The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are pretty bloody flat and miserable for Nirvana Beach. There’s nothing surfable on the menu for the whole 16-day stretch. We’ve got a blank run that’s going to test your patience, and it’s not looking like a quick fix either. The first real chance of anything even resembling a wave is a solid week and a half away, and even that’s only just over 3 feet of weak, short-period slop. For a stretch this long with nothing worth paddling out for, you’re better off getting the kitesurfing gear out, because right now the cross-onshore winds and tiny waves are more interesting for them than us.
Starting now and running through the 15th of September, the swell is just not there. We’re looking at a piddly 1 to 2 feet of short-period WNW windswell, with periods stuck at 6 seconds or less. The energy readings are pathetic, mostly in the teens and twenties, with the combined energy reading (22, and often much less) showing just how weak the whole thing is. It’s poor surf conditions, morning, noon, and night. The winds are mostly cross-onshore, light at times, but it’s a waste of time. On the 13th morning there’s a hint of onshore but it’s still just junky ankle-biters.
From the 16th to the 18th, the swell ticks up marginally, but we’re still talking about a max of 4 feet on the 17th morning, with a period of 6 seconds. The energy gets a little more interesting, with the combined reading hitting 82, but that’s still weak to low-moderate at best. The wind is mostly cross-onshore, and the surf quality remains flat-out poor. The 18th is cross-shore, which does nothing to help the tiny lines.
There’s a little blip on the 19th morning where the wind goes glassy. It’s the only time in the whole run we see that. The swell is still only 2 feet from the WNW with a 7-second period, and the energy is weak (17). It’s completely tiny, but if you’re desperate for a 1-foot splash, that’s the cleanest it’ll get. The afternoon blows out with a 15 mph cross-onshore, so don’t bother.
Then we’re back into the doldrums. From the 20th to the 22nd, we get some onshore and cross-onshore wind, with a small bump to 3 feet on the 22nd morning from the NW (56 energy). Still 6 seconds, still junky, still poor. The 23rd rolls in with some rain showers and more cross-onshore wind, keeping things messy. The entire period is a washout. There are no standouts, no excuses, just a long flat spell. Suck it up, find a lake or a skatepark, and check back in a few weeks. The forecast can always change, but right now, I wouldn’t even bring a board.

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.
