The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty checkin’ in, and I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for Nirvana Beach.
To start with, the water is incredibly warm, sitting at 85°, which is a whopping 4° above the norm for this time of year. That’s seriously unusual and feels like bath water.
Right now and for the next several days, we are talkin’ barely a ripple. The swell energy is pathetic, with a combined energy reading of only 10 for Sunday the 13th . That's weak, and it stays weak. Don't expect any real surf here for over a week. There’s a long stretch of tiny, close-to-shore slop and most afternoons get ruined by a cross-onshore breeze.
Things show a tiny pulse of life starting on Wednesday the 16th, with a morning glass-off and a 1.0 ft WNW swell. The combined energy finally climbs to 73, but the conditions are described as 'very ordinary'. You might get a knee-high crumble if you’re desperate and a total beginner, but it’s not worth paddling for.
The pattern of small, weak swell continues day after day with only the occasional glassy morning to give a hint of a clean surface, but the wave height is just too small. The best the whole forecast can offer comes on Sunday the 27th. The morning session has a clean, light offshore wind from the SSE and a 3 ft swell from the WNW. The combined energy is 96, which is still on the low side of moderate, but it’s the biggest we’ll see. It’s a small, clean wave for total beginners, but that’s your highlight. The very next afternoon it gets messy again.
Honestly, this stretch is a classic blank run for Nirvana Beach. The swell window just isn’t doing us any favours. Leave the board at home and maybe check the kite scene if the wind picks up, because there’s not much for a surfer here for the next sixteen days.
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.
