The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the next couple of weeks. It’s not going to be pretty, I’ll tell you that right now. We’re looking at a real flat spell ahead.
Honestly, for the next week and a half, the waves are going to be tiny and mostly messy. We're talking ankle-biters from the 11th right through to the 21st. The swell's there, but it's weak, with energy readings in the single digits and teens for the most part. Even when it bumps up slightly on the 16th, it’s still just poor surf, with cross-onshore winds chopping up any attempt at a clean face. The period is short, around 5 to 7 seconds, so there’s no power behind it. This is a time to check your wax, fix your dings, and wait.
There is a slight, and I mean *slight*, glimmer on the horizon. On the 22nd, early, things look like they might finally click, but it's not for the faint of heart. The swell is still small at 2.6ft, but the wind goes glassy. It's still only a 1 out of 10 situation, but at least it's surfable. The break is Nirvana Beach, and for a beginner spot that is exposed to a W swell, the energy is still weak, reading 41. It’s a small window of clean conditions, but it's something.
Then the 23rd morning shows a similar story – a bit of glassy wind and a touch more period at 8 seconds, with energy at 61, but the swell has dropped back to 1.6ft. It's a long paddle for not much push. After that, it looks like we're back into the small, crumbly stuff right through to the 26th, with the swell fading away again.
So, here's the deal. There are no standouts in this window. The only time I’d even bother paddling out is on the morning of the 22nd (Tuesday) or the 23rd (Wednesday) at Nirvana Beach, and that’s only if you’re desperate for a few clean, tiny waves on a longboard. The crowds shouldn't be an issue, as it's usually inconsistent here anyway. Don't get your hopes up for anything else. It’s a lean stretch.

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.
