Bingin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Howdy, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Bingin over the next couple weeks. The whole pattern is one long run of solid SW groundswell, but we’ve got a persistent cross-off wind that keeps the surface tidy without ever going totally glassy. Water temp is a standard 80°, right where it should be for this time of year.

We start Friday, September 4th, and it’s a bit so-so. Swell is around 5ft from the SW with a 14-second period, moderate energy (745). Wind is cross-off from the ESE at 15 mph, so it’s clean, but the report flags marginal surf or tricky tides. It’s a maybe for the experienced crew. By Saturday the 5th, things pick up—swell hits 7ft from the SSW with a 16-second period and strong energy (2007). Still clean, still cross-off, but now you’ve got proper groundswell. That long period will shape up some nice walls on the reef, just mind the lulls between sets.

The real standout window runs from Sunday the 6th into Wednesday the 9th. Sunday morning delivers a solid 7ft SSW swell at 17 seconds—that’s a very long period groundswell with major energy (2844). Bingin’s reef will draw those lines out beautifully. Winds stay cross-off from the SSE at 13 mph, so the lineup stays clean. But the absolute gem is Wednesday afternoon, September 9th. Swell holds at 8ft from the SSW with a 16-second period, energy still pumping (2615), and the wind drops to a light 9 mph from the south. The forecast calls it “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” That’s the session to aim for. The morning has 8ft, which is expert-only territory.

From there, we settle into a steady run of 6ft to 7ft SSW swell through the 12th. Winds stay cross-off, energy strong (1500–3400), but it’s all flagged as marginal for tide. Nothing wrong, just not the peak. Then Sunday the 13th brings another pulse: 8ft from the SW with an 18-second period and energy at 3559—another proper groundswell. Cross-off wind keeps it clean, but expect company; crowds are often at Bingin.

From Monday the 14th onward, the swell stays chunky (6ft to 8ft) but the wind picks up to 15 mph from the ESE and SE, still cross-off, just a bit more breeze. The standout in that second week is Saturday the 19th: 7ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, with the wind finally easing to a gentle 9 mph from the SE, giving you the cleanest conditions of that late period. It’s promising but further out, so keep an eye.

Best on offer? Wednesday afternoon, September 9th, is the clear highlight. The combo of size, long period, lighter wind, and that excellent rating makes it the one to chase. Second pick is Sunday the 13th for that big 8ft pulse—just know it’ll be busy.
