The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a flat spell for this region. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak, and messy conditions that just aren’t going to get the stoke going. There’s no standout session on the cards, and no single day that’s going to have you calling in sick. It’s a quiet period.
The only spot on the radar is Nirvana Beach. It’s an exposed beginner-friendly break that’s inconsistent, and unfortunately, that inconsistency is showing big time. The swell barely tickles the 3ft mark, coming from the west-northwest, with a period hanging around 6-8 seconds. That’s short-period windswell, lacking any real punch or shape. The combined swell energy is weak, topping out at 94 on Sunday the 16th – that’s barely a pulse.
Wind is the real killer here. It’s almost always cross-onshore or onshore, anywhere from 6 to 16 mph, keeping the surface choppy and bumpy. There’s no window of clean, glassy conditions. Thursday the 13th through to the end of the run on Friday the 28th of August, every session is rated as poor. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Honestly, for the entire 16-day window, this setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. If you’ve got a kite, the consistent cross-onshore wind might get you planing, but for a surfboard, there’s nothing to chase. Don’t hold your breath – it tends not to stay this poor forever, but this run is a definite blank.
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.
