The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s cut through it.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. Over this whole 16-day window, there’s nothing that ticks the boxes for a proper session. The forecast shows a long stretch of small, weak, and messy surf with onshore winds messing things up most of the time. We start off with a bit of waist-high swell on Sunday 30th August, but it’s 5 ft from the WNW (302 moderate energy) and the wind is cross-on from the west at 9 mph – it’s bumpy and poor. The water temperature is 85.8°, which is running a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, so at least the water’s nice. The whole first week and beyond is pretty much a write-off for paddle surfing. The consistent story is poor surf conditions day after day, swell under 3 ft from all angles with short-period windswell, and onshore or cross-onshore breeze. By Monday 8th September there’s a slight spike with a 3 ft WNW swell and a period of 10 seconds, but again it’s onshore and the report says poor. That afternoon, there’s moderate energy (196), but it doesn’t matter with that wind. The only real chance for clean conditions is the early Thursday 10th September morning – glassy, but the swell is a tiny 1.6 ft with practically no energy (11) – it’s flat. For a spot like Ambatia Beach, a sheltered beach and reef setup that rarely breaks, this is a textbook dry spell. If you’ve got a kite, some of those afternoons with moderate cross-onshore wind and small swell might be more interesting, but for a surfer, it’s a long wait. The outlook is dry – forecasts can change, but right now there’s nothing to get excited about.

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.
