The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about what’s on offer at Ambatia Beach. I’ve looked at the charts and I’m telling you straight up, it’s a grim run for the next 16 days. There’s just no good surf on the cards. This is one of those times where you’re better off leaving the boards in the shed, because for the entire period from Wednesday, 5 August right through to Thursday, 20 August, the conditions are a write-off.
The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 85°, but that’s the only silver lining. The combined swell energy is weak, barely pushing into the low double digits at best, like 21. The swell is tiny, mostly 1ft to 3ft from the WNW, with a short period of 6 seconds – that’s windswell, not real groundswell, and it’s got no grunt. The winds are a constant problem. For the first week, it’s a mix of cross-onshore and onshore breezes, mostly from the SW and W, with speeds of 9 to 12 mph, chopping everything up. There’s a glimmer of a glassy morning on Monday, 10 August, with a dead calm NW wind, but the swell is still only 2ft with that weak 6-second period, so it’s barely a ripple. It’s a frustrating tease.
The second week doesn’t get any better. From Monday, 17 August onward, the pattern is the same: tiny swell, poor quality, and moderate cross-onshore winds. The energy is a bit higher on the 18th, with a reading of 55, but the swell is still just 3ft and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it messy. For a break that’s sheltered and rarely breaks, this is a total bust. Honestly, the setup is so weak and windswept, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, if you’re into that.
So that’s it. A blank run. Sometimes the ocean just shuts down, and this is one of those times. Keep your eye on the charts, things can change, but for now, Ambatia Beach is a no-go.
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.
