Bingin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a solid, consistent run of swell coming through, but it’s not all perfect. The standout moments are when the wind swings offshore, and that’s where you want to be paying attention.

The main break in the spotlight is Bingin. It’s a classic reef break, so it handles the bigger swells well, and it’s pointing the right way for this south-west groundswell. Water temps are hovering around average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.

We kick off from Wednesday, 12 August, with a decent 7ft SSW swell rolling in, but the wind is a cross-off at 15 mph. It’s clean, but not glassy. The energy is moderate to strong (2857). This pattern hangs around through Thursday and Friday, with swell sizes between 7ft and 8ft, and the period staying long, around 15 to 17 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and at Bingin, it’ll shape up nicely. The catch is the wind stays cross-off, so it’s good but not perfect.

Now, the real gem shows up Sunday, 16 August, morning. The wind swings offshore from the ESE at 12 mph, and we’ve got a 7ft SSW swell with a 16-second period. The energy is still strong (2080), and the conditions are clean and moderate offshore. This is the best window for a quality session. It’s still a bit sizey for beginners, but for experienced surfers, it’s a winner. The crowds are often here, so get there early.

Monday, 17 August, morning also has offshore wind, but the swell drops to 5ft. Still fun, but less power. The energy drops to moderate (1019). Then we get a bit of a lull in the super clean stuff, but the swell hangs around the 6ft to 8ft range through the middle of the week, with cross-off winds.

The next true standout is Wednesday, 19 August, afternoon. We get another offshore window – ESE at 16 mph, with a 8ft SSW swell, 17-second period, and strong energy (3621). This is a big, powerful groundswell. At 8ft, this is expert territory only. The reef setup should handle it, but it’s going to be a serious session.

Then we have another good window on Friday, 21 August, morning. Offshore wind again, ESE at 16 mph, with a 8ft SSW swell, 17-second period, and energy at 3710. Another big, clean day for the experienced crew.

Looking further out, the swell stays solid through the weekend and into the next week. By Sunday, 23 August, we see a very long period swell of 22 seconds in the morning, with 6ft waves, but the energy is through the roof (4144). That’s a very long-period groundswell. At Bingin, a reef, that should be a thing of beauty, but the wind is cross-off. The afternoon bumps up to 7ft with a 20-second period and even more energy (4868). This is a massive, powerful swell, but the wind isn’t offshore. It’s still a solid option.

From Monday, 24 August, through to the end of the outlook, the swell remains in the 4ft to 8ft range, with the period staying long. The wind is generally cross-off, but we see some lighter breezes around the 25th and 26th. The energy drops to moderate (948) by the 26th, and the swell fades a bit. The last few days look like smaller, cleaner conditions, but nothing that jumps out as a top-tier standout.

Overall, the best bets are the offshore windows on Sunday morning, 16 August, Wednesday afternoon, 19 August, and Friday morning, 21 August. Those are the days to clear your schedule. The rest of the period is filled with consistent, rideable waves, but with that cross-off wind, it’s not all-time.

Stay safe out there, and remember, the long-period stuff can be tricky at beach breaks, but Bingin’s reef will handle it.

Rusty.
