The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Benete. This is a reef and point set-up that rarely breaks, so when it does, you’ve got to be ready. The forecast shows a solid run of swell, but the wind is a bit of a letdown for most of it.
The first real swell shows up on the 5th, with a SSW swell pushing 6 ft and a period of 14 seconds. The combined energy is pumping at 1391 (moderate), but the wind is cross-on from the south at 9 mph, making it choppy. The water temperature is 80°, which is bang on average for this time of year. It’s not great, but there’s size.
The same story runs through the first week: plenty of swell, between 5 ft and 8 ft, but the wind hangs in that cross-on zone, killing the quality. The real standout comes on Sunday the 13th. The afternoon session sees a 8 ft SW swell with a long 18-second period, combined energy over 3500 (strong), and the wind switches to a light cross-off from the ESE at 6 mph. That’s clean. The description says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers” – and that’s the truth. With that size and period, it’s a big wave day for advanced surfers only. The swell direction is SW, matching the optimum direction for this break. Crowds are possible here, so expect some company.
Another good one to eye is Thursday the 17th afternoon: 6 ft SSW swell, 14-second period, cross-off wind from the ESE, and combined energy at 2433. Clean again. Then Friday the 18th afternoon looks similar with 7 ft and 17-second period, cross-off, and energy over 2200. Both are solid for experienced surfers.
The very last day, Sunday the 20th afternoon, has a 7 ft SW swell, 16-second period, and glassy conditions. That’s a rare treat. The wind is glass, which means perfect, clean faces. The combined energy is 2065 (strong). This is your best bet if you can hold out.
If you’re a beginner, the swell is over 5 ft most days, and often over 8 ft at times, so this is really for the experienced crew. The short answer: hang tight for the 13th, 17th, 18th, or the 20th afternoon. The rest is wind-affected and not worth the paddle.
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.
