Bennion Beach Cleggies Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

We’ve got a window opening up at Bennion Beach Cleggies, a reef setup that’s pretty exposed to the swell but can be a bit inconsistent. It’s a spot that doesn’t pump all the time, so when it lines up, you gotta be on it.

The water temp is feeling about average for this time of year, nothing wild to report.

The first real chance to get wet kicks off on the morning of the 11th. We’re looking at a clean 4.6ft swell from the WSW, with a long period of 14 seconds and a moderate breeze coming from the NNE—that’s a cross-off wind, keeping things tidy. The energy is pumping at 1619 (moderate wave energy), so there’s some push. It’s a bit marginal, but for a Friday morning session, it’s worth a paddle out. The afternoon turns a bit messy with a cross-on wind, so hit it early.

Saturday the 12th is a write-off. The swell bumps up to 6.2ft and then 8.2ft, but the wind is onshore or cross-on, making it choppy and poor. Not worth your time.

Sunday the 13th stays a bit average. The morning is cloudy with a 5.9ft swell and onshore wind. The afternoon has some size at 7.2ft, but the cross-on wind keeps it choppy and messy. Still, a 16-second period means there’s a bit of groundswell in there, but the wind is the spoiler.

Now, Monday the 14th is a standout. The morning delivers a clean 8.2ft swell from the WSW, 14-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the east. The energy is 2392 (moderate wave energy) and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. This is a serious session for the crew who can handle it. The afternoon sees a cross-shore wind pick up, so keep it to the morning.

Tuesday the 15th is another cracker. The morning has rain showers, but the wind is offshore from the ENE, a gentle breeze, and the swell is 7.5ft from the WSW with a 14-second period. The energy is 2118 (moderate wave energy), and it’s clean. This is a top-tier morning. The afternoon has a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-off wind, but it stays clean, so there’s a chance for a good session if you dodge the rain.

Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th drop off. The swell eases to 5.2ft and then 4.3ft, with cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions. Not much to get excited about.

Friday the 18th is a mess. Fresh breeze, lumpy cross-chop, and a stormy risk. The swell is 4.3ft but the wind is 22 mph, making it unpleasant. The afternoon sees a 6.9ft swell but with a fresh cross-onshore wind, it’s lumpy and poor. Skip it.

Now, Saturday the 19th. This is a big one, but it’s for experts only. The morning has a massive 16.4ft swell from the WNW, a short period of 10 seconds, and the energy is 4437 (strong wave energy). The wind is light and onshore, but the size is too big for this break. The afternoon has a 13.1ft swell from the W, still too big. It’s a monster, but not for the faint-hearted.

Sunday the 20th comes back down. The morning has a 6.9ft swell, cross-on wind, and a 13-second period. The energy is 2261 (moderate wave energy), but the wind is messy. The afternoon is similar with a 7.2ft swell and gentle cross-onshore wind. It’s marginal.

Monday the 21st sees another big day. The morning is glassy with a 9.8ft swell from the WSW, 15-second period, and energy at 4288 (strong wave energy). The wind is glassy, but the size is too big for this break. The afternoon has the same 9.8ft swell but with a cross-on wind, again too big. Experts only.

Tuesday the 22nd is a chance for the brave. The morning has a clean 8.2ft swell from the WSW, 15-second period, and a moderate offshore breeze from the ESE at 16 mph. The energy is 2881 (moderate wave energy). It’s marginal but clean. The afternoon has a 7.9ft swell from the SW, still with a cross-off wind, but it’s clean.

Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th drop in size. The swell is 5.2ft to 3.6ft, but the wind is strong offshore, cleaning it up. Thursday afternoon sees a 5.2ft swell from the SW with a 16-second period and moderate offshore wind, putting it in the “expect very good surf” category. The energy is 1193 (moderate wave energy). This is a good window for a longboard or a fun shortboard.
