The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, same raw deal, just in feet and miles per hour.
Let's be straight with Nirvana Beach. Over the next 16 days, it's a frustrating outlook. For the first week, we're looking at a constant parade of light to moderate cross-onshore winds and waves that are barely breaking. The water is bath-warm, nearly 3° warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's where the positives stop.
From Friday the 28th through Thursday the 3rd of September, it's a flat spell. We're talking about 1ft to 3ft of weak, short-period (mostly 5-8 seconds) slop from the WNW, but the wind is always cross-onshore or onshore, chopping everything up. The combined energy is pathetic, barely cracking 100 in the best case, and the wave report just says "poor surf conditions" over and over. The wind direction (W/SW/WNW) is never doing us any favors; it's just a lumpy mess.
Into the second week, from Monday the 4th to Saturday the 12th of September, the story doesn't change: tiny 1ft to 2ft swell, lousy period, and mostly dirty cross-onshore conditions. There is one tiny sliver of hope on Monday morning, the 7th of September. The swell is still only 2ft from the WNW with a 7-second period, but the wind goes glassy. The report calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," which is the best we'll see all forecast, earning it a 1 out of 10.
Nirvana Beach is an exposed beginner spot that is inconsistent. With no surf over 5ft and the wind never turning cleanly offshore, this is a total blank run. There are no standout days—nothing even close. This stretch is so weak and wind-battered that for the entire 16-day window, a paddle surfer would be wasting their time. Honestly, with the constant cross-onshore breeze and tiny, weak swell, this setup looks far more interesting for a kite surfer to get a few runs in than for anyone with a surfboard.
Keep the stoke, but not for this spot. We'll see if the long-range forecast changes.
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.
