The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you: this 16-day stretch for Nirvana Beach is pretty grim. There’s no surf worth paddling out for at any point. The whole forecast window is a write-off for decent waves.
Let's talk about what we're dealing with. The water is sitting at 86°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be cold if you decide to go for a float.
But the swell? Tiny and weak. From August 16th right through to the end of the month, we’re looking at nothing but small, mostly short-period windswell from the WNW. Heights will be lucky to scrape past 3ft, with periods hanging around a measly 5 to 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is almost always in the weak range, often in the double digits or low triple digits (72 to 138). Don't get excited about the 97 and 83 readings in the finale; that’s still just weak energy when you’ve only got 3ft of lumpy, short-period slop.
The wind is the real killer. It’s a constant battle of cross-on and onshore directions from the NW, WNW, or W. Morning sessions are sometimes a little lighter with a light cross-shore breeze, but the quality is still “poor surf conditions” across every single record. Afternoons are consistently choppy with a moderate cross-onshore breeze.
Honestly, for a beach break setup, this onshore wind and piddly swell just makes for a choppy mess. A full 16 days with a score of 0 out of 10 for every single session. There’s not one standout day. Not one window of hope. If you’re looking for paddle surfing, you're out of luck. This pattern looks far more interesting for a kite surfer than anyone with a shortboard.
Keep the board in the car, mate. Stay tuned – forecasts can change, but for now, it's a solid blank.
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.
