The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about the surf this fortnight. The outlook is grim for a solid stretch, so don't get your hopes up too early.
The entire 16-day window kicks off with a long, disappointing gap. From now right through until Thursday the 18th of September, there's nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the winds are junk, and the conditions are downright poor. You're looking at a full week of flat, messy water.
Things don't really start to look interesting until the morning of Friday the 19th of September. That's your best chance, but it's a slim one. Ambatia Beach is a beach and reef setup that rarely breaks, so any action here is notable.
Friday 19th September Morning is the one to watch. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the NW with a short period. The wind is perfectly calm, going glassy, which is a huge positive for clean conditions. The combined swell energy is very weak, reading just 26. The water temperature is a notable 86°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. It's a beginner-friendly break, but with surf this small and inconsistent, even that is a stretch. It's the best on offer, but it's a real long shot.
After that, it's back to the doldrums. The Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st drop back to tiny, onshore junk. The following week sees a slight bump in swell on the 24th and 26th, but the winds are still messy and the conditions stay poor. The whole period is a tough watch, mate. Nothing here gets the blood pumping.
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.
