Bingin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for this stretch of coast.

Right off the bat, this is a run of solid, consistent south-west groundswell aimed right at the reef, but don’t go thinking it’s all clear skies. The first few days are going to be a bit of a frustrating tease—clean waves, but the conditions are questionable tide-wise or just marginal overall. We’re looking at a bit of a slow burn through Thursday and Friday (September 3rd and 4th) with chest-high, clean lines, but the energy just isn’t making it happen in the right way. The water temp is sitting right around 80°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, nothing weird there.

Now, the real talk. The standout window is undeniably Sunday the 6th through Tuesday the 8th. That Sunday morning (September 6) sees a jump in size to a solid 7 ft from the SSW with a very long 17-second period. The combined energy is pumping hard (2861), and the water is clean. That’s serious groundswell energy for the reef. It’s going to be powerful, with long lulls but proper shaped waves. Monday the 7th keeps the goods coming, but the period drops a bit. Tuesday morning, September 8, is the true gem: 5 ft from the SSW with a super long 19-second period. The wind drops to a gentle breeze, and the conditions are flagged as excellent for experienced surfers. That’s dreamy for this reef, mates. The sets will be widely spaced but absolutely perfect when they arrive.

Make no mistake, this is expert territory. Anything over 5 ft on a shallow reef like Bingin is not for beginners, and when it hits 7 ft plus, you better know what you’re doing. The crowds here are often a factor, and with quality on the menu, expect company.

After that Tuesday high point, the middle part of the week (September 9-11) keeps the swell up around 6 ft to 7 ft, but the period shortens a bit and the conditions turn more marginal. The highlight for the second week is actually Monday, September 14. We see a spike back up to 8 ft-8 ft from the SW with solid energy (3032). It’s just a shame the forecast flags it as marginal, so keep an eye on it - that could surprise if the winds play nice. The rest of the second week fades slowly, with the swell dropping back to waist-chest high by September 18 and the energy fading (669).

Overall, the best wave on offer across the whole outlook is Tuesday morning, September 8 at Bingin. That 5 ft, 19-second SSW groundswell with a gentle offshore breeze is the pick. Get on it if you can.

Rusty.
