The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty.
Let's be straight with you – the forecast for Nirvana Beach over the next 16 days is a total bust. We’ve got a solid run of onshore and cross-onshore winds that just won't give up, keeping the surface blown out and messy. The swell is tiny and weak, barely cracking 3ft at its best, and the period is short, so there’s no real push or shape to anything. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for a decent paddle.
The water temp is sitting at 86°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're frustrated.
The first real chance we see is on the 21st of August, Friday afternoon, with a tiny 1ft swell from the WNW, but it’s got a cross-on breeze from the WNW at 9 mph, making it choppy and poor. The combined energy is a measly 9 (weak), so there’s just nothing to work with.
We go through the whole weekend and into the next week with the same story. Saturday the 22nd has a bit more wind in the afternoon, 12 mph from the WNW, making it even choppier. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday – it’s all the same rubbish. Swell heights bobble between 1.0ft and 3ft, wind is always cross-on, and the wave comment is consistently "poor surf conditions."
By the 29th of August, Saturday morning, the swell bumps up to 3ft from the WNW with an 8-second period, and the energy hits 89 (still weak). The wind is lighter from the WSW at 6 mph, but it’s still cross-on, so it’s just a slightly less choppy version of the same poor surf.
The best of a bad lot might be the 1st of September, Tuesday morning. We see a 3ft swell from the WNW with an 8-second period, and combined energy finally climbs to 137 (moderate). The wind is from the SW at 6 mph, which is cross-on, not ideal, but it’s the biggest swell of the whole run. Even then, it’s still "poor surf conditions," so it’s not a standout. After that, it fades back down to 2ft and 2ft through the rest of the first week of September.
Truth is, this is a beginner spot that’s inconsistent, and it’s living up to that name. For a 16-day outlook, it’s a blank run. There is no good surf on offer. If you're desperate, you could sit there on a foamie on the 1st of September morning and hope for a close-out ankle-snapper, but you'd be better off waiting for the forecasts to change. This setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle.

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.
