The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Nirvana Beach. Straight up, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and messy. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the water’s going to be chopped up. It’s one of those stretches where you’re better off doing a surf check from the car park than paddling out.
The water temp is sitting at 85°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a bit of a silver lining if you do decide to go for a swim, but for surfing, it’s not doing us any favors.
We’re looking at a solid gap with no good surf on offer for the entire 16-day window. The first couple of days are just weak, short-period slop. Tuesday afternoon the 4th has a 2ft swell from the WNW with a period of 5 seconds, and a cross-on breeze. That’s about as exciting as it gets, which is not exciting at all. The energy is weak, with a combined energy reading of just 23.
Wednesday the 5th through the weekend stays in the same rut – 2ft to 3ft swells, periods of 6 to 7 seconds, and almost always a cross-on wind messing it up. The energy stays low, mostly in the 20s and 30s, with a few afternoon bumps into the 40s and 60s, but it’s all just wind chop on top of a tiny swell. Not worth the drive.
The next week, from the 11th through the 17th, doesn’t offer any real hope either. The swell stays stubbornly small, around 1ft to 3ft, and the periods stay short. The wind is still cross-on or onshore, so the surface will be poor. There’s a slight lift in the combined energy on the 18th, with readings of 82 and 92, and the swell finally touches 3ft to 4ft, but with a period of only 6 seconds, it’s going to be a bumpy, weak mess. The wind is still not cooperating.
The last day, the 19th, has a morning with a light NNW wind, but it’s still cross-on, and the swell drops back to 3ft with a 6-second period. The energy is still only 51. It’s just more of the same.
So, bottom line: there are no good surf options on offer in this entire 16-day stretch. Nirvana Beach is an inconsistent spot, and this is one of those times it’s living up to that name. The good news is, it’s a consistent enough break in the long run that it won’t stay this poor forever. Forecasts change, and this is just a rough patch. Keep the board ready, but don’t hold your breath for the next couple of weeks.

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.
