Nirvana Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s check out what’s going down at Nirvana Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Straight up, I’ve gotta be honest with you – it’s looking pretty flat and quiet. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a struggle. There’s nothing that really jumps out as a proper session. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and choppy conditions, so don’t expect any hero moments.

For the first break, Nirvana Beach, there’s just not much to get excited about. The water temperature is sitting at 86°F, which is a fair bit warmer than what you’d normally expect for this time of year – about 4°F above average, so that’s pretty notable. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1 ft to 3 ft, coming from the WNW. The swell period is short, between 5 and 8 seconds, so it’s weak, windswell stuff. The combined energy is weak, sitting between 45 and 62 early on, then dropping even lower. The wind is mostly cross-onshore, which messes up what little wave shape there is. There are a couple of glassy moments – Tuesday morning the 8th and Tuesday morning the 15th – but with the swell that small, it’s barely a ripple.

The surf quality is poor across the board, and the score is a flat zero for every single time slot. There’s no standout session, no cleaner window, nothing. The only slight change is on Thursday the 17th morning, where the swell bumps up to 3 ft from the NW, but again, the wind is cross-onshore and the period is still short. It’s not going to be a day to remember.

Because the swell rarely gets above 2 ft, it’s fine for beginners to mess around on a foamie, but there’s no real power or shape. The break is exposed to the W swell and the optimum direction is W, but the energy is just too low to do anything with. It’s inconsistent, and honestly, it’s more of a paddle than a surf.

Looking further ahead, into the second week, it stays the same – small, weak, and messy. The combined energy drops into single digits by the end of the window. There’s a tiny spike on the 17th morning with energy of 47, but that’s still weak. The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, so no clean conditions to speak of.

So, what’s the call? There’s no real surf on offer here. If you’re desperate for a dip, the Tuesday mornings might be glassy, but you’ll be bobbing around on nothing. It’s a blank run for this area, and it tends not to stay this poor for long, so keep an eye on the forecasts – they’ll change.

Rusty.
