The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for our little corner of the world. It's a slow starter, but there's a real gem waiting for us if we're patient.
Right now, we're looking at a bit of a flat spell to kick things off. There's not much to get excited about for the next few days. The swell that's showing is pretty weak and mixed up, with a lot of cross-shore wind messing with the face. Benete, a reef and point set-up that rarely breaks, is the only game in town. But for the first week or so, it's mostly marginal surf with poor conditions. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
We've got a long, drawn-out wait, but things start to look up towards the end of the month. The real standout, the session you want to circle on your calendar, is shaping up for Sunday, August 2nd. The morning is where it's at – glassy conditions with a light SSW wind, almost no breeze at all. The swell is a solid 6 ft from the SW, with a long 16-second period. That's proper groundswell energy, 1882 on the energy scale, so there's some real push behind it. This is the best offer by a long shot. Benete is a reef and point, so that long period will wrap in nicely. The only word of caution: this spot rarely breaks, so if it's on, it's a rare treat. Also, crowds are possible, so get in early.
Before that, July 31st (Friday) afternoon is a decent warm-up. Clean conditions, light 10 km/h cross-offshore breeze, with a 4 ft SW swell at 17 seconds. Energy is 1126, making for some clean, lined-up waves. It's not as big, but it'll be fun.
After that peak on the 2nd, there's still some solid swell hanging around into the first week of August. The Monday 3rd has 7 ft SSW swell, but winds are a bit more onshore, so it won't be as clean. That swell size is getting up there, so it'll be pushing into expert territory.
So, to sum it up: don't bother paddling out until late in the month. The real gold is the glassy morning of Sunday, August 2nd at Benete. That's the one.

Information about the Benete Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Benete provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Benete can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Benete surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Benete) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Benete may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Benete is 55 km (34 miles) from the city of Praya. If you plan a holiday in Sumbawa, look for hotels and other accommodation in Praya. Praya has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
