Right, let’s talk it out in feet and miles per hour for those who think that way.

Benete is a reef and point break, and it’s a spot that only breaks once in a blue moon. That’s just how it is. It’s for advanced surfers, no messing around. Water’s about average for this time of year, nothing weird.

First few days are rough. Tuesday the 7th gives you waves around 5ft from the SSW, but the wind is cross-shore at 12-15 mph. It’s choppy, the energy is weak (989-1003), and you’re better off doing something else.

Wednesday the 8th picks up – 6ft to 7ft, with a 15-second interval. Good groundswell, moderate energy (1869-2082), but the cross-shore wind is still ruining it. Thursday and Friday stay similar: waves around 6ft to 7ft, long period, but the wind keeps the surface messy.

The first glimmer comes Saturday the 11th afternoon. Swell drops to 5ft from the SW, and the wind turns cross-offshore at 9 mph. The energy is moderate (957), but the wave face cleans right up.

But the real winner is Sunday morning, the 12th of July. Glassy conditions, a 3 mph ESE breeze, and the swell is a tidy 3ft from the SW with a 14-second period. The energy is moderate (476), and the surface will be like a mirror. For a break that rarely breaks, this is the one to circle.

After that, Monday the 13th afternoon has a tiny 2ft swell but an insane 21-second period. Very long, very clean – could be a fun little wave if it connects.

Through the second week (July 14th – 19th), the swell stays alive, from 4ft to 6ft. The wind stays mostly cross or cross-off, so it’s okay but not epic. Thursday the 16th morning has a 5ft SSW swell with a light 3 mph breeze – not bad.

Honestly, the cross-shore wind is the enemy here most days. For a reef point with long-period swell, you need it clean. The best windows are Sunday the 12th morning (glassy) and Saturday the 11th afternoon (clean). This ain’t for beginners – anything over 5ft here is expert territory. Since it rarely breaks, you gotta be patient. But those two sessions are your best bets.

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.
