Table - best surf conditions forecast for Benete over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let's take a look at what's coming for Benete. This is a reef and point that hardly ever breaks, so when there's a pulse of swell, you've got to be ready to move. It's an advanced wave, not for beginners, and the crowd can show up when it's working.
The start of the run is a bit disappointing. Tuesday the 8th has some 5ft to 6ft SSW swell, but with a cross-onshore wind, the surface is going to be chopped up. The wave energy is strong, but the conditions just aren't doing it any favors. Wednesday the 9th pushes up to 8ft, but again, the cross-onshore wind makes it messy. That's a lot of water, but the wind will spoil the shape.
Now, the weekend is where the story changes. Saturday the 12th, a slight easterly breeze gives us some clean, cross-offshore wind in the afternoon. The swell drops back to a more manageable 5ft, with a 14-second period, and the wave energy is moderate. It's not the biggest, but it's clean and you could snag some fun ones. That's a bright spot.
However, the real standout is later. Sunday the 13th afternoon, again with that light easterly cross-offshore wind, the swell bumps up to 7ft from the SW with a 17-second period. That is very long-period groundswell, and for a reef and point like Benete, that's exactly what you want. The wave energy is strong. This is proper, clean, powerful surf for the experienced crew. That's your best window.
Monday the 14th afternoon and Wednesday the 16th morning also see clean conditions with light winds, and solid 6ft swell, offering more good opportunities for those who know the spot.
After that, things quieten down. The swell drops and the winds stay mostly cross or cross-on through the middle of the month. Then around the 20th, we get another clean afternoon on the Sunday, with 6ft SW swell and a nice offshorer. The very end of the run on the 22nd and 23rd sees a huge spike in energy with solid 7ft to 7ft swell, but the wind turns cross-on again, so it'll be bumpy.
The water temp is about 79°, which is normal for this time of year, nothing unusual.
So, to sum it up: if you're an experienced surfer and this is your spot, circle Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th for the best chance at some memorable waves. It's rare to get a run this good here, so be ready to pounce.

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.
