The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this outlook is a tough one to write. Over the next 16 days, there’s just nothing doing on the surf front. The whole forecast window is a flat, wind-affected mess, so we’re not going to pretend there’s a hidden gem.
Ambatia Beach is a sheltered beach-and-reef setup, and it rarely breaks. Over the coming days, the swell is tiny and bumpy. Sunday the 19th kicks off with a tiny 2 ft swell from the WNW at a weak 7 seconds, but it’s cross-shore with a slight breeze and the energy is barely there (26). That’s the story all the way through. Monday the 20th drops to 1 ft, Tuesday the 21st is the same tiny junk, Wednesday the 22nd stays at 2 ft, and by Thursday the 23rd we’re looking at 2 ft (48 energy) but still cross-onshore and choppy.
There’s a tiny spike on Monday the 27th of July, when the swell bumps to 4 ft from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds and the energy jumps to 248. That’s the biggest wave of the whole period, but it’s ruined by a moderate cross-onshore breeze and the wave comment reads “poor surf conditions.” The water temp is about average for the time of year—nothing to get excited about.
The entire 16-day window is a dust bowl. There’s not a single standout. The swell never gets clean, never gets the right wind, and the waves are inches high. Honestly, this looks more like a kite-surfing window if you’re into that, because the wind picks up plenty in the afternoons, but for a paddle surfer? Save your energy.
Stay patient—forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long.
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.
