The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the next 16 days at Nirvana Beach are looking pretty grim. There's no surf on offer right now, and the forecast shows a long, dry spell with nothing worth paddling out for. The first recommendation doesn't appear until much later, and even then, it's not great.
The water temp is sitting at 84° right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the water's nice if you feel like a float.
From day one, we're looking at a stretch of weak, wind-affected surf. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 2ft, with a short period of 5 to 6 seconds. The wind is almost always cross-on or onshore, and the combined energy is weak, ranging from 12 to 88. It's just not doing anything. The wave comment is "poor surf conditions" all the way through.
There's a slight bump around the 16th and 17th of August, with the swell creeping up to 3ft and the period hitting 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 75 and 88, but it's still weak. The wind is still messy, cross-on or onshore, so it's just going to be a choppy, blown-out mess. Not worth the drive.
Then it drops right back down again. The forecast is completely empty of any decent, rideable waves. There's a gap of about 11 days with no real recommendation. The consistency is poor, and honestly, this is just a blank run for the area. It's a beach break, exposed to the west, but the swell direction is coming from the WNW, which is just not lining up with the optimum westerly direction that Nirvana Beach needs. The crowds are listed as "sometimes", but with surf this bad, nobody's going to be out there.
In short, leave the boards at home. The forecast can change, but right now, there's nothing to get excited about. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, I'd be looking for a different hobby.

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.
