The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s cut straight to it.
Honestly, looking over the next 16 days at Nirvana Beach, it’s a pretty grim run. The swell is tiny and weak, the wind is never truly on our side, and the wave comment just keeps repeating the same bad news. There’s nothing here that’s worth paddling out for unless you’re absolutely desperate for a float. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year (positive anomaly of 3°), so it’s pleasant for a swim, but not for surfing.
The first week is a write-off, with swell heights hovering between 1 ft and 2 ft, and periods so short (4 to 7 seconds) there’s no power. The wind is constantly cross-onshore or onshore, chopping up what little bump there is. The combined energy barely gets into double digits for most of it, peaking at a weak 68 on Saturday the 29th morning, but with that period at 8 seconds and cross-on wind, it’s just messy. No standouts here.
There’s a slight bump around Wednesday the 2nd of September and Thursday the 3rd, with swell heights creeping up to 3 ft and period reaching 8 seconds, and the energy finally hitting three digits (115 on the 2nd morning, 111 on the afternoon). But the wind is still cross-on or onshore, and the call remains “poor surf conditions.” For a beach break like this, with wind from the SSW or W, it’ll be choppy and unsurfable. That setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
After that, it drops back down into the doldrums for the rest of the run, with nothing above 3 ft and energy fading back below 100. There are no true standouts at all across the entire 16-day window. The only break on the table is inconsistent, and for a beginner spot, this quiet period is more normal for the area. A blank run like this happens. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a no-go.
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.
