Bingin

Bingin is a surf spot located in Bali, Indonesia. The surf spot provides left waves. It’s situated on the western side of Bali’s Bukit Peninsula, known for its consistent and powerful reef break. Bingin features a coral reef bottom and is best surfed at medium tide. The wave quality is considered a regional classic, suitable for intermediate surfers. The wave length is less than 50m, and the spot is often ultra crowded. Nearby surf spots include Impossibles, Dreamland, Balangan, Padang Padang, and Uluwatu. The wave at Bingin offers opportunities for barrel rides, with a quick take-off leading into a hollow section. Surfers can expect a steep wall suitable for one or two maneuvers before the wave closes out. The optimal surfing conditions occur during the dry season from April to October, with ideal swell direction from south to southwest. Wave heights typically range from head high to double overhead. Access to Bingin Beach involves descending a steep set of steps. The beach area features white sand, clear waters, and local eateries known as warungs. Due to its popularity, the lineup often includes a mix of local and international surfers. It’s crucial to respect local etiquette and be mindful of others in the water, especially when crowded. Check your skills before paddling out to ensure the spot matches your level. The shallow reef can be hazardous, particularly at low tide, so exercise caution. Urchins are present in the area, adding to potential risks. Localism can be an issue, so be respectful of local surfers. The spot requires a decent swell to work well; when Uluwatu is approaching 6 feet, Bingin is typically 2-3 feet. On good days, expect 25 or more surfers in the lineup. The road from Pecatu provides access to the spot. Remember to check surf forecasts, reports, and maps before your visit.
