The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's check the surf at Ambatia Beach.
To be straight with you, it's looking like a quiet stretch. There's a long gap of no real surf right now until about the middle of next week. This spot is a sheltered beach and reef set-up that rarely breaks, so a blank spell like this is fairly normal around here. The water is sitting at 86°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year.
For the first handful of days, we've got tiny little ankle-snappers, under 3ft, with short periods around 5 to 6 seconds. The winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making for messy, choppy conditions. No good.
Monday the 14th, there's a brief moment where the wind goes glassy in the morning on a tiny 1ft swell. It'd look pretty as a picture, but there's just no juice to push a decent wave.
The most promising window looks like Friday the 18th. By the afternoon, the swell lifts to about 4ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds. That's the biggest bump in the forecast. The wind is onshore out of the WNW at 9 mph though, so expect bumpy, choppy faces. Not a standout by any stretch.
Saturday the 19th morning offers a glassy start on a 3ft WNW swell. It'll be clean looking, but again, not much power. By the afternoon the wind swings to a cross-onshore 16 mph from the NNW, messing it up.
Look, nothing in this 16-day window is a true standout. The only time the swell gets any real size is that Friday the 18th afternoon, but the onshore wind will kill the quality. For the dedicated, there might be a slim chance at a ride, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. The rest of the period stays small and messy, with poor surf conditions right through to the end. It's a tough stretch.
Rusty.

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.
