The Lowdown
Howdy, Rusty here again. Lookin’ at Nirvana Beach, and the next 16 days are a tough watch for any surfer. It’s mostly tiny, weak, and messy, with only one real moment of charm for the beginner crew.
The swell is consistently small. Combined energy starts at a meager 11 on Sunday, September 13, and never really gets cooking. Winds are mostly cross-onshore or cross, so expect chop and bump. The water temp is about average for the season.
Come Wednesday, September 16, morning, we get a true standout – glassy conditions with a tiny 0.8m swell from the WNW. Combined energy sits at 57 (still weak) with a short 7-second period. It’s small and fat, but with the glassy surface, it’s the cleanest wave in the whole run. For an *inconsistent* beginner spot, it’s your best bet. Crowds are possible now and then.
After that, it’s back to poor surf. Thursday, September 17, has onshore wind and energy down to 34. Friday through the weekend (18-20) sees the swell shrink to 0.3-0.5m with cross and cross-on winds, and energy in the teens. A real dead spot hits from Monday, September 21, through Saturday, September 26 – the swell barely reaches 0.5m, energy values are under 62, and most mornings have a cross-on breeze. There’s a glassy moment on Friday, September 25, but with a 0.4m swell and energy at 6, there’s no power to ride.
Tuesday, September 22, offers the biggest wave height at 0.9m, but it’s paired with onshore-to-cross-on wind and short-period slop. Still poor.
The last Sunday and Monday (27-28 September) are more of the same: tiny swell, cross-on wind, and poor conditions. The afternoon of the 27th does push energy to 41, but it’s still a short-period 0.7m mess.
If you’re desperate, the standout is Wednesday, September 16, morning at Nirvana Beach: glassy, clean, but only 0.8m from the WNW. That’s the only session worth a look in the whole 16 days, and it’s strictly for beginners. For everyone else, it’s a long, flat wait.
Chin up – these blank runs don’t usually last forever.
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.
