The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be honest with you, mate. I’ve had a good look at the numbers for the next 16 days, and I’m not going to sugarcoat it. For the whole window, the only spot on the cards is Nirvana Beach, and it’s barely whispering. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf on offer.

The first recommendation comes in on Saturday, 22nd August, but it’s a tough sell. The combined swell energy is a measly 8, which is about as weak as it gets. We’re looking at a 1 ft swell from the WNW with a period of just 4 seconds – that’s pure wind chop, not a wave you want to paddle for. The wind is a cross-on 6 mph from the SW, and the water is 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. On Saturday afternoon, the onshore wind picks up to 12 mph from the W. On Sunday, 23rd August, the swell bumps up to 2 ft, but the period is still a short 5 seconds, and the cross-on wind is still there. It’s just poor surf conditions.

This pattern of tiny, weak swell and messy wind pretty much holds for the entire first week. The combined energy stays in the low double digits, rarely breaking 30. The period rarely gets above 6 seconds. It’s all short-period, locally generated junk. There’s a slight uptick on Saturday, 29th August, with the morning swell reaching 3 ft and a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 94. But it’s still cross-on and the waves are described as poor. The next day, Sunday 30th, has a brief moment of cross-shore wind with a light breeze, but the swell is dropping back to 2 ft.

The only real change of note comes on Wednesday, 2nd September. The morning swell pushes to 3 ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy finally hits 123 (moderate). But here’s the killer – it’s still crossed up with a 9 mph wind from the SSW, and the wave comment is still “poor surf conditions.” It’s a tease. The period stays short, the wind is never clean, and the break is rarely consistent to begin with.

Later, on Saturday, 6th September, we get a rare moment of glassy conditions in the morning. A 2 ft swell from the WNW with a 7-second period and combined energy of only 36. It’s glassy, which is a major positive, but the swell is tiny and the break is inconsistent. It’s a long shot.

If you’re desperate, keep an eye on Wednesday, 2nd September, for the biggest swell of the window, but even then, the wind is not on your side. For the most part, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the consistent cross and onshore winds and the small, weak swell.

Hang in there, folks. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a flat spell.

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.
