Bennion Beach Cleggies Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let's chew the fat on what's coming.

So we've only got the one break in the picture for the whole run, Bennion Beach Cleggies. It's a reef set-up, and it loves a WSW swell. The water's sitting at 63°F, which is a bit nippier than average for the calendar, so factor that in. It's an inconsistent wave, so you'll be working for 'em, not just taking a number.

We get the ball rolling on Sunday, August 2nd. The morning sees a clean 7ft swell out of the WSW with a 14-second pause between sets. There's a cross-off breeze from the ENE at 16 mph, so the face is tidy. The combined energy is strong at 1662, so there's some real grunt in the water. The afternoon is even sweeter; the wind drops to a light 6 mph from the NE, still cross-off, with a 7ft swell. That's your top-shelf window for the first week. Just know that crowds are a common theme, so you'll have company.

Monday, August 3rd, we drop to a smaller 5ft swell, and a cross-shore wind from the north at 12 mph will chop it up a little. It's doable. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-onshore from the NNW at 16 mph – that's a kite session if anything.

The second week has a few gems. The clear standout is the morning of Sunday, August 9th. We're looking at a clean 8ft groundswell from the WSW with a 15-second period, paired with a light 6 mph cross-off breeze from the ENE. That is going to be a session for the experienced crowd, no doubt. Another beauty is Saturday morning, August 15th. A 7ft WSW swell with a gentle 9 mph offshore breeze from the east. Glassy. Then the next morning, Sunday, August 16th, is similar – 7ft swell with light offshore airs.

Now, from August 4th through to the 7th, the swell gets too big for the spot. We're talking 8ft to 13ft. The energy readings are massive, one hitting 13553, but that's expert territory or a kite-fest. The wind is no help either, so give it a miss. Late in the forecast, on Monday afternoon, August 17th, we see another 10ft pulse, but the wind is offshore, so if you're an absolute charger and the tide lines up, you might get a look, but it's a long way out.

To boil it down: your true standouts are the Sunday, August 2nd afternoon glass and the Sunday, August 9th morning session. Everything else is either a compromise or a skip. Pick your moments when the wind goes offshore and the swell sits in the sweet spot.

Rusty.
