The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here with the lowdown on Nirvana Beach for the next couple of weeks.
I've got to level with you – it's a real bummer of a forecast. We're looking at a long, flat spell where the surf just doesn't show up. The combined swell energy is weak, mostly in the double digits, barely hitting 100 (72 on the morning of the 29th, a brief spike to 315 on the morning of the 30th, but it doesn't help the quality). The swell is a short-period, wind-driven affair, topping out at 5 feet on the morning of the 30th with a period of only 9 seconds and a poor onshore wind. The water's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 86°, but that's small comfort when there's nothing to ride.
Forget the 29th – Saturday morning's got 2 feet of weak WNW swell with a cross-shore wind, and the water's already choppy. It's a write-off. The best of a bad bunch is the morning of the 30th (Sunday), where we see 5 feet of swell and a 9-second period, but it's straight onshore from the west and the energy is still only moderate (315). That's gonna be a messy, blown-out shorebreak. Not for beginners, and honestly not much fun for anyone else. After that, it's a long, slow fade into tiny, gutless waves day after day. The 31st, 1st, 2nd... all the way through to the 13th of September, it's tiny swell, short periods between 4 and 8 seconds, and mostly cross-onshore or onshore wind. The combined energy drops well below 100, often into the teens. It's a cruel run. You'll see a few mornings with clean conditions from a cross-offshore breeze, like the 7th and 8th of September, but the swell is only 1 feet to 2 feet, so it's a flat, glassy lake.
There's no standout session here. No break to recommend. The setup is so poor that even with the light winds, the lack of any real swell means it's more of a paddle or a snooze on the beach. For a spot that's already inconsistent, this is a particularly blank run. Keep the board in the car, but don't get your hopes up. Forecasts can change, but it's looking grim.
Rusty out.

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.
