The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next sixteen days are a write-off for Ambatia Beach. This stretch is a sheltered, rarely-breaking beach and reef setup, and the forecast just doesn’t have anything worth paddling out for. It’s not a case of a little swell and iffy winds—there is simply no surf on offer. We’ve got a full sixteen-day blank run ahead, and for this spot, that’s not unusual given how inconsistent it can be. Don’t sell your board, though; a place that breaks this rarely can turn on quickly when the conditions line up, and forecasts have a habit of changing.
We start this Saturday, the 1st, with a bit of weak WNW groundswell at 3ft and an 8-second period. The energy reading is weak at 76, and while the morning is glassy with light NW winds, the waves that do show will be poor quality and tiny. That’s your best look of the whole period, and it isn’t saying much. The water temp is 84°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, so at least it’ll be a warm paddle.
From there, it’s a slow slide downhill. Sunday the 2nd sees the swell drop to 2ft, and the wind swings cross-onshore, making things choppy. The energy falls right off to 28. Monday the 3rd is smaller again, with a weak 2ft and period dropping to 5 seconds—just wind slop. The rest of the first week and into the second is more of the same: tiny vestiges of WNW swell, mostly under 3ft, with cross-onshore and onshore winds kicking up chop. The energy readings stay in the weak range, mostly between 15 and 44.
There’s a fleeting moment on Monday the 10th where the wind goes totally calm and it’s glassy, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft with a 6-second period and energy of just 15. It’s flat, pure and simple. The following days are no better. By the time we get to the 16th, the swell is down to 1ft–1ft, with weak periods and no power whatsoever.
Honestly, if you’re desperate to get wet, you might be better off with a kiteboard if the wind picks up—the setup here will look more interesting for that than for paddle surfing. But for a wave, there is nothing. The best advice is to save your energy, keep an eye on the charts, and wait for a proper swell. This will pass.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
