The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – I've looked at the forecast for our little patch, and honestly, it's a tough one.
We've got a solid 16-day window here, but it's going to be a quiet one. There are no real standout days, no proper swells to get excited about. You're looking at a long stretch of small, weak energy, with the combined swell energy barely cracking three digits at its best. For the next two and a half weeks, it's all about the tiny stuff. The first recommendation isn't until September 7th, and even then, it's flat.
Ambatia Beach is the only game in town, but it's a sheltered spot, and it "rarely breaks" anyway, so this blank run isn't a huge shock. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
Let's run through it:
Monday, September 7th: We kick off with a tiny 2ft swell from the WNW, but the period is a weak 6 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly 32. The morning has a light cross-shore, and the afternoon is onshore. Not worth paddling out for.
Tuesday, September 8th: Swell drops to 2ft, period still 6 seconds (energy 34). The morning is glassy, which is the best we'll see, but the swell is just too small and weak. The afternoon gets choppy. Still a no-go.
Wednesday, September 9th: The morning is completely flat with 2ft and glassy conditions, but energy is only 54. The afternoon turns onshore. It's a washout.
Thursday, September 10th to Saturday, September 12th: This is the heart of the flat spell. Swells hover between 1ft and 2ft, periods of 6-7 seconds. The mornings offer glassy conditions, but there's simply no push. The combined energy stays in the teens and twenties. You're looking at three days of near-nothing.
Sunday, September 13th to Wednesday, September 16th: The same story. Tiny swell, weak periods. The wind is mostly onshore or light cross-onshore. The combined energy dips into single digits on the 16th (only 9!). This is a total loss.
Thursday, September 17th & Friday, September 18th: We get a slight pulse, with the swell bumping up to 3ft and the period to 7 seconds. Combined energy hits 53 on the 18th, which is the best of the whole run. The mornings are glassy. But 3ft at 7 seconds is still small and weak. It might offer the most rideable little waves, but it's nothing to write home about.
Saturday, September 19th to Tuesday, September 22nd: It fades right back down. Swells drop to 1ft-2ft with periods of 5-6 seconds. By Tuesday the 22nd, the energy is down to a pathetic 6.
Honestly, the only time you might get a board wet is on the 17th and 18th of September during the glassy mornings. But even then, it's tiny and weak. This setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the consistent onshore wind and small, crummy surf. For now, the forecast can change, but as it stands, this is a long, flat run. Keep the wax in the car.
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.
Ambatia Beach is 0 km (0 miles) from the city of Netanya. If you plan a holiday in Tel Aviv and South, look for hotels and other accommodation in Netanya. Netanya has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
