The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be real about the 16-day outlook for Nirvana Beach. It’s a tough one.
Right off the bat, I’ve got to tell you the first halfway decent surf doesn’t show up until Saturday the 25th of July. For the week before that, from Friday the 17th right through Friday the 24th, it’s flat to barely dribbling. The swell is tiny – 1ft to 2ft – and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, keeping everything messy. Water temp is about 82°F, which is pretty normal for the time of year, so no worries there.
The first little bump comes Saturday the 25th. We get a 4ft WNW swell pushing in the morning with a short period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 140. But the wind is cross-on from the SW, so it’s going to be a bit bumpy. The afternoon drops back to 3ft with the same messy wind. This is a beginner-friendly spot, but the surf quality is poor. It’s inconsistent here by nature, so you’re gambling on a couple of closeouts.
Sunday the 26th is more of the same – 2ft in the morning, climbing to 3ft in the afternoon, but that cross-on wind never lets up. The wave energy is weak in the morning, then moderate at 48 in the afternoon. Not worth paddling out for.
Monday the 27th sees a bit more energy – 3ft and combined energy hitting 126 in the morning and 135 in the afternoon. The problem is the wind is cross-on from the NNW at 12-15 mph, making it choppy. The swell is short period (7 seconds), so it’s going to be a bit on the weak side.
The rest of the run into early August is a slow fade. Swell drops to 2-2ft, energy falls off, and the wind stays cross-on. The only glimmer is Thursday the 30th morning with a 2ft WNW swell and light offshore wind from the WNW, but it’s so small it’s barely rideable.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The biggest bump is Saturday the 25th, but it’s not clean. If you’re desperate, that’s your best bet, but don’t expect much. For a break that’s already inconsistent, this run is a write-off. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with all this cross-on wind.
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.
