Bingin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into the outlook for Bingin.

We’re looking at a solid run of swell through the 16-day window, but it’s not all clean perfection. The opening days are a little rough, but there’s a distinct pulse of bigger, longer-period groundswell that starts to build from the middle of the first week. The water is sitting at 81° with a pretty normal anomaly—so it’s about what you’d expect for this time of year, no surprises there.

On Thursday the 9th, we’ve got a 6ft SSW swell but it’s messy with a cross-off SE breeze at 16 mph. The combined energy is strong (1785), but the conditions are marginal. It’s not the day to get excited. Friday the 10th morning actually sees a fresh offshore breeze from the ESE at 22 mph, with the same 6ft SSW swell—cleaner lines, but the rain showers might put you off. The energy is pumping (1940), but it’s still a bit of a battle.

The real standout comes on Saturday the 11th morning. The swell drops to 5ft from the SW, but the wind goes light offshore from the ESE at 12 mph. You’ve got a moderate offshore breeze, clean conditions, and a combined energy of 1149. The period is 14 seconds, so it’s a proper groundswell with good shape. This is your best window in the first week—Bingin will be offering up some smooth, lined-up waves. The crowds are often here, so expect company, but it’ll be worth it.

The swell drops right off on Sunday the 12th, down to 3ft, with energy dropping to 464. Still offshore in the morning, but it’s small. Things pick up again late on Monday the 13th afternoon with a 3ft SSW swell but a very long period of 21 seconds, and energy climbs back to 1047. That long period will make the waves a bit fat and straight at a reef like Bingin, but it’s still fun.

The main pulse hits from Tuesday the 14th through Wednesday the 15th. We’re seeing 6ft to 7ft SSW swell with 17-second periods, and combined energy peaking at 2473. That’s strong wave energy. The wind is cross-off the whole time, so it’s clean but not glassy. This swell is big enough for advanced surfers only—definitely not a beginner day. The swell direction (SSW) is a little off optimum for Bingin (which prefers SW), so it’s not perfect, but it’s got plenty of grunt.

After that, the swell slowly backs off through the rest of the second week, staying in the 4ft to 5ft range with cross-off winds. The periods stay solid, often 14 to 15 seconds. The mornings on the 18th and 24th are worth a look—the 24th Friday morning has a gentle breeze at 9 mph, a 5ft SSW swell, and very good conditions expected. That’s a nice late call.

Overall, the standout is Saturday the 11th morning, with the clean offshore winds and that 5ft groundswell. The big pulse on the 14th and 15th is for the experienced crew only. The second week is more consistent than spectacular, but there are clean windows if you’re patient.

Rusty.
