The Lowdown
IMPERIAL
Alright folks, let's talk about Ambatia Beach. Straight up, the 16-day window is a total washout for paddle surfing. I wouldn't bother grabbing your board. The energy just isn't there.
Looking at it day by day, starting from the 29th of August, we’ve got a bit of swell, around 2ft, but it's coming from the WNW with a short period of just 7 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 75, and that 19 mph cross-on wind from the WSW is going to make it messy and lumpy. It's just not worth it.
The 30th sees a little bump up to 5ft, with energy hitting 313, so there's something there, but again, the wind is cross-on and the period is still a short 8 seconds. It's going to be a choppy, bumpy mess. Not the clean lines we're after.
Honestly, from there it just gets smaller and sadder. Most days we're looking at knee-to-waist high slop, with combined energy barely cracking three digits. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 86°, but that doesn't help the surf.
There are a few moments of glass, like the morning of the 3rd of September, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft with 6-second period. You could maybe bob around on a foamie, but that's about it. We see a couple more glassy mornings on the 7th, 10th, and 12th, but the swell is just as weak.
For two weeks straight, there’s no one day that stands out. The swell direction never matches the optimum from the West, and the period is consistently short. This is a sheltered spot and it just can't get any love. Honestly, with these small, onshore conditions, this setup looks way more interesting for a kite surfer than someone with a paddle. A blank run like this is just how it goes here sometimes.
Don't hold your breath on the forecast changing. For now, it's a solid "stay home" call.

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.

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.
