The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about this 16-day stretch for Ambatia Beach – and it’s a grim one, mate. The whole forecast is flat, weak, and wind-affected. There’s no decent surf on offer. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is never working in your favour. You’re looking at a long run of blown-out, messy conditions.
The first day with any surf is Tuesday, 28 July, and it’s poor. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the WNW with a short period of 6 to 7 seconds, so it’s weak, sloppy, and the energy is a low 29 to 34 (moderate energy). The wind is cross-on or onshore from the WSW to WNW, so it’s choppy and ugly. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 84°, about 3° above average, which is notable but doesn’t help the waves.
Wednesday, 29 July, is worse – swell drops to 1 ft to 2 ft, period down to 5 seconds, energy is a pathetic 11 to 17. Cross or onshore wind means it’s just a chop fest.
Thursday, 30 July, sees a tiny bump to 3 ft, still with a 7-second period, and energy climbs to 66 (moderate energy). But the wind is cross-on from the SW in the morning and moderate cross-onshore from the NW in the afternoon. It’s messy.
This pattern repeats every day. Friday, 31 July, Saturday, 1 August, Sunday, 2 August… all the way through to Tuesday, 12 August. The swell never gets above 3 ft, the period rarely touches 7 seconds, and the wind is almost always onshore, cross-on, or cross-shore. The energy values are stuck in the low double digits or barely cracking 70 (moderate energy). There are a couple of glassy mornings on Friday, 7 August, and Saturday, 8 August, but with the swell at 2 ft to 2 ft and a 6-second period, it’s just flat, weak rolls – not worth paddling out.
The truth is, this spot is a sheltered beach-and-reef setup that rarely breaks, and with the swell coming from the WNW (not the optimum W), it’s just not working. The long-range glassy mornings (Friday 7 and Saturday 8 August) might be worth a look if you’re desperate, but don’t expect a wave. For the most part, the conditions are better for a kite session than a surf session, given the consistent onshore winds and small, weak swell.
Signing off, 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.
