The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking flat out dismal for a surf. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and onshore junk for the foreseeable future. It’s one of those periods where you’re better off doing something else, because the ocean’s just not giving us anything to work with.
The only spot on the map is Nirvana Beach, and honestly, it’s a beginner spot that’s inconsistent and exposed to the west. The swell direction is close to what it wants, but the size and energy just aren’t there. The wave energy is weak, with combined energy values in the low double digits to start, barely reaching the 50s by the middle of next week. Water temp is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing while you stare at the flatness.
Monday, August 10: We’re starting with nothing. Swell is 2ft from the WNW at 6 seconds, with a light cross-onshore breeze. The energy is a pathetic 17. It’s just messy, small, and unrideable.
Tuesday, August 11: Still no good. 2ft at 6 seconds, but the wind is more cross-shore, making it choppy. Energy is 32. You’re just getting wind ripples on top of nothing.
Wednesday, August 12: A slight bump in period to 7 seconds, but the wave height stays around 2ft and energy is 25. Morning is cross-on, and it’s just not happening.
Thursday and Friday, August 13-14: Swell drops back to 1ft. Energy is down in the teens and single digits. It’s completely flat, and the wind is still onshore. This is a dead zone.
The Weekend, August 15-16: Saturday is more of the same – 1ft at 6 seconds, energy 13. Sunday shows a slight pulse, jumping to 2ft with an 8-second period, and energy gets to 50. Still, with light cross-onshore winds, it’s not going to be clean. It’s a tease at best.
Monday to Wednesday, August 17-19: The swell slowly builds, getting to 3ft by Tuesday morning, but the period drops back to 7 seconds, so it’s short-period wind chop. Energy gets into the 80s, which is moderate, but the wind turns more onshore. It’s bigger but messy, and at Nirvana, a beach break, this won’t hold shape. Might be more interesting for kitesurfing than paddling, honestly.
The Second Week (August 20-25): It fades again. Back down to 1ft to 2ft, period drops to 5-6 seconds, and energy falls back into the teens and twenties. The wind is a mix of cross-on and onshore, so it’s just crumbly junk. No standouts, no clean windows. Just a whole lot of nothing.
So there you have it. A complete blank run. The forecast is what it is, and it doesn’t look like it’ll change soon. But that’s the nature of this stretch – it’s normal to have these flat spells. Keep an eye on the charts; it won’t stay this poor forever. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.

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.
