The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, converting the numbers for you. The only wave in the house is Benete, a reef and point for advanced surfers only. It’s a rare break, so the good days are precious. Water temp is 80°, dead average for now.
First real swell hits on Friday, August 28th, with an 8ft SW swell. That’s a lot of power, but the wind is cross-onshore making it choppy. Same story for Saturday with a 6ft SW swell. Not the cleanest.
The big standout is Tuesday, September 1st. Swell holds at 7ft from the SW, but the afternoon wind turns offshore from the ESE. That’s the golden window. Clean waves, and the combined energy is strong. For the advanced guys, this is the one. Crowds are possible.
Thursday, September 3rd is another solid look. A smaller 5ft SW swell, but with clean offshore ESE wind. Nice and tidy.
Monday, September 7th afternoon is the next one to watch. A 6ft SSW groundswell with a nice long period, and clean offshore ESE wind. Perfect for a point break.
As we hit Friday, September 11th, the afternoon session looks promising again with a 6ft SW groundswell and offshore wind. Excellent conditions for the experienced, but that’s way out in the forecast, so keep an eye on it.
After that, it gets small and choppy through the rest of the run. This break is a rare gem, so be patient and pick your days.
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.
