The Lowdown
Alright, this is a rough one to call. Gotta be straight with you – for the next couple of weeks, Ambatia Beach is just not doing us any favours. It’s a sheltered spot that rarely breaks anyway, and this forecast is a long, flat stretch of nothing special. The water’s sitting at a warm 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only highlight.
We’re looking at a solid 16-day period with basically no real surf. The first two weeks of the outlook are a total write-off. From Friday the 14th all the way through to the end of the month, it’s just poor surf conditions day after day. The swell is tiny – mostly around 1.0ft to 3ft – and that combined energy is weak, barely cracking 100 (like 29 or 56) for most of it. The period is short too, around 5 to 8 seconds, which means no real push or shape.
There’s a brief moment on Sunday the 16th morning where the swell hits 3ft and the energy climbs to 128 (moderate), but the wind is cross-on and the forecast calls it marginal at best. It’s not enough to get excited about. After that, it’s back to tiny, weak, and mostly onshore or cross-on winds. The wind is never favourable for long – mostly onshore from the west or northwest, or cross-on, which just chops up what little bump there is.
The only small glimmer comes at the very end of the month. On Friday the 28th of August morning, we get a glassy window with the wind going dead calm – 1ft from the NW, period 6 seconds, energy a measly 8. Still tiny. Then again on Saturday the 29th morning, it’s flat calm, 2ft from the WNW, period 6 seconds, energy 28. Glassy conditions are a major positive, but the swell is just too small and weak to make it worth a paddle. It’s a lake out there.
Honestly, this stretch is a classic for the area when it goes quiet. It doesn’t look like it’s going to turn around anytime soon. If you’re desperate for a splash, the 29th morning might offer a few knee-high ripples with no wind, but don’t hold your breath. Otherwise, it’s a good time to check the wax stash or go for a swim.

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.
