Table - best surf conditions forecast for Nirvana Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for this stretch is a bit of a quiet one. I’ve scanned the whole 16-day window and there’s nothing that’s going to get the heart racing. We’re looking at a long, flat spell ahead, so don’t bother rushing to load up the boards just yet.
Kicking off on Sunday the 12th of July, Nirvana Beach is showing tiny, weak swell. We’re talking about 1ft to 2ft of short-period, wind-affected slop coming from the WNW. The wind is a light cross-onshore breeze, and the water is running at a warm 82°, feeling a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. But the energy is pathetic – the combined energy reading is a measly 11 (Sunday morning) and 16 (Sunday afternoon). That’s barely a ripple. The comments say it all: poor surf conditions.
This pattern doesn’t budge. Monday the 13th sees a bit more height, but still only 2ft to 2ft, with a period of just 6 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 28 and 42, but it’s still just messy, cross-onshore junk. The surf is labelled "poor surf conditions" across the board. Tuesday the 14th, Wednesday the 15th, it’s all the same story – tiny, weak, and choppy.
The best bit of the whole run, if you can even call it that, happens on Wednesday the 15th. The morning shows a combined energy of 107 (moderate) with a 3ft swell from the WNW, period stretching to 8 seconds. But it’s still cross-onshore and the wind is a gentle breeze, so the surface is going to be rough. The afternoon is similar at 137 (moderate). It’s the only period where the energy hits triple digits, but it’s still not enough to overcome the poor conditions. You’d be fighting wind and chop for a knee-high wave.
We then drift back into very weak energy for the rest of the week. Thursday the 16th, Friday the 17th, Saturday the 18th, it’s all 1ft to 2ft with 6-second periods and energy so low (11 to 62) you’d be better off swimming. Sunday the 19th nudges up to 2ft with a 7-second period, but the wind is still cross-onshore. The second week doesn’t get any better. From Monday the 20th to Monday the 27th, the swell rarely tops 3ft, and the period is stuck in the 6-8 second range. The winds are consistently cross-onshore or onshore, and the combined energy, while occasionally hitting 133 on the morning of Saturday the 25th, is still paired with "poor surf conditions" and a choppy sea state.
The crowds at Nirvana Beach are listed as "sometimes" busy, but honestly, with this lack of quality, it’s unlikely many will show.
To be brutally honest, this is a total washout. For a beginner-friendly beach break that is inconsistent, this run of flat, choppy conditions is more normal than a surprise. The setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, as the wind is consistent but the waves are not. There’s nothing to recommend here. I hate to say it, but leave the board in the garage and go do something else. The forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, it’s a hard pass.
Rusty.

Information about the Nirvana Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Nirvana Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Nirvana Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Nirvana 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 (Nirvana 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 Nirvana 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.
Nirvana Beach is 4 km (2 miles) from Haifa. If you plan a holiday in North of Tel Aviv, look for hotels and other accommodation in Haifa. Haifa has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
