The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a bit of a sad story for you this time. Looking at the whole 16-day window for Nirvana Beach, honestly, there’s not a day that’s going to get the heart pumping. The waves are just too small and too weak to bother with.
Right from the start on Thursday the 30th, we’ve got tiny swells, only 3ft from the WNW, but the wind is a messy cross-on that’ll have you scratching your head. The combined swell energy is a pitiful 54, which is basically flat-out weak. And it’s only downhill from there. For the next few weeks, we’re looking at swell heights that barely crack 3ft, with periods of 5 to 8 seconds – that’s short-period, weak windswell, not anything that’s going to wrap around and give you a decent ride. The wind is almost always some version of cross-onshore, even when it’s light, it just messes up the tiny bumps.
There is one brief moment on Friday the 31st morning where the wind goes glassy, and the swell is a measly 2ft. The combined energy is still just 61. You might get a knee-high wobbler if you’re desperate, but don’t kid yourself – a true surfer would feel silly paddling out for that.
From there, it’s just a long, drawn-out run of “poor surf conditions” all the way until August 14th. We’re talking day after day of sub-3ft slop. The water temperature is sitting at a balmy 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time, so at least you’ll be comfortable while you’re not catching anything.
This break is exposed to the west and needs a proper swell from that direction, but what we’re seeing is tiny WNW pulses with no power. For a beginner-level spot that is already inconsistent, this is just a total shutdown. Honestly, with the near-flat conditions and persistent cross-shore wind, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
In short, don’t bother. There are simply no good surf options in this 16-day window. A blank run like this is more normal for the area when the swell windows don’t line up.

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.
