The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough run coming up for Nirvana Beach. We’re looking at a 16-day window with basically no surf worth paddling out for. You’re not gonna want to drag your board down for this.
We start off on Saturday the 29th of August with a tiny 2ft of weak, short-period swell pushing in from the WNW. The energy is practically nothing at 72, and with a fresh 30 km/h cross-onshore wind, it’s gonna be choppy, lumpy, and just plain ugly. The water is sitting at a very unusual 86°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels more like a bath than the ocean. After that, the numbers just get sadder. A little bump on Sunday the 30th with 5ft swell and a moderate 20 km/h onshore wind, but it’s still all scored as poor conditions. The combined energy climbs to 334, which is moderate, but the wind ruins any chance of a decent wave.
From there it’s a long, drawn-out slide into nothing. From Monday the 31st right through to Saturday the 13th of September, the swell barely holds onto 3ft at best, and most days it’s down around 1ft to 2ft with periods of 6 to 8 seconds. That’s weak, windswell junk. The combined energy readings are all in the double digits – 10 to 88 – which tells you just how limp it is. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, with a few brief moments of glass – like on Monday morning the 7th of September and Saturday morning the 12th of September. Those few hours might look clean, but with only 2ft and 2ft of weak 6-second swell, it’s barely a ripple. Even if you’re a beginner, there’s nothing fun to catch here.
Nirvana Beach is already an inconsistent spot, and this forecast is a total blank run. For this area, that’s fairly normal – it tends to go through quiet stretches. You just gotta wait it out. Don’t bother checking the buoy, just keep an eye on the forecast; the wind might change and bring something better, but right now, there’s nothing on offer.

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.
