Bennion Beach Cleggies Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s coming up for Bennion Beach Cleggies. This is a reef break that’s fairly exposed to the swell, and it’s one of those spots that needs the right key to unlock it. The water is sitting at 65°, which is pretty much dead average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.

The story starts with a big, powerful pulse of WSW swell arriving on Wednesday the 26th, with a period of 18 seconds and a solid 12 ft of swell. The combined energy is massive at 7956, but honestly, this is a case of too much of a good thing. The wave comment says it’s predicted to be too big for this break, and with a cross-on wind from the NW, it’s going to be a messy, lumpy affair. Thursday and Friday are a write-off with strong, lumpy cross-shore winds and poor surf conditions, so you’re better off sitting those out.

The first real standout comes on Saturday the 29th. The morning shows a clean 3 ft of WSW swell, but the real magic is Saturday afternoon. You’ve got a 6 ft groundswell, 19-second period, and offshore winds from the ESE. The combined energy is 2266, and the wave comment says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” This is a long-period swell, and on a reef setup, that’s a beautiful thing. It’s a standout for sure.

The absolute best of the run is Sunday the 30th. Sunday morning has 7 ft of WSW swell, 18-second period, and cross-offshore winds from the ENE. The energy is 4159, and it’s clean. Then Sunday afternoon? Glassy. Zero wind, 7 ft of swell, 17-second period. The wave comment says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” This is the pick of the whole forecast. This is the session you want to be on.

After that, Monday the 31st through most of the following week is a lot of marginal to poor conditions. The wind swings cross-on and the swell drops off, but with Yep, there’s a flicker of hope on Sunday the 6th of September. The morning shows 7 ft of WSW swell, 13 seconds, and cross-offshore winds from the NE. The wave comment says “expect very good surf conditions.” It’s not as powerful as the earlier standouts, but the energy is moderate at 1329, and the wind is clean. It’s a promising long-range option, but keep in mind it’s a week and a half out, so don’t lock it in yet.

The rest of the second week is mostly choppy, cross-on, or onshore wind, with a few points of light cross-off. The sets are there, but the quality is just not there. For the most part, this is a one-weekend show.

Rusty.
