The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here with the real talk. We got ourselves a rough stretch of surf ahead. The next couple weeks are looking flat and junky, so don't get your hopes up. It's one of those times where the ocean just isn't cooperating.
The next week is a total write-off. You're looking at tiny, ankle-slap swell around 2 to 2 ft, with short periods and a lot of chop from onshore winds. The energy is weak, just a couple dozen points, so it's not worth the paddle. We see a tiny bump to about 3 ft on the 9th, but the wind is still messy and it's not going to be any good.
The second week, from the 10th to the 17th, is more of the same. Swell stays tiny, mostly under 2 ft, with weak, short-period leftover energy. The wind stays all over the place, and nothing lines up.
The only real light at the end of the tunnel is the morning of the 18th. We see the swell push back up to a solid 3 ft, with the energy climbing to 75. It's still not huge, but it's the best of the run. The wind is cross-shore, so it won't be perfect, but it's a start.
Then, on the morning of the 19th, things finally line up. The wind drops to nothing – total glass. We've got a clean 3 ft of west swell rolling in. The energy is moderate at 49. This is the standout.
For this one, we're looking at Ambatia Beach. This spot, a beach and reef setup, is one that rarely breaks, so when it does, you gotta take notice. It's sheltered, which helps, but the swell direction is slightly off its optimum. It's a beginner-friendly wave, and with this size, it's perfect for a longboard or a foamie.
The morning of the 19th is the time. The glassy conditions are a massive positive, making it the only clean surf in this entire forecast. It's not going to be pumping, but it'll be rideable and fun. Just remember it's a rare break, so if it's on, you're in for a treat.
So that's the story. A whole lot of nothing, with one decent morning at the very end. Keep your fingers crossed and check the buoys before you head out. Forecasts can change, but this is how it lays out right now.
Rusty out.

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.
