The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a grim stretch. The entire 16-day forecast is pretty much a write-off for any kind of decent surf. We’re looking at a long, dry run with nothing worth paddling out for.
The only spot on the radar is Nirvana Beach, but it’s not looking good. It’s an exposed, inconsistent beginner break that needs a west swell to really work, and we just aren’t getting it. The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is about 2° warmer than average for this time of year, so it’s a touch warm, but that’s the only thing going for it.
From Saturday the 18th all the way through to Sunday the 2nd of August, every single session is rated as poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1 ft to 3 ft, and coming from the WNW. The period is short, between 5 and 8 seconds, so there’s no grunt or shape to these waves. The combined energy is weak, barely cracking 100 (values like 35 and 83). The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up what little bump there is. There’s no standout, no hidden gem, nothing.
Honestly, the setup at Nirvana Beach is so weak and choppy it looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer for most of this period. The closest we get to anything is around the 25th of July, where the swell bumps up to 5 ft and the energy hits 232, but it's still poor quality with cross-onshore wind. That’s not a surf session, that’s a wrestling match.
It’s a blank run. There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. Sometimes the ocean just goes to sleep, and this is one of those times. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
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.
