The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it's a pretty bleak run ahead. The entire 16-day window is looking flat and mostly blown out. We're looking at almost a full two weeks of waiting, with very little to get excited about. The only day that even gets a nod is Saturday the 29th of August, and even that's for the early morning session only. The water temperature is sitting at 86°, which is a couple of degrees warmer than the norm for this time of year, so you'll be sweating in your wettie if you bother.
From now until the end of the month, it's a constant stream of poor surf, with tiny swell, cross-shore winds, and choppy conditions. The combined wave energy barely gets into double digits, with readings like 76 and 96 being the best of a bad lot, which is weak. The swell is small, around 2 ft to 3 ft, and from the WNW, but the period is short (around 5-7 seconds), so it's just messy, wind-driven junk.
The only real standout is Nirvana Beach on the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. For a few hours, the wind goes glassy, which is a massive positive. It'll be clean. The swell is still only 3 ft from the WNW with a short 7-second period, so the combined wave energy is a weak 78. It's not going to be pumping, but it will be the only time you won't be getting blown off your board. If you're desperate for a knee-high, clean, and glassy session, that's your only window. The break is inconsistent, so don't be surprised if you're sitting there for a while between sets. It's also a beginner spot, so keep that in mind.
The rest of the month and into the first few days of September is a write-off. The swell drops to nothing, and winds are either onshore or cross-shore. Expect a lot of time on the sand.
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.
