The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. The next 16 days at Nirvana Beach are looking like a write-off for any decent surf. We’ve got a full 16 days on the board, but the first wave of any real interest doesn't pop up until the 10th of September, and even then, it’s just not good enough.
Truth is, this stretch is a real flat spell. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is nearly always messing things up. There’s a lot of cross-onshore breezes and choppy water, which is a real shame for a spot that’s exposed to the west. You’ll be looking at a long, dry gap from the start all the way through to the 10th of September with nothing to recommend.
The only time the energy picks up at all is on the 10th of September. Thursday afternoon sees a combined energy of 115 (moderate) with a 3ft swell from the west and a period of 8 seconds. That’s the biggest, punchiest it gets, but it’s still a small, weak swell. The wind is a cross-onshore from the NW, so it’s going to be bumpy. The 11th and 12th are similar, but with that same messy wind. By the 13th, the glassy morning is a tease because the swell has dropped to 2ft, and it’s gone again.
The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 85°, but that’s no consolation when there’s nothing to ride. For a beginner break that’s inconsistent at the best of times, this is a real bummer. It’s one of those runs where the forecast is just plain ugly. Conditions are so poor for so long that the setup here looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Stay patient, folks. It tends not to stay this poor forever, but this one’s a real test.

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.
