The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's happening.
For Ambatia Beach, the outlook is dead flat. Over the next 16 days, there isn't a single decent surf session to be had.
The whole window is filled with small, weak WNW swells, but the wind and conditions just won't line up. The best you can hope for is on Sunday, the 16th, when the morning starts off glassy. But the swell is a tiny 3ft from the WNW with a short 8-second period, and the combined energy is a weak 95. It's only for beginners when it's this small, and it's barely breaking because of the exposure. The water temp is 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
You get a tiny spike in energy around the 30th of August, with a 4ft swell and 168 units of combined energy (moderate), but it's met with onshore wind at 12 mph. That's going to be a choppy, ugly mess.
For the rest of the time, the wind is either cross, cross-on, or straight onshore, ruining everything. There is no standout session here. For a break this sheltered, a long stretch of nothing is pretty normal. Don't bother with the board; you'll just be frustrated.
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.
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.
