Ambatia Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Ambatia Beach.

To be straight with you, this is a tough outlook. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a struggle. There are no real standouts, no days where everything lines up. It’s a long stretch of poor surf conditions, with a gap of nothing worthwhile right through until a little flicker of hope around Monday the 27th, and even that’s a stretch.

The first usable surf we see is on the morning of Sunday, 26 July. It’s a marginal call with a 3ft swell from the WNW, period of 7 seconds, and a light cross-onshore breeze. The energy is weak, coming in at just 108. It’s surfable, but you’ll be fighting small wind ripples. Not one to get excited about.

Then comes Monday morning, 27 July. This is probably the best of a very average bunch. The wind goes glassy, and the swell is 4ft from the WNW, period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 161. For a few hours, it’ll be clean. But don’t get too attached. The afternoon turns choppy again, and the rest of the week is a write-off.

After that, it’s back to poor conditions. The swell stays small, wind is mostly cross or onshore, and the energy stays low. The morning of Monday, 3 August has a brief moment of glassy conditions with a tiny 2ft swell from the NW, but with only 53 energy and a short period, there’s nothing to ride.

Ambatia Beach is a sheltered, beginner-friendly beach and reef setup that rarely breaks, and this forecast reflects that. It’s a spot that needs a specific swell, and it’s just not getting it. For a beginner, this is a good time to sit it out. For anyone else, there’s nothing here. No standout days, no decent swell direction, and the wind is almost always messy.

The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.

Honestly, this one’s a blank. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home.

Rusty.
