Bingin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

We're looking at a solid run of swell at Bingin, a classic reef setup that handles a fair bit of energy. The water's sitting at 80° and that's bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The wind pattern is ESE, which is cross-offshore here, and that's a plus for keeping things clean.

The first couple of days, starting Sunday afternoon the 2nd of August, we've got a clean 7 ft SSW groundswell on a long 16-second period. The energy is strong, clocking in at 2110. This is a powerful, well-shaped swell, but it's right on the edge of what's good for experienced surfers. The tide could be a bit tricky, so don't expect perfection. This run continues into Monday and Tuesday with 5 ft to 6 ft on offer, still that clean cross-off breeze, but the scores are a bit lower.

Wednesday the 5th is a bit of a holding pattern, still in the 5 ft to 5 ft range with that same clean cross-off. Then Thursday morning the 6th, we get a jump. The swell hits 7 ft from the SSW, period stretching to 17 seconds, and the wind turns off, meaning it's glassy clean. The energy is very strong at 2534. This is a standout moment.

Friday the 7th sees the swell peak at 8 ft, with a 17-second period and energy hitting 3464. This is big, powerful, and only for the experts. The reef will be handling a lot of water. The wind is still cross-off, so it's not messy, but it's a serious paddle.

The wave heights stay strong through Saturday the 8th and into Sunday the 9th, still in the 7 ft to 8 ft range with strong energy. The real highlight, though, is further out. On Thursday the 13th of August, we've got a big 10 ft SSW groundswell on a 17-second period, and the wind is offshore again. The energy is massive at 5322. This is the peak of the entire forecast. Again, this is a serious, expert-only swell. The following Friday the 14th holds 10 ft but the period drops to 14-15 seconds, and the wind picks up to 22 mph, which is getting a bit lively.

After that, it slowly fades. The 15th and 16th still have some 5 ft to 7 ft waves, but the energy drops. By Monday the 17th, it's down to 3 ft, which is pretty small.

The real standout here is Thursday the 13th of August. That's the one to circle on the calendar. Clean, offshore wind, 10 ft of SSW groundswell with a 17-second period, and the energy is through the roof. For the experienced crew, that's the day. The Thursday the 6th is a good runner-up for a slightly more manageable size.

Rusty, signing off.
