The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the charts for the coming weeks, and to be honest, mate, it’s a bit of a flat spell. We’ve got a solid 16-day window, but the surf is looking pretty ordinary for the most part. There’s no real standout in the swell department, so we’re talking about small, weak waves for the vast majority of the time.
The first bit of action, if you can call it that, starts on Friday morning, the 21st of August. We’re looking at tiny waves, around 2ft, coming from the NW. It’s a short period swell, just 4 seconds, so there’s no power behind it. The combined swell energy is a weak 9. Water temp is 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The wind is glassy from the W though, so it’ll be clean, but with those tiny, weak waves, it’s going to be a struggle to get a decent ride.
This pretty much sets the tone for the whole period. The swell size stays under 3ft for the entire 16 days. The swell direction is consistently from the WNW, but the period is short, mostly between 5 and 8 seconds. The combined energy values are all weak, ranging from 7 up to just 66, so there’s no grunt in the water at all. The wind is a mixed bag – some mornings, like Monday the 24th, Tuesday the 25th, and Friday the 4th of September, have glassy conditions, which is a huge positive for the clean surface, but it just can’t make up for the lack of swell.
Around the 28th and 29th of August, the swell does bump up slightly to 3ft, but it’s still a short period (7-8 seconds) and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, so it’ll be choppy and messy. The energy values climb into the 50s and 60s, which is still weak, but it’s the best the window has to offer. Even then, it’s not worth getting excited about. The best chance for a wave will be those glassy mornings when the tiny swell is clean, but it’s a serious longboard or foamie mission.
The reality is, this is a lean run. There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The waves are small, weak, and often messy. The swell and wind just aren’t lining up. On the plus side, this spot is rarely consistent, so a blank run like this isn’t totally out of the ordinary. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d be finding something else to do for the next couple of weeks.

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.
