The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, switching to imperial for you. Let’s run through this same stretch.
So, looking out over the next 16 days, we’ve got a long, dry spell ahead. The first surf that’s even worth a mention doesn’t show up until Sunday, August 30th. That’s a whole lot of flat and useless water between now and then. Swell is tiny, winds are ugly, and every report says poor conditions. Don’t bother paddling out.
The only break we’ve got to talk about is Ambatia Beach. It’s a sheltered beach and reef setup that rarely breaks, so when it does, it’s a little event. The water temp is a warm 86°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for the season.
Finally, on Sunday morning the 30th, we see a WNW swell push through at about 3ft with an 8-second period and a combined energy of 112 – that’s moderate juice. Wind is cross-shore from the SSW at 16 mph, so it’s got a bit of chop but it’s not blown out. By the afternoon, the swell builds to 4ft, energy jumps to 183, but the wind shifts to the WSW at 16 mph, still cross-onshore and a bit bumpy.
Your best bet is Monday morning the 31st. The swell holds steady at 4ft from the WNW, with an 8-second period and solid 216 energy. Winds drop to a light 6 mph from the SSW, keeping it cross-shore, and the sky has some clouds. This is the cleanest window you’re gonna get. The afternoon drops in energy to 172 and the wind turns onshore from the WNW, so it gets messy quick.
For beginners, the size around the 30th and 31st is fine – under 5ft – so it’s not too heavy. For the experienced crew, there’s not much to get excited about here. This is a real quiet stretch of forecast. It’s not usually this dead for this long, but this time it is.
Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
