The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this is a tough one. The outlook for the next couple of weeks is pretty grim. We’re looking at a long, long stretch of tiny, weak waves and mostly poor conditions. There’s really nothing to get excited about for a while, so don’t be in a rush to wax up.
The only break on the radar is Nirvana Beach, and it’s an exposed beach break that’s inconsistent at the best of times. The water temperature is sitting at 86°, which is a whopping 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a very unusual anomaly, so the water is feeling much warmer than average.
The entire first week is a write-off. From Thursday the 20th of August through to the end of the month, the swell is tiny – mostly 1.0ft to 2ft from the WNW, with short, weak periods (3 to 6 seconds). The combined wave energy is pathetic, bouncing between 6 and 34 – that’s weak energy, barely a ripple. The wind is a mess, mostly cross or cross-onshore, with a bit of chop and lump. The forecasters are calling it “poor surf conditions” every single day, and they’re not wrong.
The first hint of anything worth mentioning doesn’t pop up until the last couple of days of the forecast. On Wednesday morning, the 2nd of September, we finally see a pulse of swell. The height nudges up to 3ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 87. That’s still weak, but it’s the best we’ve seen. The wind is light and cross-onshore, so it’s not clean, but it’s a step up.
Thursday the 3rd of September morning is the closest thing we have to a standout. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the WNW, with an 8-second period, and the combined energy reaches 99 – still only moderate energy, but the highest in the whole 16-day run. The wind is light from the SW, so it’s cross-onshore but with tiny ripples. It’s not great, but it’s the only window where the surf might be rideable for a beginner.
After that, it drops back down to nothing for the rest of the run.
Honestly, this is a blank run. It’s a tough spot, and Nirvana Beach is inconsistent, so a run of poor surf like this is more normal for the area. Don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to chase.
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.
