Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for us.
To be straight up with you, looking at the coming weeks, this is a pretty grim stretch. Every single session out of the gate is flagged as “poor surf conditions.” The swell is small, the wind is never right, and it’s a continuous run of onshore or cross-onshore breeze.
Over at Ambatia Beach, it’s a sheltered, rarely breaks kind of spot—so this kind of flat, choppy spell is par for the course. Right from Thursday afternoon, the 2nd of July, we see a tiny 2ft NW swell with a short period of 6 seconds and a weak combined energy of just 32 (32). That’s tiny, messy junk. The water temperature is a touch warmer than normal at 81°F, but that won’t help the surf.
Through Friday and Saturday (3rd and 4th July), you’re looking at 2ft to 3ft swells, all from the NW direction, with periods still stuck at 6 to 7 seconds. The wind is always cross-onshore or onshore, around 9 to 16 mph, so it’s choppy, crumbly, and not worth paddling out for.
Sunday the 5th through Tuesday the 8th of July shows a slight bump in energy—the combined wave energy climbs into the 100s (now moderate energy), like 133 (133) on Tuesday morning. Swell heights sit around 3ft to 4ft. But the direction remains NW with short 7-8 second periods, and moderate cross-onshore winds ruin any chance of a clean face. This is the kind of setup that looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
From the 9th of July onwards into the second week, the swell drops back down. You’re looking at 2ft to 3ft waves, energy fading to single or low two-digit figures (21 to 94), and the wind never swings truly offshore. Even the light breeze days still have that cross or cross-onshore component.
There is not a single standout wave in this whole 16-day window. The entire run is just one long gap with nothing worth recommending. For an area that rarely breaks, this blank run isn’t a surprise—it’s just how it goes sometimes. The only thing to do is wait for the charts to change.
Keep your head up.

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.
