About Bingin
Bingin is an intensely concentrated, left-hand reef break situated on the western coast of Bali's Bukit Peninsula. The bathymetry consists of a highly localised, exceptionally shallow coral limestone shelf that abruptly interrupts the deeper surrounding Indian Ocean waters. This specific geological formation forces approaching south-westerly swells to pitch instantaneously, creating a mechanical, heavily cylindrical barrel that breaks in the exact same location with remarkable consistency. The wave requires a mid-tide to provide a marginal safety buffer over the sharp coral, whilst a 30-degree north-easterly offshore wind holds the tube open and grooms the face. Because the reef segment is remarkably short, the wave does not offer lengthy carving walls; instead, it provides a brief, highly technical tube ride followed by a rapid deceleration into a deep-water channel. The steep, uncompromising take-off and the immediate necessity to navigate a shallow, spinning barrel render Bingin suitable only for advanced practitioners. Miscalculations here result in direct impact with the exposed reef, requiring precise positioning and expert tube-riding mechanics.

How often is this page updated?
Current conditions refresh every 6 hours when the cron runs. Hourly data updates every 30 minutes. The 7-day forecast, luck factor, and packing notes are all pre-computed at the same time.
What is the luck factor?
We compare the 7-day forecast to the last 5 years of marine data for the same week at Bingin. The delta tells you whether conditions are shaping up better, worse, or about the same as a typical late April.
How is 'best session' picked?
We score each day of the 7-day forecast using the same algorithm as the leaderboard, and highlight the highest scorer.
Where does the data come from?
Open-Meteo's Marine API (swell height, period, water temperature) and Weather API (wind and conditions).
Does the score capture local knowledge?
Honestly, no. Every break has tide windows, swell directions and reef contours that a global model cannot see. Treat the score as a starting point, then check a local cam.
