The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Nirvana Beach over the next couple of weeks. I'll be straight with ya—it's a pretty quiet run, and you're going to be waiting a while for anything that's even worth a mention.
The whole forecast period starts quiet and stays that way for a long stretch. For the first week and a half, from Sunday the 6th right through to the middle of the following week, the swell is tiny and weak. We're talking knee-high at best, with short-period wind swell that's mostly coming from the west-northwest. The combined swell energy is very low, rarely getting above 60. On top of that, the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, chopping things up. Even the couple of glassy mornings we get, like Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th, the waves are just too small and weak to bother with. It's a real bummer.
The first real hint of something happening comes on Thursday the 17th of September. Thursday morning sees a jump in swell height to 5ft, with the combined energy climbing to 241—that's moderate energy, the best we see in this whole run. The swell is coming from the west with an 8-second period, which is short-period wind swell. But the wind is onshore from the WSW at 10 km/h, so it's not going to be clean. The conditions are described as marginal, so it's not a total write-off for a dedicated surfer, but it's nothing to get excited about. Thursday afternoon is a no-go with cross-onshore wind.
Then on Friday the 18th of September, the morning offers a glimmer. Swell drops back to 3ft from the WNW with an 8-second period, but the combined energy is a moderate 104. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, which is a major positive. The report says the waves are surfable but very ordinary. For a spot that's been flat for nearly two weeks, that's the closest we get to a highlight. It's a small, clean wave for beginners or a longboard, but it's not going to blow anyone away. After that, it's back to tiny, weak, and choppy for the rest of the run.
So, the standout here is Friday morning the 18th of September. It's the cleanest window we get, but the size is tiny and the quality is only ordinary. If you're desperate for a paddle, that's your slot. For the rest of this 16-day stretch, you're better off doing something else. The water temperature on the 6th is 86°, which is a notable 4° warmer than usual for this time of year—so it's a bath, at least.
Keep your chin up, it can't stay this flat 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.
