Bingin - surf spot statistics

Bingin, Indonesia, is a world-class reef break with consistent surf year-round, but the best conditions are typically found during the dry season from April to October. During this period, the swell is almost exclusively groundswell (97-100%), with minimal wind swell interference, providing clean, powerful waves. The mean swell size peaks from June to September, averaging 2.0-2.2m, making these months ideal for experienced surfers looking for larger, more challenging waves. Wind conditions improve significantly from April onward, with the highest percentage of favorable offshore winds occurring in April (60% good wind conditions) and October-November (73%). However, the April-October window balances solid swell size with relatively better wind patterns, particularly in April, September, and October. The wet season (November-March) still sees strong groundswell dominance, but onshore winds become more prevalent (up to 81% bad wind conditions in January-February), and swell size decreases slightly (1.5-1.6m). For the best combination of size, consistency, and clean conditions, target April (early dry season) or September-October (transition months), when swell energy remains strong and wind direction is more reliable. Advanced surfers may prefer June-August for bigger waves, though wind quality is less predictable during these months.

June at Bingin offers consistent surf with an average swell height of 2.0m and a solid period of 15.0s, producing powerful, well-defined waves ideal for experienced surfers. The swell is predominantly SSW and SW (over 50% of the time), with heights mostly in the 1.5–2.5m range, ensuring quality, rideable conditions. Wind is a mixed factor, with ESE to SE directions dominating. While 31% of the time winds are favorable (light to moderate offshore or cross-offshore from the east), stronger onshore ESE winds (10–30kph) can occur, potentially reducing wave quality at times. Overall, June delivers reliable, medium-to-large waves with decent shape, though wind conditions require monitoring for optimal sessions. Advanced surfers will find plenty of opportunities, while less experienced riders should assess conditions carefully.
