The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming down the pipe for Benete over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a solid foundation of SW groundswell lining up, and this spot is built for it. The water’s sitting at a warm 80°F, which is right about average for the time of year. The standout window looks like Sunday the 13th, with a clean afternoon session. Swell will be a solid 7ft from the SW, with a long 17 seconds between waves – that’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy reading of 2875 (moderate to strong) backs it up. Winds go light offshore from the E, so expect some clean, lined-up sets. Just a heads up: Benete is a reef and point break that rarely breaks and is for advanced surfers only. That long period at a point means the waves should wrap in nicely, not close out.
Monday the 14th afternoon is the other real highlight. Similar deal – 6ft SW swell with a 16-second period, light offshore from the ESE, and a combined energy of 1577. It won’t be as powerful as Sunday, but it’ll still be clean and well-shaped. Crowds are possible here, so if you’re after a quieter peak, the morning slots are more crossed-up but still rideable.
From Tuesday the 15th through to the weekend of the 20th, we see a bit of a drop-off in quality. The swell hangs around 6ft to 7ft, but the winds tend to be cross or cross-on, adding a bit of texture to the surface. The combined energy dips into the 1000-1700 range, still moderate, but it’s not as tidy. Friday the 18th afternoon could be a sneaky call – glassy conditions and a 4ft swell (898 energy) – but the size is small and the period drops to 13 seconds.
Further out, into the week of the 21st, the swell stays consistent but the winds keep that cross-on bias. Monday the 21st afternoon looks promising with another glassy window and 5ft 14-second swell (1134 energy), but it’s still a long-range call with less certainty. The final weekend into the 28th shows 7ft+ SSW swell and moderate energy (1800-2400), but persistent cross-on winds will keep a bit of bump on the face. Not a write-off, but not the cleanest.
Overall, the best bet is Sunday 13th afternoon at Benete. Get on it.
Rusty.

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.
