The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a pretty bleak run ahead at Nirvana Beach. This spot is inconsistent at the best of times, and unfortunately, the entire 16-day window looks like a write-off for any decent surf. From now right through to the 13th of September, it’s a long stretch of poor surf conditions with tiny, weak swell and messy wind.
Let’s start with the pattern. The swell is small and weak across the whole period, with combined energy values staying low, mostly under 100 (weak energy). The biggest pulse comes on Sunday the 30th of August, with a 5ft swell from the WNW at 9 seconds, and combined energy of 296 (moderate). But it’s blown out by a strong 9 mph onshore wind, so it’s a messy, bumpy mess. Not worth paddling out for.
The water temperature at Nirvana Beach is 86°, which is 4° warmer than average for this time of year – that’s notably warm, but it won’t help the waves.
The only glimmer comes on Tuesday the 8th of September, when the morning sees a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE at 6 mph, cleaning up the 3ft WNW swell (8 seconds, combined energy 99). The comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – it’s the only time in the whole forecast that’s even close to rideable. But with such weak energy and short period, it’s not going to hold you up. The afternoon that same day gets smashed by a fresh 19 mph cross-shore, so that window is tiny.
After that, it’s back to tiny, onshore slop right through to the 13th of September. Honestly, for a beach break that’s inconsistent and rarely has anything going, this is a blank run. If you’re desperate, the Tuesday morning on the 8th of September is your only chance, but don’t expect much. Otherwise, the board stays on the roof.
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.
