The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. For the next 16 days, it's a tough watch at Ambatia Beach. This spot is a sheltered beach and reef setup that rarely breaks, and the models are showing exactly that – a whole lot of nothing. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the energy is practically non-existent. We're looking at over a week of poor surf conditions with wave heights barely scraping 2ft to 3ft and periods under 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak, staying below 100 all week. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 86°.
Sunday 23rd to Monday 24th is a write-off. Tiny 2ft west-northwest slop with cross and onshore winds. Not worth paddling out for.
Tuesday 25th morning offers a glimmer. The wind goes glassy, which is a major positive, but the swell is only 1ft. It'd be a flat paddle.
Wednesday 26th mirrors Tuesday – another glassy morning but the same 2ft swell. Still, with that light wind, it's the best the week has to offer.
Thursday 27th through Monday 31st stays stubborn. The swell fluctuates between 1ft and 3ft, but the wind is consistently cross, cross-on, or onshore. The energy barely cracks 67.
Tuesday 1st September is a new low. Swell drops to 1ft with a period of 5 seconds. Energy is a measly 6. The trend continues through Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd, where the swell ticks up to 3ft, and the energy hits 89, but the winds are still cross to cross-onshore. The wave quality is still garbage.
Friday 4th and Saturday 5th offer a last chance Saturday morning with glassy conditions and 2ft swell, but it's still marginal.
Sunday 6th and Monday 7th see the swell shrink back to 1ft. The 16-day forecast ends with a whimper.
There are no standout days. The best wave on offer is the morning of Wednesday 26th August with 2ft of swell and glassy conditions, but even that is a stretch for a beginner. This zone is a consistent letdown for the entire period. Expect a blank run of surf for the next two weeks. It's a classic case of "if it's not breaking, it's flat." For a break that rarely breaks, this is normal. With such minimal swell and poor quality, this setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer right now.
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.

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.
