The Lowdown
Alright, it’s your boy Rusty here. I’ve got the lowdown on the surf for the next 16 days, and I gotta be straight with you: it’s a pretty grim outlook for Nirvana Beach. The board stays in the car for a while.
We’re looking at a long stretch of basically nothing. The first real chance for a wave comes on Tuesday, July 28th, but it’s not good. The swell is a weak 3 ft out of the WNW, with a short period of 6 seconds. The energy is flat at 41 (weak). The wind is blowing onshore from the WNW at 12 mph, which will just chop it all up. Honestly, it’s poor. The water temp is a warm 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only positive.
From there, it’s a wasteland. Wednesday the 29th, Thursday the 30th, Friday the 31st, right through the weekend and into the next week, it’s all the same story. Swell heights between 0.7 ft and 3 ft, periods rarely hitting 8 seconds, and the wind is either cross-on or onshore. The combined energy stays in the two-digit weak zone – 16, 25, 36, 46 – it’s all just small, weak, and messy. There’s a morning on Thursday, July 30th, with a 2 ft swell and a WSW wind at 3 mph, giving a slight offshore feel, but the period is still only 7 seconds and the energy is just 61. It’s a tease, but it’s not gonna be worth the paddle.
This whole run of poor surf lasts for days. The end of the forecast, around August 12th, shows a pulse of 3 ft swell with a period of 8 seconds and energy hitting 97 (still weak), but the wind is cross-on or onshore, keeping it choppy and poor.
For a beginner spot that’s only inconsistent, this is a total bust. The swell is too small and weak, and the wind is never clean. There is no standout session here. It’s just a long, flat, choppy period. The setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now.
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.
