The Lowdown
G’day surfers, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, there’s nothing to get excited about. For a solid 13 days, it’s pretty much a bust. From Saturday the 5th right through to Thursday the 17th of September, every day is serving up poor surf conditions with tiny waves, messy winds, and a combined swell energy that barely scrapes into double digits (7 to 83). Honestly, you’d be pulling your hair out if you paddled out. The only break we’ve got on the radar is Ambatia Beach, and it’s a rare-breaker at the best of times. It’s a sheltered spot that likes swell from the west, but we just aren’t getting it.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of Friday, 18th September. The swell nudges up to around 3 ft from the WNW with an 8-second period, and the combined energy finally hits a moderate 100. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the WSW, so not perfect, but it’s the best we’ve seen. The wave comment even says “marginal surf forecast.” That’s the one morning that might offer a limp wave for a beginner to paddle around on.
Water temp is sitting about average for this time of year.
After that, it’s back to the same old story. No standout swell, no clean windows, just a long, quiet stretch. For this area, a blank run isn’t unusual—it happens. Stay patient.
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.
