Table - best surf conditions forecast for Benete over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s talk Benete straight up – a reef-and-point break that almost never breaks, so when it does, you better be ready. First few days? Nothing doing. Cross-shore wind, marginal conditions, and some okay energy but not clean.
Thursday the 29th and Friday the 30th – 4ft of SSW swell, mix of cross wind, combined energy between 746 and 1123 – don’t bother.
Saturday the 31st and Sunday the 1st of August – still small, 4ft to 5ft, still light cross-on. Not worth the paddle.
Sunday the 2nd of August morning is the one. 7ft of SSW swell, 16-second period, glassy. Combined energy hits 2045, and it’s *excellent for experienced surfers*. This is the standout. Long-period groundswell on a reef – it’ll be lined up and hollow. Rarely breaks, so if it goes, you’ll have a quiet crowd but get there early.
Monday the 3rd morning keeps it glassy, 6ft, 15-second period, energy around 1276. Next best.
From Tuesday the 4th it’s back to marginal, cross or cross-on winds, size bouncing from 6ft to 8ft. Thursday the 6th afternoon has a clean cross-off with 7ft and 16 seconds, energy at 2535, another excellent for experts, but it’s bigger and wind is a factor.
By the 10th of August Monday we’re at 8ft with cross-on, and the quality drops. The second week is mostly moderate cross-shore chop with high energy but messy.
Stick to Sunday the 2nd of August morning – glass, solid size, and a break that only lights up once in a while. That’s your day.
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.
