The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s check the surf for Nirvana Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s a barren stretch. A lot of days ahead where the board stays in the car. The start of the forecast is dead, with tiny waves and junk conditions for a long time.
The water temp is a warm 86°, running a touch above the norm for this time of year – no wetsuit needed.
From Saturday, August 15th right up until the morning of Friday, August 28th, it’s a complete write-off. The swell is little – often under 3ft – with short, weak periods and messy onshore or cross-onshore winds. There are a couple of calm mornings, but the swell is practically non-existent and the energy is weak (combining for values mostly under 100, and often as low as 5 or 9). The wave comment says "poor surf conditions" every single time. Nothing worth paddling for, not even for beginners. That’s a 13-day gap with no real options.
Then, late in the window, a spark. On Friday, August 28th, things finally change. The swell builds to 4ft from the W at 8 seconds in the morning, holding steady into the afternoon. The wave energy steps up into the moderate range (169 in the morning, then 186 in the afternoon), and the wind goes light and offshore from the WNW. That’s clean, rideable surf. Not big, but for this break, it’s the highlight of the whole outlook.
Then on Saturday, August 29th, the swell gets a little bigger – 5ft in the morning from the WNW with a longer 9-second period, and the afternoon holds 5ft with a 10-second period. The energy really kicks (383 in the morning, 450 in the afternoon), giving it some real punch. The morning has a gentle cross-shore breeze, but the afternoon turns offshore from the W. This is the best window you’ll get, but don’t expect perfection – the wave comment still reads "poor surf conditions." For an inconsistent spot like this, you take what you can get. The longer period will mean cleaner lines, but at a beach break, it might run a bit straight.
Bottom line: you wait 13 days for two days of surf. Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th of August are your go days. Get it while the wind is kind.

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.
