The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here again. Let's break down Benete for the next couple weeks. This reef and point joint rarely breaks, so when it's on, you drop everything and go.
Water temp’s sitting around 80°F right now—about average for September, no drama. The first real swell hits on Thursday afternoon, September 10th. We’ve got a clean 7ft SSW swell with a super long 16-second period. The wave energy is cranking (2403), and a light ESE breeze keeps the surface clean. This spot is *rarely breaks*, so that alone makes it special.
For the absolute best session of the whole run? Lock in Sunday afternoon, September 13th. Swell pulses to 7ft from the SW, period hits 17 seconds, and the energy blows up to 2867. Winds go light cross-off from the ESE, meaning smooth, glassy faces. This is the one—big, clean, and powerful. Only for the gunners.
Friday afternoon, September 11th and Monday afternoon, September 14th are also strong, with 6ft SW swells and clean cross-off winds. Really nice conditions for a proper session.
A little lull creeps in around the 15th and 16th. Surf drops, energy fades, and winds go more cross or cross-on. A couple days there where it’s better to stay on the beach.
Then Sunday, September 20th brings it back—a fresh 6ft SW swell with 16-second period and 2176 energy. Winds are cross-on, so not perfect, but there will be rideable waves.
Further out, Wednesday, September 23rd and Friday, September 25th see the swell climb back over 7ft, but a gentle cross-on breeze makes it a bit bumpy. Worth checking back on.
Heads up: with periods regularly over 15 seconds, that groundswell will have serious push and long gaps between sets. On a reef and point like Benete, that’s a dream—clean, organized lines. But if the swell tops 8ft, it’s expert territory. No place for beginners.
This is a rare-break spot, so when the stars align, you gotta go. Sunday the 13th is your best bet.
Stay salty,
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.
