The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I’ve been through what’s cooking at Ambatia Beach, and mate, it’s a quiet spell. We’ve got a full 16-day run from Monday the 31st of August right through to Tuesday the 15th of September, but the waves are just not showing up. The water’s sitting around 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s more of a swim than a surf.
Kicking off Monday afternoon the 31st, we’ve got a tiny 3ft swell out of the WNW with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 77, and the wind is blowing onshore at 12 mph from the WNW. It’s poor, flat, and no quality to grab. Tuesday morning the 1st of September is glassy with about 3ft of swell, but the energy is only 59 and the period is short, so it’s gutless. This pattern repeats every day through the first week: tiny waves, short periods mostly between 6 and 7 seconds, and onshore or cross-onshore winds making it messy.
Even the glassy mornings – Wednesday the 2nd, Monday the 7th, Friday the 11th, and Saturday the 12th – are let down by swell that barely reaches 2ft to 3ft. The energy values stay weak, rarely hitting triple digits until Thursday the 10th of September, when we finally see a combined energy of 131 for the morning and 101 for the afternoon, with the swell bumping up to 3ft and 3ft. That’s moderate energy, but the period is still a short 8 seconds, and the wind is cross-shore or onshore, so it’s not clean. Just a tease.
There are no standouts. The whole 16-day forecast is one long run of poor conditions. As we get into the second week, it’s the same story: tiny swell, short periods, and mostly unfavourable winds. If you’re after a paddle, you’ll be on a flat lake most days. This setup, with low-energy, short-period swell and consistent onshore flow, looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if the wind picks up. For a wave, it’s a blank run. The spot rarely breaks, and this forecast proves it.
Keep an eye on those glassy mornings, but don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can shift, but right now, there’s nothing worth getting wet for.
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.
