The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the table for this spot.
We’ve got a solid run of south-west groundswell lining up for Benete over the next couple of weeks. The water is sitting at 80°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so no nasty surprises there. Now, Benete is a reef and point setup that rarely breaks, so when it does, it grabs your attention. The swell direction is coming from the SSW and SW, which is bang on its optimum. The wave energy is hefty, with values often in the thousands, so there’s plenty of grunt in the water.
The standout window kicks off on Friday, the 7th of August. Friday afternoon is the pick of the early days. We’re looking at a clean 8ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, and the wind is a light cross-offshore breeze. That’s a recipe for some beautiful, lined-up waves peeling down the point. The energy is pumping at 3483, so you’ll feel the power. This is a solid expert-level wave, but for those with the skills, it’s going to be special.
The surf keeps pumping through the weekend, but the wind turns more cross and cross-on, making it a bit lumpier. The swell holds around 7ft to 8ft, but the conditions are more marginal. Nothing to write home about.
Then, we get another big pulse. Keep an eye on Thursday, the 13th of August. The morning sees a 10ft SSW swell with a 17-second period, and the energy is massive at 5248. The wind is light cross-on, so it’s not perfect, but the raw power is unbelievable. The afternoon cleans up nicely with a light cross-shore breeze and the same 10ft swell. That’s a serious session for the experienced crew.
Looking further ahead, the 19th and 20th of August show another strong push of SW swell, hitting 10ft again with long periods. The winds are light, so those afternoons could be absolute magic, but it’s a long way out, so we’ll see how it firms up.
Overall, Benete is a rarely-breaking jewel that’s going to fire a few times. The best windows are Friday afternoon the 7th and the afternoon of Thursday the 13th. Get on it if you can handle the size.

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.
