Nirvana Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Nirvana Beach has in store for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, the outlook is a bit of a letdown. From Friday the 10th of July right through to Saturday the 25th of July, there’s nothing that jumps out as a proper surf session. Every single day is marked with poor surf conditions, and the scores tell the same story – it’s flat or close to it. The swell is tiny the whole run, mostly around 1ft to 3ft, with the energy never getting anywhere near exciting, bobbing along at weak levels (mostly between 16 and 76). That’s barely enough to push a log along.

The best of a bad lot shows a bit of a pulse on Sunday the 19th of July, where the swell bumps to 4ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy just cracks into moderate territory (173-178). But even then, it’s all cross-onshore wind, making for a choppy, messy surface. It’s not a standout. It’s just the biggest ripple we see. On that Sunday morning, with a light SW cross-on breeze, it’ll be small wind ripples at least, so the surface might not be too torn up – but the waves will be weak and sloppy. Still, not something to get excited about.

The winds are mostly light to moderate breezes, but they all carry a cross-onshore or onshore component, which kills any hope of glassy, clean lines. The water temperature is a touch warmer than normal at 83°, so at least you won’t be cold while you’re sitting there waiting for something that never really shows.

There are no real standouts across the entire 16-day window. The surf is just too small, too weak, and the wind is never on your side. For beginners wanting to mess around on tiny whitewash, maybe there’s a moment, but for anyone looking for a real ride, this stretch looks like a write-off. Don’t hold your breath – better days will come.

Rusty.
