The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. I’ve looked over the next 16 days for Ambatia Beach, and the truth is, there’s nothing on the table that’s worth paddling out for. The whole period is a write-off for decent surf.
From Saturday the 8th of August right through to Sunday the 23rd of August, it’s a flat, blown-out mess. The combined swell energy is weak the whole way, sitting at just 30 (on the 8th) and dropping to a pathetic 3 (on the 23rd). That’s barely a ripple. We’re looking at swell heights that never crack 3ft, mostly hovering around 1.0ft to 3ft, and that’s coming from the WNW or NW. The period is a short, weak 5 to 8 seconds – no power, no push.
The winds are a constant problem. It’s cross, cross-on, or onshore for nearly every session, with a moderate breeze messing things up. There are a couple of glassy mornings – Friday the 14th and Friday the 21st – but with swell energy down at 14 and 18, and waves barely 1ft, it’s just a flat, clean lake. Not worth a session.
This is a pretty average run for a sheltered beach-and-reef setup like Ambatia Beach. It’s a beginner spot that rarely breaks, and this 16-day window is a perfect example of why. Honestly, the setup here looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on those afternoons with a solid 12-15 mph onshore breeze, but even then, the waves are tiny.
Keep the board in the bag, save your energy. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
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.
