The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough stretch. The forecast is showing a long run of really poor conditions for Ambatia Beach. This spot is a sheltered little beginner-friendly beach and reef, but it rarely breaks, and this whole period looks like a write-off for any decent waves. We're looking at a solid 12-day gap with no surf worth talking about at all.
The water is sitting at a warm 82°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only good news.
From Tuesday, July 14th right through to Friday, July 24th, it's all tiny, weak swell with no energy. The combined swell energy is barely a whisper, often under 100, and it's coming from the wrong direction (WNW) for this spot which needs a W swell. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up anything that might try to form. You'll see a few glassy mornings, like Sunday, July 19th, but the swell is just 2 ft with a short period - don't bother paddling out.
The only glimmer comes on the very last day of the forecast, Saturday, July 26th. The morning session shows a bit more life, with a swell of 4 ft from the WNW (period 8 seconds) and combined energy of 153. It's still described as "marginal" with questionable tide conditions, and the wind is onshore, but it's the closest we get to a surfable wave in the whole 16 days. It's not a standout, just the best of a bad lot. From July 27th onwards, it drops right back off again.
This is a tough one. A blank run like this is pretty normal for such a sheltered, rarely-breaking spot. For now, leave the board at home. The forecast can change, but this one looks bleak.
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.
Ambatia Beach is 0 km (0 miles) from the city of Netanya. If you plan a holiday in Tel Aviv and South, look for hotels and other accommodation in Netanya. Netanya has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
