The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the coming weeks.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, I gotta be straight with you – it's a real tough stretch. We're looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple to get excited about. The only break on the radar is Ambatia Beach, and she's a tricky one, a sheltered beginner spot that rarely breaks. The water is sitting at a warm 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only highlight.
The first chance for anything at all doesn't come until the morning of the 28th of August. Even then, it's a tiny 1.0ft swell from the WNW with a long period of 9 seconds, but the cross-shore wind is going to mess with it. The wave energy is weak (37). It's still a "poor surf conditions" call, so I wouldn't hold your breath.
Things look a little more promising right at the end of the run. The 29th of August morning brings a 3ft swell from the WNW, period 8 seconds and a moderate cross-shore breeze. The energy is moderate (125). It's a bit of a bumpy setup, but it's the biggest we've seen. The 30th of August is similar, with a 3ft to 4ft swell from the W and WNW, still with that cross-shore wind. The energy stays moderate (127). It's not clean, but it's the most active we get.
The morning of the 31st of August has a 3ft swell from the WNW (105 energy), but again, the wind is cross-shore. It's all still marked as "poor surf conditions" across the entire forecast. For a beginner spot that rarely breaks, a blank run like this isn't totally unexpected, but it's still a bummer.
If you're a kite surfer, the afternoon of the 29th and 30th of August with that 3ft to 4ft swell and strong onshore wind might look more interesting than paddle surfing. As for us, we wait.
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.
