The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Ambatia Beach is a bit of a flat spell. We're looking at a long stretch with no good surf on offer.
We kick off on Tuesday, the 25th of August, and honestly, it's a tough start. The water's sitting at a warm 86°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's the only bright spot. The swell is tiny, only 2ft out of the WNW with a short period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is weak at just 20. Winds are cross-on, making for poor conditions, and that pretty much sets the tone. You'll see days of similar dribble, with winds switching from cross to onshore, and the swell never really getting its act together. Even on Sunday the 30th, when the swell bumps up a touch to 3ft, the period is still short at 8 seconds, the energy is moderate at best (82), and the wind is onshore. It's all "poor surf conditions" according to the charts.
The first real glimmer is a ways off. By Wednesday morning, the 2nd of September, we get a glassy morning with a tiny 2ft swell. But it's small and weak, with a 6-second period. The next Saturday morning, the 5th of September, actually offers up a glassy, flat calm morning with a 2ft, 7-second swell – still weak energy at 43, but in the dead calm, it might give up a few crumbly ones for a longboard.
The absolute best of a mediocre bunch looks to be Sunday morning, the 6th of September. We have glassy conditions and a 3ft swell from the WNW with a 7-second period. The combined energy is still only moderate at 51. It's a clean, small morning that should provide some gentle, rideable waves for beginners. Just don't expect any power.
Overall, if you're looking to paddle out, pick one of those glassy mornings and manage your expectations. For the rest of the time, the onshore winds and tiny swell make it a better bet for kite surfing than a proper paddle session.
Stay patient,
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.
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.
