The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell ya how it's looking for the next stretch. My name's Rusty, and I've been watching this lineup for years.
Right off the bat, we've got a bit of a slow start. Don't expect much from Tuesday the 21st or Wednesday the 22nd. The swell is there, but it's messy, with a cross-shore breeze and the wave comment is outright saying it's a poor or marginal situation. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Saturday morning, July 25th. We've got a 4 ft SSW groundswell with a decent 15-second period pushing in. The combined energy is strong (1479), but the wind is a gentle cross-shore, so it'll be a bit bumpy. It's a reef and point break, so that long period will actually wrap in nicely. It's a "rarely breaks" spot, so when it's on, it's a true treat. Expect a few folks out, but not a circus.
Then, hang on to your board. The real standout is shaping up for Thursday, July 30th. The morning is looking prime: glassy conditions, a light NW wind, and a solid 4 ft SSW groundswell with a 15-second period. That's clean, long lines heading for the reef. The combined energy is right up there (1453), and the forecast is calling it excellent for experienced surfers. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The afternoon stays glassy with a NE breeze, still very good.
The next big one to watch is further out, on Tuesday, August 4th. The afternoon session is looking like a proper bomb. We're talking a 7 ft SSW groundswell with an 18-second period ripping in. The combined energy is massive (3575), and it's coming with a clean cross-offshore breeze. This is expert territory at that size, but for the crew who can handle it, it's gonna be a special session. The period is very long, so at this reef and point, it'll be organized and powerful.
Between the 31st and the 1st, there's a bit of a swell increase, but the wind gets a little onshore, so it's not as clean as that 30th or the 4th.
So, to sum it up: the best windows are the morning of Thursday, July 30th, and the afternoon of Tuesday, August 4th. The 30th is your clean, classic day, and the 4th is for the big wave chargers. The rest of the time, it's a bit of a mixed bag, but that's the nature of a spot that rarely breaks. When it does, it's worth the wait.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
