The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. The next 16 days are looking pretty grim for Ambatia Beach, so don’t get your hopes up.
Right from the start, Monday the 20th of July, it’s not looking good. We’ve got a tiny 1ft swell out of the WNW, but the wind is all wrong. That morning, it’s a cross-onshore breeze at 6 mph, and by the afternoon it’s a full-on 12 mph onshore wind. The swell energy is super weak (only 16 in the morning, 14 in the afternoon), and the period is just a short 6 seconds. This is a beach-and-reef setup that’s sheltered, so it needs the right angle, and we’re just not getting it. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing special there.
Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd are more of the same. The swell stays tiny, under 2ft, and the wind stays cross or cross-onshore. The combined energy never climbs above 29, which is weak. This is a break that rarely breaks, so this kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area.
By Thursday the 24th of July, the swell picks up a touch to 3ft, and the energy gets into the moderate range (60-68), but the wind is still cross-onshore and choppy. It’s not surfable.
Saturday the 25th of July looks like the best of a bad lot, but that’s not saying much. The swell hits 4ft, and the energy finally cracks 134 (moderate), with a 7-second period. The wind is light and cross-shore in the morning, which is the cleanest we’ll see. But it’s still “poor surf conditions” across the board. If you’re desperate, that Saturday morning is your only real window, but it’s not a standout.
The whole second week, from the 27th of July through to the 4th of August, is just a flat, blown-out mess. Swell rarely gets over 3ft, and the wind is always onshore or cross-onshore. The energy stays weak, with the highest reading just 79. There’s a moment on Monday the 3rd of August with glassy conditions in the morning and a 1ft NW swell, but the energy is a measly 3. It’s flat calm.
Honestly, if you’re looking at Ambatia Beach, you’re packing your gear away for a while. There’s no standout, no good swell, and the wind is just cruel. A blank run like this is normal for a spot that rarely breaks.
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.
