The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and I’ve gotta give it to you straight. Looking at this 16-day window, it’s a pretty grim run for Nirvana Beach. The surf is on the small side, the wind is almost always working against us, and the overall quality is just not there. There’s a real long stretch of nothing worth paddling out for, and honestly, it’s best to leave the board in the shed for a while.
The first real chance of anything halfway decent doesn’t show up until Saturday, July 25th, which is over a week away. That’s a solid gap of nearly ten days with nothing but poor surf conditions. Even then, it’s a maybe.
Let’s break it down. On July 24th, the swell tries to push up a bit, hitting 5ft on Friday morning and 5ft in the afternoon. The combined energy climbs to 266 (moderate) and then 365 (moderate), but the problem is the wind. It’s a stiff cross-onshore breeze all day, making it choppy and messy. The period is only 8-9 seconds, a short-period wind swell, so it’s not got any real punch. The waves are there, but they’re ugly.
The only half-reasonable window is the morning of Saturday, July 25th. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the WNW, with a combined energy of 376 (moderate), a period of 8 seconds, and the wind drops to a light cross-onshore breeze. The water is holding at around 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The guidance says this spot is exposed to the west, and the swell is coming from the WNW, so it’s lining up. The problem is, the break is inconsistent and the forecast still calls it “marginal.” It’s a beginner spot, and 5ft might be pushing it for a total newbie, but with light wind, it could offer a few mushy ones. You’d have to be keen, but it’s the only thing on the menu.
After that, the swell drops back down and the wind gets messy again. The rest of the window is a write-off. No clean waves, no good wind, nothing to get excited about.
This is a long, flat, and choppy outlook. It’s one of those times where the ocean just isn’t cooperating.

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.
