The Lowdown
Right, listen up. It’s Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I’ve got to be straight with you: it’s looking pretty grim on the surf front. We’ve got a solid run of days ahead with no real waves to speak of. To be honest, the entire 16-day window is one long stretch of flat, weak, and messy conditions. There are no standout days, no hidden gems, nothing that’s going to get your heart racing. If you’re a kite surfer, you might find some fun in the cross-onshore breezes, but for us paddle surfers, it’s a wipeout.
The only spot with any data is Nirvana Beach, and it’s a beginner beach break that is, at best, inconsistent. The water temperature is sitting at 84.4°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a small comfort, but it’s not enough to make up for what's out there.
Looking at the beginning of the week, Sunday the 9th, the swell is tiny at 2.6 ft from the WNW with a short period of 6 seconds. The energy is weak (44), and the wind messes it up. It’s a poor surf call. This flat and poor pattern just continues day after day. The swell stays under 3.3 ft, periods stay short, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore, chopping up any hint of a wave. There’s a slight bump in the swell around Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th, with heights reaching 3.3 ft to 3.9 ft and the energy picking up a bit (85 to 132), but the quality is still poor. It’s a bigger, messy closeout, not something you’d want to paddle out into.
The only moment that looks remotely clean is early on Saturday the 22nd of August. The wind drops to a glassy 3 mph and the swell is a tiny 2 ft from the WNW. It’ll be clean, but with that period of only 5 seconds, it’s going to be weak and probably pretty soft. If you’re a total beginner and just want to get wet on a longboard, it’s the pick of a very bad bunch, but that’s about all you can say for it. Otherwise, save your energy. The forecast is a bust for the next two weeks. Conditions this poor tend not to last forever, but for now, the board stays in the shed.

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.
