The Lowdown
Alright, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Nirvana Beach over the next 16 days is a real bummer. There are no good surf options on the table at all right now. The whole forecast window is a flat spell with barely a ripple to get excited about. It’s a tough run, but for this area, a blank stretch like this isn’t unheard of. Keep your chin up, because forecasts can shift, and it rarely stays dead for long.
We start off on Saturday, 8th August, with a tiny 2ft swell from the WNW, but it’s a short-period 6-second windswell, and the cross-on SW wind chops it up straight away. The combined wave energy is a weak 35, and conditions are just poor. Sunday the 9th isn’t any better – a bit more height at 3ft, but the wind is onshore from the W at 6 mph in the morning, shifting cross-on in the arvo. Still messy, still crap. Monday the 10th through to Wednesday the 12th, the swell drops even further, down to 1ft to 2ft, with periods stuck at 4-6 seconds. Winds are cross or cross-on, and the energy readings are pathetic, between 7 and 37. You’re looking at barely a bump.
The middle of the week doesn’t offer any hope. Thursday the 13th through Saturday the 15th, the swell hovers around 1ft to 1ft, energy in the single digits or low teens. Onshore and cross-on winds keep it messy. Sunday the 16th sees a tiny lift to 2ft, but the wind is cross-on from the SW at 9 mph, and the energy is still only 27. It’s a forgettable session.
There’s a tiny glimmer on Monday the 17th of August – the swell finally pushes up to 3ft from the WNW with a 7-second period, and the combined energy climbs to 83 in the morning, then 102 in the afternoon. That’s the biggest energy we see all window, but it’s still a weak, short-period windswell with onshore W wind at 12 mph. The conditions are still marked as poor. For a beginner spot like Nirvana Beach, that 3ft is fine size-wise, but the wind and chop ruin it.
From Tuesday the 18th right through to Sunday the 23rd of August, we’re back to tiny, weak swells – 1ft to 3ft, periods of 5-7 seconds, and energy readings dropping from 77 back down to single digits. The wind stays onshore or cross-on for most of it. There’s not a single standout session in the whole 16 days. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no drama there, but it’s not gonna help you catch a wave.
Hang in there, folks. Sometimes the ocean just takes a nap. This is one of those times.

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.
