The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be real here – the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a bit of a heartbreaker. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and wind that’s just not playing ball, so don't bother paddling out unless you are desperate for a float.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, we are staring down a major drought. From now, there is absolutely nothing worth chasing for the first 13 days. The swell stays small, the period is short, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, just destroying any chance of a clean wave. Most days we're looking at wave heights of 1.0 ft to 3 ft and combined energy readings in the teens or 20s to low 90s, which is weak energy territory. It’s just a flat, choppy mess.
The only tiny glimmer comes right at the tail end. On Sunday, September the 6th, we finally see a bit of life. The morning shows a slight uptick with a 4 ft swell from the WNW, period of 8 seconds and combined energy hitting 176 (moderate energy). The wind is light and cross-shore from the SW, so conditions *might* actually be okay – light cross-shore with small crossing wind ripples on a sheltered beach-and-reef break like Ambatia Beach is better than nothing. But even then, it's not great, and the afternoon turns onshore and choppy again.
For any beginner looking at that Sunday, the swell is just under 5 ft, so it's not too big for you, but those waves aren’t going to be well-shaped.
Also, just a heads up, the water temperature at Ambatia Beach is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year.
Honestly, there’s not one single standout in this whole outlook. The best I can say is keep your eyes peeled for Sunday, September the 6th, but don't hold your breath. For the rest of the period, with that tiny swell and poor wind, this sheltered beach setup is looking more like a kiteboarding spot than a paddle surf spot.

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.
