The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a 16-day window that starts with a whole lot of nothing and then only offers a glimmer of hope right at the very end. The water is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing heating up. There’s a long gap of poor conditions before things finally get interesting.
Nirvana Beach is the only spot on the cards, and for the first week and a half, it’s just not worth paddling out. We’re talking from Saturday 22 August all the way through to Saturday 6 September. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1 ft to 3 ft, with a short period of 5 to 8 seconds. The wind is nearly always onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. Wave energy is weak, with readings like 19 to 73 (kilojoules per metre). The ‘poor surf conditions’ tag is spot on.
Now, there is a bright spot, but it’s a long way off. On Sunday 6 September, the morning shows a bit of life. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is light from the SW, a light cross-onshore, and wave energy jumps to 186 (kilojoules per metre). It’s still not perfect, but it’s the best we’ve got. For a beginner break, this is just about manageable, but it’s not going to be a classic. The afternoon offers a similar 4 ft, but the wind shifts to a stronger NW cross-onshore, making it choppier.
Given the near-constant poor conditions for the vast majority of the forecast, the only real standout option is the morning of Sunday 6 September. It’s the biggest swell of the period, with the most energy, and the wind is as light as it gets. Just keep your expectations in check – it’s more of a ‘maybe worth a look’ than a ‘drop everything and go’ situation.
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.
