The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break it down.
Right off the bat, the water temp at Benete is 80°, which is about normal for this time of year.
This whole stretch is all about Benete. It’s a reef and point, set up for SW swell, and that’s exactly what we’re getting. Friday the 11th brings in a solid 6ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period. That’s serious long-period energy, 1875 combined energy (moderate to strong). The point should love that, but the cross-on wind will mess up the face a bit.
Saturday the 12th afternoon cleans up nice. The swell drops to a still fun 5ft, and the wind goes light cross-off. The report says "clean." That's the first real window of quality.
Sunday the 13th afternoon is the crown jewel of the first week. Swell jumps back to 7ft with a 17-second period, and combined energy hits 2869 (strong). Wind is light cross-off, and it's called "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." That’s your top pick. The point and reef will be absolutely perfect for that kind of power.
Monday the 14th afternoon also looks good – 6ft, clean, light cross-off – but Sunday is the one to aim for.
Mid-week gets a little scrappy with more onshore wind. Then, Saturday the 19th morning is a rare treat: the swell drops to 4ft, but the ocean goes dead glassy. If you want a flat, smooth paddle, that’s your moment.
The following Sunday the 20th afternoon shows another pulse of 7ft SW groundswell, carrying into Monday the 21st with similar size. The wind stays light, so that's a promising but longer-range bet. And the last weekend, Saturday the 26th, has a huge 18-second, 7ft SSW swell with 2792 energy, but the cross-on wind means you’ll be surfing through some bump for that power.
The best of the whole forecast: Sunday the 13th afternoon. Clean, solid 7ft SW groundswell with a 17-second period and light offshore wind. For experienced surfers only, that’s the session to plan your week around.
Keep in mind, Benete is a rarely breaks spot. Seeing this kind of run is a big deal. Don’t sleep on it.
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.
