Bingin

Best time to surf

May-Oct (dry season)

Shoulder season: Consistent in the dry season; wet-season (Nov-Apr) NW winds go onshore on the west coast

The wave

Break type: Reef break

Bottom: Reef (shallow; dry rock end section)

Wave direction: Left

Typical wave length: Short, intense, consistent barrel to the Greedies section

Ideal swell: Small-to-medium SW swell; the most consistent barrel on the Bukit

Ideal wind: Offshore in SE to E (dry-season trades)

Working tide: Best lower tide (hollower); shallow

Difficulty & skill

Difficulty (1-5): 4

Skill level: Intermediate-to-advanced (easiest barrel to learn, but shallow)

Options for a mixed group: Barrel spot; the split is Bingin Rights next door (mellow intermediate) and Dreamland/Balangan for less advanced; warungs on the sand for non-surfers.

Safety & hazards

Shallow reef; the Greedies end section breaks on dry rock - kick out cleanly

No reef lifeguard; reef-cut care and clinics nearby; hospitals in Kuta/Denpasar ~20-45 min; good signal onshore

Crowd, access & conditions

Crowd & localism: Crowded with skilled locals and travellers chasing the same barrel

Access & parking: Steep stairs and lanes down through the warungs; clifftop parking

Surf schools & rental: Barrel-riding coaching (Padang Padang Surf Camp video sessions); not for beginners

Water temp & wetsuit: ~27-29 C year-round; boardshorts / rashguard, no wetsuit

Crowds, access and local conditions change - confirm locally before you paddle out.

Around the break

Facilities: Dense warung/cafe strip on the beach and cliff

For non-surfers: Bukit temples and beaches, cliff cafes, Uluwatu-area dining, beach clubs
