About this Spot

Bingil Bay is a surf spot located in Queensland, Australia. This spot provides both left and right waves, making it accessible for surfers of all levels. The waves here are generally sloppy, and the spot sometimes breaks, with wave heights rarely exceeding 6 feet, even during stormy conditions or cyclones. The wave length is typically less than 50 meters, and the spot is often empty, providing a more solitary surfing experience. However, surfers should be cautious of the rocky seabed and the presence of sea urchins. Additionally, stingers are a concern, and wearing a stinger suit is advisable. There have been occasional sightings of crocodiles, so it’s important to stay vigilant. The beach itself is not the most picturesque, but it offers easy access for surfers. Nearby, Etty Bay is another surf spot to explore. When planning a surf session at Bingil Bay, it’s crucial to check the surf forecast and report for the latest conditions. Utilizing a map or webcam can help in assessing the surf before heading out. Always remember to respect the locals and adhere to surf etiquette, especially when the spot is crowded. Check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. Respect the locals.
