Surf Benete

Benete - Indonesia Benete features left-breaking waves over a coral reef with sharp rocks, creating a hollow big wave tube atmosphere. This fickle surf spot is accessible by boat or via a long, scary paddle from nearby Scars, requiring over 30 minutes of walking. It primarily works at high tide during rising tide conditions. Located just 5 km from a major port, Benete is sheltered yet can be inconsistent due to east trade winds. However, when the south or southwest swells arrive, it can produce rewarding waves for experienced surfers. The shallow reef beneath the cliffs demands caution, as currents and shifting peaks can pose challenges. With few surfers on weekdays and weekends, Benete offers a more secluded experience for those willing to navigate its unique conditions.
