The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Nirvana Beach over the next couple of weeks. Straight up – it’s a tough stretch. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, and the wave quality is just poor day after day. This spot is inconsistent at the best of times, and right now it’s not showing any signs of life. The water temp is sitting about 82°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only positive I can find.
Looking at the whole 16-day window from July 20 right through to August 4, there’s not a single session that’s worth paddling out for. The combined swell energy barely reaches three digits on a couple of days – a weak 125 on Saturday July 25 morning, but even then the wind is cross-shore and the wave height is only 4 ft with a short 7-second period. The rest of the time the energy is down in the teens or thirties, heights are below 3 ft, and periods are mostly 5 to 6 seconds. That’s barely a ripple.
For a beginner-friendly break like Nirvana Beach, you’d want clean, small waves, but the wind is never offshore. It’s either cross-on or onshore, making for choppy, bumpy conditions. The optimum swell direction is from the west, and we do see a few west pulses, but they’re too weak and short-period to do anything. The crowd factor is “sometimes” but honestly, with no surf, crowds won’t be an issue.
So, bottom line: there’s nothing on offer. No standouts, no hidden gems. This kind of blank run is more normal for an inconsistent spot like this – forecasts can change, but right now, I’d say leave the board at home and go for a swim instead. The water’s warm, at least.
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.
