The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Benete for the next couple of weeks.
Water temp is about 80°F, which is normal for the season, nothing to worry about.
Benete is a reef and point that rarely breaks, so when it gets going, it’s a special thing. The main action starts on Saturday the 1st of August with a long period groundswell out of the SSW, with periods around 16 to 17 seconds. That’s classic reef and point swell.
The big standout is Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning is glassy, no wind, with a 7ft SSW swell and the combined energy hitting 2040 (moderate to strong). The afternoon stays clean with a light offshore breeze. This is for experienced surfers only—over 5ft and heading to 7ft means it’s not for the beginners.
Monday the 3rd is another cracker, with a glassy morning and 6ft SSW swell, still clean. Tuesday morning also shapes up with glassy conditions and 6ft swell.
From Tuesday afternoon onward, the wind starts to mess things up with cross-on conditions, and the swell builds to 7ft to 8ft. By Friday the 7th, we’re looking at 8ft SSW swell, but with more wind and chop, so the quality drops. Over 8ft is only for experts.
After that first week, there’s a stretch of windy, choppier days. The swell is still big (energy numbers from 3000 to 5000+), but it’s not the clean, glassy magic we had.
Looking ahead to the second week, Sunday the 16th of August shows promise with a glassy afternoon and 7ft SSW swell, energy at 2589. It’s a decent option, but it’s a long way off, so don’t lock it in just yet.
Crowds are “sometimes” at Benete, and on those glassy days, expect a few other folks in the water.
The top pick: Sunday the 2nd of August, morning session. Glassy, clean, 7ft SSW groundswell with a long period. That’s the one to chase.
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.
