The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. I’ve looked over the charts for our little patch, and I gotta be honest with you – it’s a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty flat and messy. There are no good surf options at all. We’re looking at a blank run from the 24th of July all the way through to the 8th of August. Not a single day worth paddling out for.
The only spot we’ve got on the radar is Nirvana Beach, but it’s a consistent letdown. It’s an exposed beach break, beginner-friendly usually, but it’s inconsistent, and the swell direction is all wrong – we want it from the west, but it’s coming in from the west-northwest. The wind is the real killer here. It’s almost always a cross-onshore breeze, anywhere from a gentle 6 mph to a moderate 16 mph, chopping everything up. We get a few pulses of swell, like around the 25th of July when the combined energy hits 294 (moderate wave energy) with a 5 ft swell, but the wind is a cross-onshore 12 mph, so it’s just a choppy, blown-out mess. The period is short, around 6 to 9 seconds, so there’s no real power to the waves. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
There’s a tiny window on the 27th of July morning when the wind switches to a clean cross-shore, but the swell is only 3 ft with a weak energy of 130 (moderate wave energy) and a short 8-second period – it’s small, weak, and not worth the drive. Honestly, for a beach break like this with onshore winds and gutless swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Hard lines, but the forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it. 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.
