The Lowdown

G'day, it's Rusty. Look, I've stared at the charts for this spot, and I gotta be straight with you – we're looking at a proper drought for the next two weeks. There's a solid gap from now until Sunday, September 6th, before we get anything worth paddling out for.

The water's sitting at a warm 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, just over a degree and a half above average – feels like summer's hanging on.

For the first week and a half, from Sunday, August 23rd, right through to Saturday, September 5th, it's flat or near-flat. Swell heights are chugging along between 0.7ft and 3ft, with periods as short as 4 seconds at times – that's pure wind slop, no energy. The combined energy barely cracks 100 (peaking at 92) for most of it, and what little swell we get is coming from the WNW or W, which is fine for Nirvana Beach since it's exposed to the west, but the wind is a constant problem. Almost every session is cross-onshore or onshore, from the WNW, NW, or SW, blowing at 6 to 12 mph. It's choppy, messy, and the wave comment says "poor surf conditions" for every single entry. Don't bother.

Now, Sunday, September 6th, things finally wake up. The morning brings a jump to 4ft from the WNW with a 6-second period, and the combined energy hits 140. It's still a bit short-period, but it's better. The wind is light from the W at 3 mph, which is onshore but glassy – that's a major positive for clean conditions. By the afternoon, it gets bigger: 6ft from the WNW with a 9-second period, and the energy rockets to 606 – that's moderate wave energy, and it's actually starting to show some shape. The wind picks up to 12 mph from the NNW, which is cross-onshore, so it'll be choppy. This size is pushing into intermediate territory, but it's the best we've got.

Monday, September 7th, is a solid follow-up. The morning has 3ft from the WNW with an 8-second period, energy at 164, and light SW wind at 3 mph – that's cross-onshore but very light, so it'll be clean. The afternoon drops slightly to 4ft from the NW at 7 seconds, energy 118, with a 9 mph WNW cross-onshore making it messy.

So, the standout? It's gotta be Sunday, September 6th, morning at Nirvana Beach. The 4ft swell from the WNW, combined with the light, glassy wind, gives you the cleanest conditions of the whole 16-day window. The afternoon is bigger but choppier, and Monday morning is a good backup. This spot is exposed to the west, so the WNW swell direction works, but it's a beach break, so the short period (6 seconds) will mean the waves are a bit fat and closey. Still, it's the only real window. The rest of the run is a write-off.

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.
