The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve got to be straight with you—this outlook for the next couple of weeks is a tough one. The only spot in the mix is Nirvana Beach, and honestly, it’s not looking like the kind of place that’s going to give you much to work with. It’s an exposed beach break, best with a W swell, but it’s inconsistent by nature and that’s playing out hard here. The water’s sitting at a balmy 86°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year—more than 4° above the norm, so you can leave the wetsuit at home.

We’ve got a long dry spell ahead. Starting from now, there’s nothing worth paddling out for until we hit Tuesday the 28th of August, and even then it’s a real struggle. The whole run from Tuesday the 18th right through to Monday the 27th is just a write-off—tiny swell, wonky wind, and every session tagged as poor surf conditions. The energy is weak, barely cracking double digits in that combined swell energy reading (mostly between 6 and 70), and the period is short and snappy—5 to 7 seconds—so the waves are just crumbling messes. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, no clean windows at all.

There’s a little flicker of life starting Tuesday the 28th of August. The swell lifts slightly to 2ft from the WNW, period bumps up to 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 67—still weak, but it’s something. The wind is cross-on though, and the comment says poor surf conditions again. Wednesday the 29th of August keeps that little pulse going: 2ft to 3ft from the WNW, period still 8 seconds, energy around 63 to 66, but again the wind is cross-on or onshore. Thursday the 30th drops back a bit. Then Monday the 1st of September shows a 3ft swell from the WNW with an 8-second period and combined energy of 130—finally cracking triple digits, which means moderate energy. Still, the wind is cross-on and it’s still flagged as poor surf conditions. Tuesday the 2nd of September fades again.

Honestly, there’s no standout here. The best on offer is probably Monday the 1st of September morning, with that 3ft swell and light cross-on wind, but it’s not clean, it’s inconsistent, and the break rarely fires. It’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a proper paddle session. For a beginner spot, even that 3ft might be okay, but the quality just isn’t there. We’re in a dry patch, and for this area, that’s not unusual. Forecasts can change, but for now, I’d keep the board in the car.

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.

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.
