The Lowdown
Right, g’day, ol’ Rusty here, and I’ve had a good squiz at the charts for the next 16 days. Mate, I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a bit of a lean run. The outlook is pretty barren, with no real standouts in the whole window. The first entry, for Ambatia Beach, doesn’t even get a recommendation until Sunday morning, the 26th of July, and even then, it’s a tough sell.
The whole period is plagued by poor surf conditions. The swell is weak, short-period, and mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making for choppy, messy waves. The combined swell energy is mostly low, with values like 69 (weak) on Sunday morning, climbing only to a middling 126 (moderate) on Monday morning, the 27th of July, but that’s the only real bump in the whole 16 days. The water temperature is sitting at 84°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, so you won’t need a steamer, but it won’t help the waves.
Let’s walk through it. Sunday morning the 26th sees a 3ft swell from the NW (7 seconds) with onshore breeze – poor. Monday morning the 27th is the best of a bad lot, with a 3ft swell from the WNW (8 seconds), but it’s cross-onshore light breeze, which is why it’s just “marginal.” The energy is 126 (moderate), but it’s still a beach and reef setup that’s inconsistent and rarely breaks, and the wind isn’t clean. After that, it’s all downhill again. The swell drops to 2ft or less from Tuesday the 28th onwards, with winds that are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, from moderate to strong breezes.
There’s a brief moment of glassy conditions on Monday morning, the 3rd of August, with a 3ft NW swell, but the period is a short 6 seconds, and the comment says “poor surf conditions” – so it’s flat, weak, and no good. The rest of the week into the 10th of August is the same story: tiny swell, poor conditions, and no recommendations. The best you can say is that the area is sheltered from the optimum swell direction (W), but the swell is coming from the wrong way (NW/WNW), so it’s not even getting the energy it needs.
Honestly, for a spot that rarely breaks, this is a blank run. It’s not a surprise for a place like this. If you’re desperate, the Monday morning the 27th of July is your only chance, but it’s barely worth paddling out for. Don’t hold your breath.
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.
