The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be honest right off the bat – this outlook is a tough one. For the entire 16-day window, there’s just nothing doing at Ambatia Beach. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the conditions are consistently poor. Every single morning and afternoon across the whole stretch is marked as poor surf. It’s a rare thing to see a forecast this flat, but it happens.
The first day we’ve got data for is Wednesday, 26 August, and it sets the tone: only 1 ft of weak, short-period WNW swell, light cross-shore wind, and water temp sitting at 86° – a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a small comfort. But the combined swell energy is a paltry 14 – that’s very weak, hardly enough to push a ripple through.
The pattern doesn’t improve. Thursday and Friday stay tiny, with swell hanging around 1 ft to 2 ft, and winds mostly cross-on or onshore. The energy stays in the teens or low 20s. Saturday 29 August sees a slight bump to 2 ft, but it’s still poor, with moderate cross-shore chop and energy only reaching 54. Sunday 30 August brings the biggest swell of the whole run – 4 ft, with energy hitting 159 – but it’s still weak, short-period (8 sec) WNW swell, and the wind is onshore or cross. The setup is just messy.
The second week offers no relief. Monday 31 August onward, swell drops back to 2 ft–3 ft, periods stay 5–8 seconds, and energy is mostly in the teens to low 30s. A couple of mornings, like Wednesday 2 September and Thursday 3 September, have glassy conditions, which would normally be a dream – but with such tiny swell, it’s a flat calm. The best you could hope for is a knee-high ripple, and even that’s a stretch.
Given the consistently poor surf quality, tiny swell, and onshore or cross winds, this setup at Ambatia Beach – a beach and reef break – is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. For a surfer, there’s nothing to get excited about.
This is a rare blank run for the area. Don’t lose hope, though – forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this quiet forever.
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.
