The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening.
Honestly, the outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch with very little to offer. The whole 16-day window is mostly flat or blown out. There’s a small bump mid-week next week, but the wind is going to spoil it. If you’re hoping for a decent session, you’ll be waiting a while.
The first real chance of anything surfable isn’t until Saturday, July 25th. That morning, we’ve got some knee-to-waist high swell, about 5ft from the WNW, but the wind is onshore, and the wave comment is “poor surf conditions.” The combined energy is moderate at 231 (moderate wave energy). The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s windswell, not groundswell. It’s not going to be clean.
The next day, Sunday the 26th, drops a little to 3ft, but the wind is cross-on from the WNW. Still poor. The energy is 101 (moderate). Same story for Monday the 27th – 3ft, cross-on, poor.
The only break on the menu is Nirvana Beach. It’s an exposed beach break, inconsistent, and it’s a beginner-friendly spot. The water temp is a warm 83°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The optimum swell direction is from the W, but the swells we’re getting are mostly WNW, so it’s not ideal.
There’s no standout session here. The best of a bad bunch is probably the Saturday morning (July 25th) with the biggest swell, but the onshore wind kills it. It’s not worth a special trip. If you’re a beginner, the small stuff later in the week might be okay for a splash, but the quality is just not there.
We’ve got a gap of no decent surf for the first few days, then a poor run, and then it fades back to nothing after July 31st. The last week of the forecast is all tiny, weak waves with onshore winds.
So, the honest truth: there’s nothing to recommend. Don’t bother waxing up for a while. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long blank run.
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.
