The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming for Benete over the next couple of weeks.
First up, the water is sitting at a pretty standard 80°, right on the money for what we expect this time of year, so no drama there.
We've got a long stretch of solid swell headed our way, but the wind is going to be the deciding factor. For the bulk of the first week and a half, we're looking at a persistent cross to cross-onshore breeze, which will keep things a bit choppy and rippled. The wave energy is strong, regularly hitting 2000 to 4000+ (moderate to very strong energy), but the quality will be held back.
There are a few clean windows to get excited about. The first real standout is Wednesday, 12 August. The afternoon session looks like a beauty with a 6ft SSW groundswell (16-second period) and a light cross-offshore wind. The energy is still moderate (1813), but the conditions will be clean. It's one for experienced surfers, and remember, this spot *rarely breaks*, so when it does, you get in the water.
Another good one is on Monday, 17 August. The afternoon drops a touch to a 5ft SSW swell, but with a light cross-offshore wind again, making for some very good surf.
Looking into the second week, the pick of the bunch is Tuesday, 18 August. The morning is glassy with a 5ft SW swell (16-second period). That's your premium, clean session. Then on Friday, 21 August, you've got another glassy morning with an 8ft SW swell – that's a big, powerful groundswell. That's strictly for the experts, but if you're up for it, it could be the session of the trip.
From the 22nd onward, the wind gets messy again, but there's always something to ride. The energy stays moderate to strong.
Crowds do turn up at Benete sometimes, so don't be surprised if you've got company on those good days.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
