Bennion Beach Cleggies Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming up at Bennion Beach Cleggies. This is a reef break, and it's an inconsistent one, so when it gets going, it's a real gem. The water temperature is about what you'd expect for this time of year.

We've got a solid pulse of long-period groundswell from the WSW hitting on Tuesday the 7th. The swell is a legit 8ft with a 16-second period, packing a massive 3170 of energy. That's a lot of power. The morning is the time to go with a light offshore breeze from the east, making it clean. This is big, expert-only territory. The afternoon gets a cross-shore wind, so the quality drops.

Wednesday the 8th morning is still going off, with a clean 5ft swell from the WSW and a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy is still high at 2061. It's a bit smaller, but still a proper wave. The afternoon gets messy with onshore wind.

Thursday the 9th is a washout with onshore wind and rain showers. The swell is there, but the quality is poor.

Friday the 10th morning is a good one. The swell drops to 5ft, but it's clean with a light offshore breeze and 690 energy. The wave size is more manageable for a wider range of surfers, and the conditions will be clean. The afternoon is a no-go with strong cross-shore wind.

Saturday the 11th morning repeats the formula: clean, 4ft, light offshore, and 793 energy. It's a fun, smaller day. The afternoon gets blown out again.

Sunday the 12th is a beauty. The morning has a gentle offshore breeze and a 5ft swell from the SW with 1293 energy. The afternoon is even better – glassy and clean with a light cross-offshore breeze and a 5ft swell. This is a standout day for the weekend. Crowds are possible here, but it's worth it.

Monday the 13th morning is the absolute standout of the whole run. We're looking at a 8ft groundswell from the SW with a 17-second period and a massive 2864 energy. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze, keeping it clean. This is an expert wave, but it's going to be pumping. The afternoon gets a cross-shore wind, so get in early.

Tuesday the 14th is another solid day. The morning has a clean 6ft swell with a light cross-offshore breeze. The afternoon is glassy with a 6ft swell - perfect conditions for a late session, and the energy is still strong at 1251.

Wednesday the 15th is a write-off with strong cross-shore winds.

Thursday the 16th is a mess with a strong onshore wind and rain.

Friday the 17th is too big. The swell hits 10ft and the wind is cross-shore, but the forecast says it's just too much for this break.

Saturday the 18th is a write-off with onshore winds.

Sunday the 19th morning is a nice little finisher, with a clean 4ft from the WSW and a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy is 768. It's small, but it's clean.

After that, there's a few days of poor conditions and onshore winds, so the window closes for a bit. The best bets are the morning sessions on Sunday the 12th and Tuesday the 14th, with Monday the 13th morning being the one for the experienced crew.

Rusty.
