The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve stared at the charts for Nirvana Beach and, to be blunt, it’s a tough stretch ahead. The whole 16-day outlook is a long, flat, and messy run with no good surf on offer.
From Monday the 24th of August right through to Tuesday the 8th of September, every single forecast window is flagged as poor surf conditions. You’ve got tiny swell – mostly around 1ft to 4ft, with a short period of 4 to 9 seconds. The combined energy is weak, barely cracking triple digits on a few occasions – hitting a peak of 164 on the morning of Sunday the 6th of September, but even then it’s still a cross-onshore mess with only moderate energy (164). The wind is consistently cross-onshore or onshore, with the best you’ll see being a light breeze, but still cross-onshore. There’s no clean, glassy window at all.
The water temperature is sitting at 86°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – about 3°F above average. That’s noticeable, but with the surf being this sad, it’s not much comfort.
Nirvana Beach itself is inconsistent, exposed to the west, and best with a west swell direction. But the swell we’re getting is mostly from the WNW, and it’s just too weak and short-period to do anything with. For beginners, even the bigger days around 3ft to 4ft are tiny and messy, but nothing here is worth paddling out for anyway.
Honestly, this is a blank run that’s pretty normal for this area when the conditions line up this poorly. It’s one of those stretches where you’re better off doing something else. Don’t hold your breath for any change in that second week – the outlook stays grim.
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.
