The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for this stretch. To be honest, we’ve got a pretty bleak outlook ahead. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. There’s not a single recommendation worth paddling out for. The whole period is plagued by tiny, weak swell and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. It’s one of those long blank runs that happens here sometimes.
The first spot on the list is Ambatia Beach, a sheltered beach and reef setup that rarely breaks. And true to form, it’s barely showing a pulse. The water temperature is sitting at 86°F, which is a massive 4°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s much warmer than usual, so you’ll be sweating in your wettie, or more likely just wearing boardies.
From Thursday 3rd September right through to Friday 18th September, every single session is rated “poor surf conditions.” The swell is tiny, maxing out at a pathetic 3 ft on Thursday 10th September afternoon, but that comes with a moderate onshore breeze making it choppy. The combined wave energy barely gets into triple digits, peaking at 120 on that Thursday arvo, which is only moderate energy. Most days it’s stuck in the weak double digits. The period is consistently short, between 5 and 8 seconds, so it’s just messy windswell with no punch.
Winds are a constant problem. A few mornings, like the 7th and 8th, have a light cross-shore, but the swell is so small (2 ft) it’s not worth the drive. The one morning that goes glassy, Saturday 12th September, has a tiny 1 ft swell. It’s a cruel tease.
There are no standouts. No hidden gems. The best you could say is that if you’re desperate for a splash, the 2 ft to 3 ft mornings with a light cross-shore (like 10th and 16th September) might be barely rideable on a longboard, but you’ll be fighting for scraps. The whole setup is better suited to a kite surfer than a paddle surfer when the wind picks up. Don’t hold your breath; forecasts can change, but right now, this is a full 16-day bust.

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.
