Bennion Beach Cleggies Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Bennion Beach Cleggies.

Right off the bat, we've got some proper energy in the water, but the wind's not playing ball for the first session. It's gonna be a bit of a waiting game for the real good stuff. The water temp's sitting about 64°, which is just a touch below average for this time of year – nothing wild, just a little cooler than you might expect.

The first real highlight that has me excited is Monday morning, September 14th. We've got a clean 8ft groundswell from the WSW, with a nice long 14-second period. The wind is light and offshore from the east, which is going to keep the surface absolutely glassy. This is a proper session for experienced surfers – the swell's pushing into that expert territory, but with those conditions, it's going to be worth the paddle out.

Then, we get a run of clean waves through Tuesday the 15th. The morning kicks off with a moderate offshore breeze from the east at 12 mph, grooming that same solid 7ft WSW swell. The afternoon cleans up even more with a stronger ESE offshore. It's a solid, consistent run of quality waves for a couple of days there.

Wednesday morning the 16th is a step down in size to 5ft, but the wind is cross-offshore, keeping things tidy. Then the real gem of that day is the afternoon – the wind drops to a glassy 3 mph from the ENE. It's a smaller 4ft swell, but with a 14-second period, it's going to be incredibly clean and fun for someone who knows the break. The energy is lighter, but the quality will be high.

Now, we hit a rough patch from Thursday the 17th through to about Sunday the 21st of September. The wind goes onshore and choppy, and the quality drops right off. It's not worth paddling out for the most part. A few sessions on the 20th and 21st have some swell but the wind is just messing it up.

Things start to look promising again on Tuesday morning, September 22nd. We've got another glassy session – dead calm, 3 mph wind from the WSW – and a 5ft swell with good period. That's a window of very good surf for the early birds.

The standout of the whole forecast, if it holds, is Saturday the 26th of September. This is a massive call, so don't book your flights just yet, but the data is screaming potential. We're looking at a 10ft swell from the southwest with a very long period of 18 seconds. The combined energy is off the charts at 6164, which is serious power. The morning wind is a cross-offshore from the ENE, and the afternoon goes fully offshore from the east. The catch? The wave comment says it might be too big for this break. If it's on, it'll be a day for experts only – that's big, powerful groundswell. The period is so long that the sets will be widely spaced, but when they come, they'll have serious push. This is a point break or reef kind of swell, so Bennion Beach could handle it. This is the one to watch.

The following week tails off. The 27th and 28th have cleaner winds but the swell drops and eventually gets chopped up again. It's a mixed bag out there for the second week, with that Saturday being the only real stand-out potential.

Signing off, Rusty.
