The Lowdown
G’day, this is Rusty. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the Nirvana Beach region is looking at a pretty grim run over the next 16 days. There’s nothing on the table that I’d recommend paddling out for. The waves are just too small, the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, and the whole setup is a bit of a letdown.
Starting from Thursday, July 30th, the swell is a tiny 2 ft from the WNW with a short period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 35. The wind is onshore, kicking up poor conditions. That sets the tone for the whole stretch. Friday the 31st through to the weekend isn’t any better – we’re looking at 2 ft to 2 ft swells, a cross-on breeze, and that weak energy staying between 16 and 72. The wave comment is “poor surf conditions” for every single record.
The water temperature at Nirvana Beach is 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only bright spot. The swell direction is mostly WNW, which is fine for the exposed break, but the size is barely a ripple and the period is short. There’s no stand-out day, no clean window, and no energy to speak of. The biggest combined energy you’ll see is 72 on the Friday morning, but that’s still weak, and the wind is cross-on.
This pattern just keeps going. Through the first week of August, the swell never gets above 2 ft, the period stays under 8 seconds, and the wind is never truly offshore. The energy drops into the single digits by the second week. By August 14th, we’re talking about a 0.3 ft swell with a combined energy of just 1.
For a beginner-friendly spot that’s inconsistent, this is a normal quiet spell. It’s a blank run. The setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle board, given the persistent cross-onshore wind and weak swell. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but as it stands, leave the board at home.
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.
