The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about Nirvana Beach. The outlook is a real bummer, I’m gutted to say. For the whole 16-day window, there’s not a single slot that gets the green light. We’ve got a long stretch of flat or weak, wind-ruined conditions.
The first real hope doesn’t even show until Saturday, July 25th, and even then it’s only a marginal early morning window. The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than average for this time of year – feels like a warm bath, but it won’t save the surf.
Let’s run through the dates. From Wednesday the 15th right through to Friday the 24th, it’s all poor surf, day after day. Swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, with a short period of 7 or 8 seconds, and the wind is either cross-on or onshore, just messing up any chance of a clean face. The combined wave energy is weak, barely cracking 80 (83) on the best of those days, and mostly in the teens or twenties. Not worth paddling out for.
The only flicker of life is on Saturday, July 25th, early morning. We see a bump in the swell to 5ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds and the combined energy jumping to 270 – that’s moderate wave energy, finally. The wind is light from the SW, so it’s a light cross-onshore with small ripples. The file calls it “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions,” and I’d agree. It’s the single best option in the whole run, but it’s not a standout. After that, it drops back to poor again for the rest of the window.
Nirvana Beach is exposed to the west, and the optimum swell direction is west, so when the swell does show from the WNW, it’s a bit off-angle. It’s an inconsistent beginner break, and crowds are sometimes an issue, but with this forecast, there won’t be anyone out. If you’re a beginner, there’s nothing here to learn on. Honestly, with the onshore winds and weak, short-period swell, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer for the next two weeks.
Hang in there. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board in the car.
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.
