The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what we've got coming up. Honestly, for the next ten days or so, it's a pretty bleak picture. We're staring down a long dry spell with tiny, weak swell and dodgy winds. The only real glimmer of hope is tucked away at the very end of the forecast.
We kick off on Wednesday, August 19th, and it’s a struggle. Nirvana Beach is serving up knee-high dribble, around 2ft to 2ft, mostly out of the WNW. The wind is a mess, cross-onshore and choppy, and the wave energy is pathetic, in the 30s. The water is a very warm 86°, which is over 4° above normal, but that’s the only highlight. This same story of tiny, weak swell and onshore junk just repeats itself day after day, right through the end of August and into the first days of September. The combined energy barely ever cracks 30, which is just sad. There’s absolutely nothing to get excited about.
Now, we have to wait until Saturday, August 29th, to see any real change. The early morning session is the standout. At Nirvana Beach, the swell bumps up a touch to 2ft from the WNW, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 49, which is still weak, but for this stretch, that’s a win. The real kicker is the wind going glassy. That means clean, smooth conditions. It’s still a small day for beginners, and it’s inconsistent, but it’s the only window in the entire 16-day run where you’ll get a clean face. The afternoon looks like it falls apart again with a cross-onshore breeze, so make the most of that morning window.
After that, it’s right back to the same old story of tiny, crummy surf. It’s a long, flat run. We’ll just have to wait and see if the forecasts change, because this stretch is testing the patience of even the most dedicated soul surfer.

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.
