The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve looked the whole 16 days up and down, and it’s a tough one. There’s just not a single session that’s worth paddling out for in this entire window. The only break on offer is Nirvana Beach, but the conditions are a proper struggle.
The whole period starts flat and stays that way. From Thursday the 23rd right through to Wednesday the 6th of August, you’re looking at a real dry spell. There’s surf on the charts, but it’s all blown out or messy. The swell comes in from the WNW, but the wind is almost always coming from the SW or WSW, putting it straight onshore, making everything choppy and unappealing. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s comfortable.
Now, if you’re desperate for a look on Saturday the 25th of July, the swell bumps up to 6 ft from the WNW, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 412 (moderate), but the wind is still cross-on at 12 mph, and the wave comment is "poor surf conditions". It’s just not clean. Sunday the 26th sees a window of light offshore wind from the W at 6 mph in the morning, with swell around 3 ft, but the period is a weak 7 seconds and the energy is low at 88.
Further out, on the 31st of July, the swell period stretches to 10 seconds from the WNW, with a 3 ft swell and 120 energy, but again, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore for most of it. Nothing lines up. The break is inconsistent at the best of times, and with the wind never playing nice, there’s just no clean, rideable wave to be had.
Hang in there, mate. It tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can change. But for now, leave the board in the car.

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.
