Bingin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s brewing at Bingin. This is a consistent, advanced reef break that gets plenty of swell, and we’ve got a solid run of southern hemi energy stacking up over the next couple of weeks. The water’s sitting at a warm 80°, which is about 0.5° warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing out of the ordinary.

Starting off this Sunday the 30th, it’s a bit average. We’ve got a clean 5ft SSW swell at 13 seconds, but the cross-off wind from the ESE at 25 km/h keeps it from getting real nice. Wave energy is moderate (839). Monday the 31st is similar, with a touch more size in the afternoon – up to 6ft from the SSW at a solid 18 seconds, giving the waves some real drive. Energy jumps to 1892 by the arvo.

Now, Tuesday the 1st of September is where it gets interesting. That morning we see a clean 7ft SSW groundswell with an 18-second period, and for the first time the wind goes offshore from the ESE at 25 km/h. The energy reading is 2523 – that’s strong, powerful stuff. Conditions are set to be excellent for experienced surfers. The long period means cleaner, more powerful waves with better gaps between sets for paddling out. This is a standout session.

From Wednesday the 2nd through to Saturday the 5th, the swell hangs around the 4ft to 6ft range, but the wind stays cross-off and the energy drops off a bit. It’s surfable, but nothing to get stoked about – mostly marginal with tricky tides.

Sunday the 6th sees a bigger pulse: a 8ft SSW swell, again with an 18-second period, and moderate cross-off wind. Energy is a heavy 4251. It’s still clean but the size and cross-off make it one for the experienced crew only.

The real highlight, the one to circle on the calendar, is Tuesday the 8th of September. The afternoon delivers a massive 10ft SSW swell at 18 seconds, with a gentle breeze from the south at just 15 km/h. The energy is enormous at 6278, and the wind is near glassy. This is excellent surf for experts only – big, clean, powerful lines peeling down the reef. Best on offer, no question.

Wednesday the 9th keeps the energy high with 8ft SSW swell at 17 seconds in the morning, and a light cross-shore wind. By the afternoon it cleans up beautifully with a gentle cross-off, energy at 4393. Another solid day for the advanced crew.

From the 10th onwards, the swell slowly fades from 7ft down to 6ft by the 11th, and into the second week, the energy stays moderate to strong, but the wind remains cross-off. The standout in the second week is still Tuesday the 8th.

There are no gaps in the surf here – it’s consistent right through the 16 days. Just make sure you’re ready for the size and the reef when the big groundswells hit.

Rusty.
