The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and let me level with you: this 16-day window for Nirvana Beach is a tough stretch. Honestly, it's looking flat and mostly blown out. If you were hoping for a classic summer run, you're going to be disappointed. This spot is rated for beginners, and it's inconsistent at the best of times, so a long blank run like this isn't totally abnormal for this area.
Right from the get-go, starting on Sunday, August 9th, the surf is tiny. We're looking at weak 3ft swell from the WNW, but the period is short at just 6 seconds, so all that energy is pretty weak (energy at 44). The morning wind is light and onshore, which isn't totally trashing it, but it's not clean either. By the afternoon, it gets choppy with a cross-onshore breeze. This whole setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, to be honest.
The entire first week, right through to Saturday, August 15th, is grim. Swell heights barely scrape 2ft, the period stays short, and the wind never really gives us a clean, glassy window. Monday the 10th morning has a light cross-shore, but the wave height is only 2ft, so you're just bobbing around. The combined wave energy stays in the weak double digits (often below 50), which tells you everything.
Here's the only flicker of hope. We've got a slight bump coming on Monday, August 17th, and Tuesday, August 18th. The swell builds to 4ft on Monday afternoon with a period stretching to 7 seconds, and the energy gets into the moderate triple digits (147). That's the most size and push we'll see in the whole run. The problem? The wind is onshore and moderate, so it will be bumpy. Tuesday morning holds 4ft with a similar period, but again, that cross-onshore wind will chop it up. Still, for a beginner, it's the best-looking wave size in the window.
After that, it fades fast. From Wednesday the 19th onwards, we're back to tiny, underpowered waves (1ft to 3ft) with weak energy, and the wind stays mostly messy. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 84°, but that's small comfort when there's nothing to ride.
If you absolutely have to get wet, your best bet is Monday the 17th afternoon, or Tuesday the 18th morning. That 4ft to 4ft swell, even with the chop, is the only real surf on offer. For the rest of the time, save your wax. The long-range stuff looks just as poor, so don't hold your breath.
Stay salty.

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.
