The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you. The outlook for Nirvana Beach over the next 16 days is a tough one. I’m looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and messy surf. Honestly, there’s nothing here that gets me excited. The swell is tiny, and the wind is nearly always cross-onshore or onshore, which means the surface is going to be choppy and bumpy. This isn’t really a time for surfing; it’s more of a time for a beach walk.
The first real, and only, faint glimmer of hope shows up way down the line. We’ve got a significant gap of poor conditions from the start of the forecast through to the end of the month. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no need for a thicker wetsuit just yet, but you’ll be needing it for the lack of waves.
Then, around Monday the 27th of July, the swell finally makes a push. The combined wave energy jumps to a moderate 132, but it’s still a messy situation. The swell stays around 4 ft from the WNW, but the period is only 7 seconds, which is short-period windswell. It’s going to be weak and crumbly, not the kind of wave that barrels. The wind is still a problem, with a cross-onshore breeze on the morning, turning moderate cross-onshore in the afternoon. It’s still going to be choppy, and the surf quality is going to be poor.
The next couple of days, the 28th and 29th, see the energy stay moderate (151 to 137), but it’s the same story: short period, onshore or cross-onshore winds, and poor surf. The swell direction is WNW, which is not the optimum W direction for this break, so the waves won’t be holding their shape well.
There’s no standout session here. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the morning of the 28th of July with the 4 ft swell and lighter onshore winds might be the least bad option, but don’t expect it to be clean. This setup is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the consistent onshore wind and small, choppy waves.
For the rest of the forecast, it’s flat and boring. The swell drops back down to 2 ft or less by the 30th and 31st. It’s a blank run, but for a beach break like this, that’s not totally unusual. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, don’t hold your breath.
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.
