The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about the next couple of weeks. If you’re looking at Nirvana Beach, keep your expectations in the basement. There’s barely a pulse out there for the entire 16-day window. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and every single session is flagged as poor surf conditions. Don’t get your hopes up for anything rideable that’s worth paddling out for.
For the first few days, from Friday the 17th through the weekend, we’re looking at knee-high dribble – 2ft to 2ft of mostly WNW windswell, with a short period around 7-8 seconds. The combined energy is laughable, sitting between 31 and 49 (weak energy). Winds are mostly cross-onshore, so it’s choppy and messy. Sunday morning the 19th goes glassy for a second, but with only 2ft on offer, it’s flat and not worth the wetsuit.
Moving into the next week, Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st get even smaller – 1.0ft to 1ft – and the energy drops to single digits (7 and 10). That’s barely a ripple. Wednesday the 22nd through the 24th sees a slight bump to 2ft-3ft, but the period stays short (5-6 seconds) and the wind is still mostly cross or onshore. By Friday the 24th afternoon, the swell tries to push 4ft, and the energy jumps to 201 (moderate), but it’s onshore wind and the surf quality is still marked as poor. Not the day to go.
Saturday the 25th morning shows the biggest swell of the whole run – 5ft from the WNW, period 8 seconds, energy at 280 (moderate). But the wind is cross-onshore, and the wave comment says “poor surf conditions.” For a beginner break like Nirvana Beach, that 5ft is already pushing the limit, and with the chop, it’s not going to be a fun paddle. Not a standout.
The rest of the run from the 26th onward is a slow fade back to tiny, weak, and messy. The best you can say is that the water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Honestly, Nirvana Beach is a total write-off for the next two weeks. There’s no standout window, no clean swell, and no good wind alignment. If you’re desperate, Sunday morning the 19th is glassy, but there’s no wave to ride. The forecast can always change, but right now, save your energy and wait for a proper pulse.

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.
