The Lowdown
Alright legends, Rusty here, and I've been staring at this forecast for a while. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a couple of clear winners if you play your cards right. The main event is a solid stretch of SSW groundswell that's going to be pulsing through the whole period.
If you've got to pick one day, make it Wednesday the 5th. We're talking a solid 5ft of clean SSW groundswell, with a nice long 15-second period between sets. And the wind? Light, cross-offshore – that’s the magic recipe for a smooth face. The water will be like glass. That's your top pick, no question.
The few days after that, from the 6th to the 9th, are a bit more of a mixed bag. The swell is there, pushing 6-8ft, but the wind is more cross or cross-onshore, which will put a bit of a ripple on it. It'll still be surfable, but it won't be the clean conditions we really crave. And remember, this spot doesn't break all that often, so you've got to seize the moment.
Then we've got another promising window next week. Look at Thursday the 13th. The afternoon session is looking clean, with a good 7ft of SSW swell and a light cross-offshore breeze. This will be another day for the experienced crew to get some proper waves. The following day, Friday the 14th, has a similar look to it with a bit more wind, but the Thursday looks like the more solid bet of the two.
The last few days from the 15th onward get a bit trickier. The swell stays in the water, with some bigger pulses, but the winds start to get up and it'll be harder to find a clean one. I'd be less inclined to make plans that far out, as it's more of a lottery.
So, two standout windows: the 5th and the 13th. Mark them on your calendar, check the buoys in the morning, and be ready.
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.
