The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna level with you – this is a tough stretch for Nirvana Beach. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for anyone who actually wants to paddle into something decent. We’ve got a real dry spell up ahead, so let’s walk through it.
The pattern is flat and frustrating. We’re looking at tiny, weak swell the whole way through, with hardly any energy to speak of. The combined energy barely gets into double digits, sitting mostly between 9 and 68 (weak energy) – that’s barely a ripple. The swell direction is hanging out of the WNW, which is fine for the spot’s exposure, but the size is just pitiful. You’ll be scratching for anything over 3 ft all fortnight.
Things start off flat on Monday the 7th, with a tiny 2 ft to 3 ft, short period swell at 7 seconds, and cross-onshore winds messing it up. It’s not surfable. Tuesday the 8th is even worse – 2 ft to 2 ft, messy, choppy. The whole first week is a bust.
There is one tiny glimmer. On Wednesday morning, the 9th, we get a glassy window with 2 ft, 8-second swell, and the combined energy at 63 (weak energy). The forecast says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s the best we’ve got, but honestly, 2 ft on a beach break with a short period? It’s a knee-high dribbler for beginners only. That’s your standout, and it’s a sad one.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. Thursday the 10th through to Tuesday the 16th is a long gap of nothing. Swell drops to 1 ft to 2 ft, periods are 5-7 seconds, and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore. It’s flat, it’s messy, and it’s not worth a paddle.
The second week doesn’t get any better. There’s a touch of hope on Thursday the 17th morning, with another glassy morning and 3 ft, 6-second swell. The combined energy hits 42 (weak energy). Again, surfable but ordinary. The wind is light and glassy though, so it’ll be clean – but it’s still tiny. That’s your second “best” option, and it’s still a long way from good.
Friday the 18th has the biggest swell we see all window – 3 ft, 7-second period, 64 combined energy (weak energy). But the wind is onshore, so it’s chopped up. Saturday the 19th onwards just fades away again, with 1 ft to 2 ft and cross-shore or onshore winds. The last entry on Tuesday the 22nd is a glassy 1 ft – that’s flat.
This spot is inconsistent, and this run proves it. It tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about. If you’re a kite surfer, the onshore afternoons might give you something, but for a paddle surfer? Save your energy.
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.
