a write-off with the size. The second week is a big-wave show. The winds are consistently cross-offshore, which is great for the shape, but it’s never that perfect glass-off. There’s a gap of mediocre days between the 4th and the 5th, but it’s not a total flat spell. Just keep your eye on that 11th of August – that’s the one.

Rusty.
