The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m going to level with you: the next couple of weeks at Nirvana Beach are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy waves, so don’t be expecting to get your quiver wet much.
The combined swell energy is bottoming out, mostly in the teens and twenties (35-69), which is weak energy. The swell direction is consistently from the WNW, but the period is a short, punchless 6 seconds, sometimes dropping to 5 – that’s all windswell, no real grunt behind it. The water temperature is sitting at 84°, a touch warmer than normal, but that’s about the only nice thing I can say.
Right now, through Saturday and Sunday (August 8th-9th), we’ve got a tiny 2ft to 3ft windswell with onshore or cross-onshore winds. It’s choppy and poor. Monday and Tuesday (August 10th-11th) aren’t any better, with the swell dropping to 2ft-2ft and those cross-shore breezes keeping things bumpy. The rest of that first week and into the second is a dead loss – puny 1ft to 2ft waves, mostly cross-on winds, and the energy is just pathetic.
The only real blip on the radar comes around Monday, August 17th. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the WNW, and the period finally stretches to 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 136-147 (moderate energy), which is the most we’ll see in the whole outlook. But the wind is still onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s going to be a lumpy, difficult paddle. This is a beginner spot, and 4ft with onshore wind means it’s not going to be quality. Not a standout – just the least bad of a bad bunch.
There’s a disappointing gap after that. From Wednesday, August 19th, right through to the end of the forecast on Sunday, August 23rd, the swell collapses back to 1ft-2ft with the same short period. The combined energy drops to single digits and low teens, barely a ripple. Honestly, the whole 16-day window is a write-off for surfing. With the small, weak swell and persistent onshore winds, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, if you’re into that. For now, stay home, wax up a board for better days, and keep an eye on the charts – we’re due for a change.
Rusty.

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.
