Bintangs is a surf spot that's often overlooked, making it a decent option when you're looking to escape the crowds. It tends to offer a manageable righthand wave, especially when conditions are right. Unlike the busier left across the bay, Bintangs has a laid-back vibe, but it doesn't always produce the best waves. It's not a huge swell spot, and that makes it more suitable for certain skill levels. When the surf is on, you can find some fun rides here.

The optimal swell direction for Bintangs is Southwest, but it can also handle swells coming from the South and West. The spot works best with swell sizes around 3 feet (about 0.9 meters). The waves break over live coral and are mostly righthanders, which are great for those with intermediate surfing skills. For the best conditions, you'll want to catch it during mid to high tide with a North wind. When it's on, you'll find a take-off barrel that transitions into a more playful wall, but it definitely won’t handle too much size.

While it's generally low key, be aware that the spot can get crowded when nearby Lances is blown out. So, if you're looking for a less hectic session and the conditions are right, Bintangs could be worth a shot. Just keep in mind that it's not always a sure thing, and having some flexibility with your surf plans can help you score the best waves.
