Conditions at Bingin in January
January: The Monsoon Grind
The wet season is in full force, and the wind rose tells the story: W winds make up 36.7% and WNW a further 17.2%, leaving only 19% of the time with ideal offshore flow. The swell still shows 5.6ft (1.7m) at 12.4s, but it is arriving from the SSW (35.7%) and SW (47.4%), directions that have to work hard to wrap into Bingin's northwest-facing reef. With rain nearly every day and air temperatures hovering near 27.8°C, the surf is usually lumpy and disorganized. Occasionally, a break in the W flow and a touch of SSW wind aligns the reef for a couple of hours, but those are rare wet-season treats.
