The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. Straight up, it’s a tough stretch for the next two weeks or more at Nirvana Beach. The ocean’s just not giving us much to work with.
Right now, through Thursday the 20th and into the weekend, the swell is tiny – we’re looking at knee-high dribble at best, mostly 1 ft to 2 ft out of the WNW. The energy is super weak, with readings bouncing around (4 to 22) – that’s barely a ripple. On top of that, the wind is either cross-on or onshore for just about every session, making it choppy and messy. There’s no clean face to even attempt a turn. It’s not really surfable, to be honest.
We head into next week, from Monday the 24th right through the end of August, and the story doesn’t change. Swell stays locked in that tiny 1 ft to 2 ft range, period hovering around 5 to 8 seconds. The combined energy (10 to 60) is still painfully low. The morning of Tuesday the 25th has a rare moment of onshore wind, but it's on a 1 ft wave – that’s a lake. The morning of Sunday the 30th shows a brief window of glassy conditions on a tiny 1 ft swell, but it’s over by afternoon when the moderate breeze picks up. There’s just no push, no power.
Then into September, Tuesday the 1st has a glassy morning on a pathetic 0.7 ft swell (combined energy of 2 – about as flat as it gets). We get a tiny bump in energy later on the 2nd and 4th of September, getting up to 2 ft or 2 ft with a bit more period (7-8 seconds), and energy climbing to (49), but the wind remains cross-on or onshore. It’s still poor.
The big problem here is that Nirvana Beach is exposed to the W swell, and we’re getting a persistent run of tiny, weak WNW swell. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year at 86°F with a 4°F anomaly, which is notable, but it doesn’t help the waves. This setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle board right now – the cross-shore winds and small chop would give them something to play with, but for us surfers, it’s a solid 16-day bust.
Truth is, there’s no standout here. Not a single session worth highlighting. It’s a long stretch of flat to junk. Hang in there, but don't plan your day around it.
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.
