The Lowdown

Alright, let's talk about Benete. The water's warm, about 79°, pretty much normal for this time of year.

Wednesday afternoon gets us started with a 1.8m SW swell, 14-second period. There's a light cross breeze, so it's a bit bumpy. The energy is moderate at 1374, but it's not the cleanest.

Thursday brings a bit more size – 2.0m to 2.1m from the SSW – but the cross-onshore wind keeps it lumpy. Energy's building, 1705 to 1797, so there's some push, but you'll be dealing with the chop.

Now Friday the 18th, that's a good one. The swell drops to 1.6m to 1.5m SW, and the wind goes glass. The ocean is going to be smooth, clean, glassy. This is a standout for the week. The 14-second period gives the waves some purpose, and even though the energy drops to 959 and 881, the quality is top shelf. And Benete rarely breaks, so catching it this clean is special.

Saturday drops off to 1.2m and 1.1m, cross-shore breeze. Marginal.

Sunday picks back up, 1.9m to 2.1m from the SW, with a longer 16-second period. Energy jumps to 1955 and 2208, but the wind is back to cross and cross-on, so it’s not as clean.

Monday holds 1.8m to 1.9m, period drops to 14 seconds. Just okay.

Tuesday morning gets a bit windier with 1.4m, but the afternoon turns cross-off and clean at 1.3m. That’s a nice little window, energy at 991.

Now for the second week, things get interesting. Wednesday the 23rd brings a solid 2.2m from the SSW at 16 seconds. Energy jumps to 2389. Winds are light but cross-onshore in the morning, cleaner in the afternoon. It’s a bigger, more powerful swell, but still not perfect.

Thursday the 24th drops back to 1.7m and 1.6m. A bit of a lull.

Friday the 25th similar, 1.5m to 1.4m.

Saturday the 26th – watch the afternoon. Morning is small at 0.9m, but then it jumps to 1.9m from the SSW with a 21-second period. Energy spikes to 3723. That's a big groundswell, but wind is a bit cross-on.

Sunday the 27th is the big one. 3.0m of SSW swell, 18-second period, and the energy is massive – 6120 in the morning, 5163 in the afternoon. And the afternoon goes glassy. This is the standout of the whole forecast. But this is for experts only – 3.0m is serious. If you're not confident in heavy water, give it a miss. If you are, Sunday afternoon will be something else.

Monday the 28th backs off to 2.2m, still SW, 16 seconds, but the wind is messy again.

Tuesday the 29th drops to 1.9m from the SSW, 14 seconds, energy fades to around 1450.

Wednesday the 30th starts messy with 1.5m, but the afternoon cleans up to cross-off at 1.5m. That's a nice little session, energy at 1414.

Thursday the 1st of October brings another pulse – 2.0m to 2.2m from the SSW, 17-second period. Energy jumps to 2994 and 3190, but the winds are cross-on and choppy. Not the best conditions for that size.

So the real highlights are Friday the 18th for clean, fun waves, and Sunday the 27th for the big stuff – but that's for the experienced crew. The long-period swells are great for this point and reef setup.

Rusty out.

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.
