Bennion Beach Cleggies Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your board, let's have a look at the coming swell window for Bennion Beach Cleggies. It's a reef setup, and it's inconsistent, so when it turns on, it's a bit of a gem.

We've got a bit of a slow start, but things clean up nicely. The real standout is going to be Monday, July 20th. We're looking at a solid 5ft of WSW groundswell, with a long period of 13 seconds. The wind is dead calm, glassy as a mirror. It's going to be absolutely perfect, clean surf. The swell energy is moderate (822), so there's plenty of push. It's a little on the bigger side, maybe not for total beginners, but anyone with a bit of experience will love it.

The run of good conditions continues. Tuesday, July 21st morning has a clean 5ft swell from the SW with a light offshore breeze. Wednesday, July 22nd is looking prime too, with offshore winds all day and a clean 5-5ft SW swell. Thursday, July 23rd and Friday, July 24th drop off a bit in size, but remain clean with cross-offshore winds, offering some fun, smaller waves.

Then the wind gets messy for the weekend, with onshore and cross-shore winds making things choppy. Not great.

We do get a nice reset on Monday, July 27th. Clean morning with a 6ft SW swell and a gentle cross-offshore breeze. The energy is strong (1170), and the waves should have some real push.

Looking further ahead to the end of the month, there's a big one lurking. Friday, July 31st morning is a serious standout. We're looking at a 7ft WSW groundswell with a very long period of 17 seconds and glassy conditions. The swell energy is cranked up to 2563, which is strong. This is a powerful, long-period groundswell. For a reef break like this, it's going to be clean and lined up. It's a bigger wave, best left for the experienced crew.

Now, be careful with the first of August. The forecast is showing a massive 16ft swell from the west with a short period of 11 seconds. The energy is extreme (5582), but the system is calling it too big for this break. That's a word to the wise – it'll be a washing machine, not a wave. The same goes for the 2nd and 3rd of August, with 10ft and 7ft swells that are still considered too big or marginal.

The water temperature feels about what you'd expect for this time of year.

So, to sum it up: the best window is Monday, July 20th through Wednesday, July 22nd, with Monday morning being the absolute pick. Keep an eye on Friday, July 31st morning for a big, clean groundswell for the experienced boys. The rest of the time, there's fun surf to be had, but you'll need to pick your sessions.
