The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s have a look at what’s going on over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this stretch is a quiet one. The entire 16-day window from Sunday the 23rd of August through Monday the 7th of September is a run of poor surf conditions at Nirvana Beach. There are no standout sessions, no days to circle on the calendar. It’s a long gap with nothing really worth paddling out for, so don’t get your hopes up.
The whole period is stuck with tiny swell. Heights hover between 1.0 ft and 3 ft, with the combined energy of all swells directed here staying weak (values between 5 and 72). The swell direction is mostly from the west-northwest or west, and the period is short, mostly 5 to 8 seconds, so the waves will be weak and crumbly. Winds are cross-onshore almost every day, coming from the southwest, west-northwest, or northwest at 6 mph to 16 mph, which will keep the surface bumpy. A couple of mornings, like Sunday the 30th of August and Sunday the 6th of September, go glassy with a northerly breeze, but the swell is too small – 1 ft to 2 ft – to bother with.
The water temperature is 86° with an anomaly of 3° – a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that stands out. The break is a beginner-friendly spot, exposed to west swell, but it’s inconsistent and you can expect crowds sometimes. Unfortunately, none of that matters when there’s no power in the water.
Bottom line: leave the board in the shed. Check back in a week or two – forecasts can always shift. This blank stretch is more normal for the area when the swell window goes quiet.

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.
