The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m looking at this and it’s a tough stretch. The only break in the mix is Ambatia Beach, and the whole 16-day window is a real struggle. There’s nothing that I’d call a standout. The first surf recommendation doesn’t show up until the 27th of July, and even then it’s a marginal call. The gap from now until the 27th is a solid 10 days of pretty much nothing worth paddling out for.
Ambatia Beach is a sheltered beach-and-reef setup, and it’s a beginner spot that rarely breaks, so a blank run like this isn’t a huge surprise. The swell direction is WNW, which is coming from the west, but the optimum swell is from the west, so that’s a small positive. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing weird there.
The first glimmer of hope comes on the 27th of July, Monday morning. The swell is a tiny 4ft from the WNW with a period of 7 seconds, but the wind is light and onshore from the NW. The combined energy is 121 (moderate), but the wave comment says “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” The wind is onshore, so it’s not going to be clean. That’s about as close to a recommendation as we get, and it’s a weak one.
The rest of the time, we’re looking at tiny waves—1ft to 5ft—with mostly cross or onshore winds. The 25th of July Saturday afternoon has a bit more size at 5ft, but the wind is onshore from the WNW at 12 mph and the energy is moderate (170), but it’s still called “poor surf conditions.” The 30th of July Thursday morning has glassy conditions with a 3ft swell from the WNW, which is clean, but the wave energy is weak (91) and the wave comment is still “poor surf conditions.”
There’s no real standout here. The setup is too small and too wind-affected for a good paddle session. With the consistent onshore winds and the small, weak swell, this looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a regular surfer. Keep an eye on it, but I wouldn’t be rushing down.
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.
