The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch isn’t about heroics. It’s about patience.
Ambatia Beach is a sheltered beach-and-reef setup, rarely breaking, and this 16-day window is a quiet one. The water temp is sitting at 82°F which is about 2°F above the norm for this time of year – a nice warm bath, but we’ll need more than that to get excited.
We’ve got a real gap on our hands. From Saturday the 18th right through to Friday the 24th, the swell is tiny and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore. There’s barely a ripple worth paddling for. The wave energy sits in the weak zone, with values like 26 (Saturday morning) and 32 (Saturday afternoon), and it stays that way – 16, 15, 6, 9, 17, 23, 22, 35, 41, 64 – all under 100. It’s a dry spell, and for a break that rarely breaks anyway, that’s not a surprise.
Now, Saturday the 25th of July is the only blip of interest. The morning shows a 4ft swell from the WNW with a 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 212 (moderate). That’s the biggest pulse we see. But here’s the letdown – the wind is cross (SSW at 6 mph), not offshore, and the wave comment says “poor surf conditions.” The swell is still under 5ft, so it’s not a problem for beginners, but the quality just isn’t there. The afternoon drops to 4ft with onshore wind, and the energy goes to 174. It’s the best on offer, but that’s not saying much.
After that, it’s back to small stuff. Monday the 27th has a brief moment of 3ft with 105 energy, but the wind is cross-on again. The rest of the week into August is a repeat of weak, short-period WNW swell in the 1ft to 2ft range, with wind mostly onshore or cross-on. The energy values are all under 100 – 67, 105 (that one’s just over), then 40, 62, 37, 31, 18, 26, 41, 27, 28, 36, 20, 17. Nothing to write home about.
If you’re a kite surfer, the breezy afternoons with onshore winds might offer something, but for paddle surfing, this is a big blank run. The setup is more suited to a session on a longboard when the wind glassed off, but we don’t get that here. That Saturday the 25th morning is the only standout, and it’s a weak one. I’d keep an eye on the forecasts – it tends not to stay this poor for long.
Rusty, signing off.

Information about the Ambatia Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ambatia Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ambatia Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ambatia Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Ambatia Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Ambatia Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Ambatia Beach is 0 km (0 miles) from the city of Netanya. If you plan a holiday in Tel Aviv and South, look for hotels and other accommodation in Netanya. Netanya has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
