Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ambatia Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty, and I've gotta level with you. Looking at the forecast for Ambatia Beach over the next couple of weeks, it's a bit of a tough stretch. There are no good surf options in this 16-day window, so we're looking at a blank run that's pretty normal for this sheltered setup.
The swell just isn't showing any real love. We're looking at tiny waves, mostly around the 1 ft to 3 ft range, and that's about all the energy we've got. The combined energy of all swells is exceptionally weak, barely cracking 80 on most days. That WNW swell direction is the wrong way for Ambatia Beach, which wants a west swell to light up properly. Even the period is short, mostly around the 6-second mark, so there's no push or shape to anything.
Most of the time you're looking at a cross-onshore or onshore wind. Sure, there's a glimmer on the morning of Sunday, July 26th, with a bit of a glassy feel from a light NNE breeze, but even then the swell is a tiny, weak 2 ft. It's just not enough to do anything with. For a beginner-friendly beach and reef break that rarely breaks under the best conditions, this is about as quiet as it gets.
Don't get too disheartened, though. Forecasts can change, and with a spot like this, it tends not to stay this poor for too long when the conditions line up. But for now, I'd say give the board a rest and find something else to do.

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.
