The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. Rusty here.
To be straight with you, the outlook for Ambatia Beach over the next sixteen days is a tough one. We've got a long, quiet stretch ahead. The first real recommendation for a surf doesn't kick off until August 10th, but don't get your hopes up. The whole run from the 10th right through to the 25th of August is a write-off. That's a solid sixteen-day gap with no decent surf on offer. The waves are just too small, and the wind is mostly rubbish. The swell energy is weak, with readings all well under 100 (the highest is a paltry 83), so there's just no power in the water. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is one of those blank runs that’s more normal than you'd hope for.
Let's walk through it. On Monday the 10th, the swell is a tiny 2 ft from the WNW, but the wind is a messy cross-onshore from the NNW. It’s just poor. That sets the tone. Every single day, morning and afternoon, right through to the 25th, the story is the same. The swell height barely nudges over 3 ft on the 18th, but that's still accompanied by poor conditions and moderate cross-onshore or onshore winds. The period is short too, mostly 6 seconds, so it’s weak, wind-affected slop. There are a few mornings like the 16th and 17th where the wind drops to a light breeze, but the waves are still tiny and the "poor surf conditions" tag is a dead giveaway. For a beginner break that’s sheltered from the swell, this is about as flat as it gets.
There are no standouts here. Not a single session worth paddling out for. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so that’s not the issue. The issue is simply no swell and poor wind alignment. If you are desperate for a paddle, you might find a knee-high ripple on the morning of the 16th with the lightest wind, but that’s clutching at straws. For the most part, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer on those breezy afternoons than for a surfer with a shortboard.
Stay patient, check back in a week. Forecasts can change.

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.
