The Lowdown
Rusty here. Benete is a reef-and-point break that only wakes up once in a while – “rarely breaks” is the deal, so you gotta be on the pulse. The next couple weeks are hit-and-miss. From Sunday July 19 through Thursday July 24 it’s mostly small, cross-shore, and barely worth the walk. A few afternoon slots show cleaner wind, but the swell is tiny and energy stays low (combined energy in the 500–900 range). Then things change.
Sunday July 26 morning – standout. Glassy conditions – barely a whisper of wind from the SSE – and a solid 6.6 ft swell from the SE. The period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s not a groundswell, but that glassy surface will leave it clean. Energy is moderate at 1020. Crowds can show up sometimes, so get there early.
Friday July 31 afternoon – another gem. Clean cross-off breeze from the ESE, swell 3.6 ft from the SW with a long 18-second period. That’s real groundswell, and SW is the direction this break loves. Energy sits at 1086 – moderate but the quality will be dialed. This is the one to aim for.
Other bits: Saturday August 1 morning has 7.2 ft of SW swell with the same 18-second period, but the wind is cross-shore –

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.
