The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—the next couple of weeks at Nirvana Beach are a real grind. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak, wonky swell, and there’s not a single day I’d tell you to paddle out for a proper session. Things won’t really get interesting, so let’s work through it.
The forecast kicks off on Tuesday the 25th of August and through the whole first week, right up into early September, we’ve got tiny waves. Tuesday morning sees a 2ft W swell at 6 seconds, but it’s cross-on and messy. The combined energy is just 17 (very weak). That’s a nothing burger. This pattern holds for days: Wednesday the 26th is the same story, Thursday the 27th sees a bump to 2ft from the WNW with a period of 7 seconds and energy of 35, but still cross-on. Friday and Saturday (28th and 29th) stay tiny and poor. Nothing changes through Sunday the 30th—3ft WNW at 8 seconds, energy 69 (still weak) but cross-on chop. Monday the 31st is flat.
There’s a gap of several days with absolutely nothing worth a mention. Tuesday the 1st of September is glassy in the morning with 1.0ft WNW at 5 seconds, but the energy is a pathetic 5. That’s basically a lake. The first faint glimmer comes Wednesday the 2nd of September: morning glass, 2ft WNW at 7 seconds, energy jumps to 54. The file says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions”—and it’s true. That’s the best on offer, but it’s still just knee-high dribble. Crowds are “sometimes” an issue here, so you might have company for those nothing waves.
From there, it’s back to the same small, cross-on, poor-quality nothingness right through to the 9th of September. The swell never tops 3ft, period rarely gets above 8 seconds, and the wind is almost always cross-on. The only real standout is that Wednesday the 2nd morning, and only because it’s glassy and there’s a flicker of energy (54). But let’s be real: this is a beginner break, inconsistent, and the waves just aren’t there.
Water temp is average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Bottom line: I’d leave the board at home. Keep an eye on the charts—this run of poor conditions won’t last forever, but right now, Nirvana Beach is a flat, choppy mess.

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.
