The Lowdown
Right, let’s be straight with you. It’s a pretty quiet stretch coming up. The water’s sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s got any energy to it. We’re looking at a solid run of poor surf conditions, with a real gap at the start where there’s just nothing doing.
Ambatia Beach is the only spot on the cards, and it’s a sheltered beach and reef setup that rarely breaks. It needs a good pulse, and we just don’t have one. The swell direction is stuck out of the west-northwest, which isn’t the optimum for this place, and the waves are struggling to get past 3ft for days. The energy is weak, with readings like 23 and 71 in the low numbers for the first few days. It’s a frustrating start.
Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th are flat and messy, with light cross-onshore winds and tiny 1ft to 1ft waves. Saturday sees a slight bump to 3ft, but the energy is still weak (71) and the moderate cross-shore wind won’t do us any favors. Sunday the 30th is the only real spike in the whole window, with the swell jumping to 5ft and the energy reading getting up to 394, which is a moderate push. But the wind is onshore and it’s still rated as poor. If you’re an expert, it might offer a bit of grunt, but for most, it’s a washing machine.
After that, it drops back down. Monday the 31st is around 3ft but light and cross-shore. Then we fade into a long stretch of tiny surf. From Tuesday the 1st of September all the way through to Friday the 11th, we’re looking at swell heights mostly under 2ft, with energy readings in the teens and twenties. There are a few glassy mornings, especially the 6th, 9th, and 10th, with zero wind, but the waves are just too small to get excited about. The periods are short too, mostly 6 seconds, so there’s no push or shape to them.
Given this outlook, there are no good surf options in the 16-day window. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for the kite surfers than for us paddle surfers – there’s just no swell to work with. The one thing in our favour is that the break is fairly consistent in that it does get waves now and then, so it tends not to stay this poor for long. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, you’re better off saving your energy for a week or two.

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.
