The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. I'm gonna level with you – this 16-day stretch for Nirvana Beach is a total dud. The whole forecast is a long, flat, and messy nothing-burger.
The swell is tiny, barely getting over 2ft for most of the first week, and it's coming from the WNW, which is okay, but the period is short, mostly between 5 and 7 seconds. That's junk windswell, not proper groundswell – it's gonna be weak and gutless. The combined swell energy is pathetic, often in the double digits (11 to 45). The winds are almost always onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up whatever little bumps there are. The water is a touch warmer than usual, sitting at 83°F, about 3°F above average, but that's the only good thing going.
The first real moment where things get a little interesting is on the morning of July 25th. The swell jumps a bit to 4ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy bumps up to 165 – that's moderate energy. But look at the wind, it's a light cross-onshore from the SW. It's still a cross-on breeze, but it's light, so the surf will only be marginally less choppy. Even then, it's not a standout; it's just the best of a bad lot. The afternoon of the 25th sees a similar 4ft swell but the wind swings onshore from the WNW, so it's a wash.
Later on the morning of July 31st, there's a 3ft swell from the WNW with an 8-second period and a combined energy of 137. That's another moderate pulse. The wind is onshore from the WSW, so it's a bit cleaner than the cross-onshore stuff, but it's still a light breeze. It's the only other session that might be worth a paddle, but I wouldn't hold your breath.
The rest of the window is a desert. Days of 2ft to 3ft slop, with onshore winds. The swell drops right back again into early August, with nothing but tiny, weak waves. There's a big gap of poor surf from July 26th all the way through to August 3rd with no real improvement.
For a beginner spot, this is a total write-off. The swell is too small and weak for anyone to have fun, and the wind is always in the wrong direction. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The wind is consistent and the water is flat. But for a surf? Don't bother. Sometimes the ocean just doesn't cooperate. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a solid "no."

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.
