The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I'm looking at the forecast for the next 16 days. Honestly, it's a bit of a tough stretch for anyone hoping to get wet around here. The only break on the radar is Nirvana Beach, and it's a bit of a tease.
We're starting off with a serious lack of decent swell. The water temp is sitting at 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The problem is, there's just no energy. From Thursday the 27th of August through the first week of September, the swell is tiny, mostly under 2 ft, coming from the WNW with a short, weak period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak, often in single digits or the low teens. On top of that, the wind is mostly cross-onshore, making for choppy, messy conditions. It's a real struggle.
There's a slight bump around the 30th of August, with swell hitting 4 ft, but the combined energy is still only moderate at 212, and the wind is cross-onshore. It's still poor surf conditions. The pattern continues day after day with small, weak swell and unfriendly winds. It's not until the 6th of September, a Sunday morning, that we see a bit of a silver lining. The wind goes glassy, completely calm, but the swell is still only 2 ft with a period of 6 seconds. It's a rare moment of clean water, but there's just not enough wave to ride.
After that, we're back into a pattern of small, messy surf. The 8th of September Tuesday shows a tiny increase in period to 8 seconds, but it's still only 2 ft to 2 ft of swell. The entire outlook is a long stretch of blank days with no real surf to speak of.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but for the next 16 days, Nirvana Beach is barely offering anything. The waves are too small, the wind is generally poor, and the break is inconsistent. It's a real bummer, but sometimes the ocean just takes a nap. Keep an eye on things, because forecasts can change, but right now, leave the boards in the shed.

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.
