The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I’m going to give it to you straight for Nirvana Beach. Over the next 16 days, there’s not a single good session to recommend. Zip. Zero.
Starting from Wednesday the 12th of August, we’ve got a tiny 1ft of west-northwest swell with a short period of 7 seconds. Water temp is a balmy 85°, about a touch warmer than normal, but that’s the only nice thing I can say. The combined swell energy is a weak (17), and the wind is blowing onshore from the west-northwest at 9 mph. It’s just poor.
And the story doesn’t change. All the way through to Thursday the 27th of August, it’s the same sad song. There are big gaps with no good surf. Swell bumps up to about 3ft on a few mornings, like Sunday the 16th and Saturday the 22nd, but the period stays short – 5 to 8 seconds – and the wind is always cross-onshore or onshore. Even when we get a light breeze, the waves are too weak and chopped up to matter.
Nirvana Beach is an exposed west-facing break that wants a clean west groundswell. We’re not getting anything close. The combined swell energy never gets out of the weak range – the best is 94 on that Sunday morning, still not enough. There is no standout day, no saving grace.
For beginners, the tiny 1ft to 3ft swell isn’t dangerous, but the choppy, wind-blown junk makes it worthless for learning. Honestly, with the steady cross-onshore wind, this stretch looks better for kite surfing than a paddle session. For pure surf, just wait for a new forecast.
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.
