The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I gotta level with you – the next 16 days look properly flat for a paddle. We’re starting with nothing on offer, and it’s pretty much the same story all the way through to the 26th. There’s a big stretch with no real surf, so you might as well store the boards.
The only spot in the mix is Ambatia Beach, and to be honest, it’s a sheltered beginner wave that rarely breaks. That tells you the kind of run we’re in for. It’s a beach and reef setup, and the swell is always tiny, barely hitting 2ft to 3ft through the whole period. The combined wave energy is weak across the board, sitting at just 19 to 99 (that’s weak energy, not even cracking three digits). The swell direction is stuck out of the NW to WNW, with a short, weak period of 4 to 8 seconds – that’s just wind slop, no power. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, gusting up to 12 mph in the afternoons, turning what little ripple there is into choppy junk. There’s no standout session here, not even close. The water temp is sitting at 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal, but that doesn’t help the surf.
If you’re desperate, the morning of the 17th has a light cross-on breeze and about 3ft of 7-second swell from the WNW, but it’s still poor and inconsistent. Honestly, with the sheltered aspect, short period, and constant onshore wind, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s pretty normal when a spot rarely breaks. Forecasts can change, but for now, don’t hold your breath.
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.
