The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk straight about Nirvana Beach for the next 16 days. Honestly, it’s a rough run. The whole stretch from September 15th right through to the 30th is filled with poor surf conditions, not a single standout session. You’re looking at a long blank period. The wave energy is tiny, almost always under 100 (weak), with a couple of days just barely creeping into the low triple digits. The swell is just a weak, short-period wind swell from the west-northwest, and the wind is usually cross-onshore or onshore, making a mess of things.
The water is a touch warmer than average, sitting around 85°, about 4° above normal for the season. Doesn’t matter much when there’s no surf to enjoy, though.
Let’s break it down. Tuesday the 15th, you’ve got a measly 2ft swell from the WNW with a period of just 6 seconds. Energy is 21 (weak). Wind is cross-on from the NW at 3 mph, and the report says “poor surf conditions” with small ripples. By afternoon, wind jumps to 12 mph and it’s choppy.
Wednesday the 16th starts glassy – that’s nice – but the swell is still only 2ft with weak energy (34) and a short period. Still “poor conditions.” Afternoon chops it up again.
Thursday the 17th, glassy again in the morning but the swell has dropped to 1ft, energy down to 13 (weak). Not much to work with.
Friday the 18th is a total write-off – onshore wind, risk of thunderstorms, swell just 1ft with a 3-second period and energy of 3 (tiny).
Saturday the 19th, the swell bumps up to 3ft from the WNW with an 8-second period and energy hits 120 (moderate). But the wind is onshore in the morning and cross-onshore and choppy by afternoon.
From Sunday the 20th to the end of the month, it’s rinse and repeat – tiny swells (1ft to 3ft), weak energy (mostly under 100), and rubbish winds. There’s a little glimmer on September 30th morning with light offshore wind from the ENE (clean), but the swell is still only 2ft with an 8-second period. Clean, but no power.
With this constant run of poor conditions, this blank run is just normal for this area. For a surfer, the closest thing to a wave is the 1.0m on the 19th, but the wind ruins it. This looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, mate.
Rusty out.

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.
