The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. So look, Nirvana Beach is looking pretty flat for these next 16 days. The wave energy is real weak, with the biggest combined swell energy hitting just 258 on Sunday morning August 30th, but even that's coming with a "poor surf conditions" label. Water temp is 86° with a 4° anomaly, so that’s much warmer than usual for this time of year.
Sunday the 30th sees a 4ft swell from the WNW, 9-second period, but a 12 mph onshore wind is wrecking it. Afternoon brings rain showers and even stronger onshore wind. Monday the 31st drops to 3ft with a shorter period, and the wind is still onshore or cross-onshore – no good.
Tuesday the 1st of September is your best shot. The morning is glassy, with a 3ft swell from the WNW and a 7-second period. The combined energy is tiny at 62, but with those glassy conditions, a beginner might find a few soft little waves. It gets choppy by afternoon, so that window is tight. From there, it’s all downhill – swell heights sink to 1ft or less, periods drop to 5–6 seconds, and the energy numbers are in the single digits or low teens. There are some glassy moments on the 8th, 13th, and 14th of September mornings, but the swell is so small it’s barely a ripple.
There’s a long gap of nothing worth surfing after that Tuesday morning. If you’re a beginner looking for a very gentle, clean session on the 1st of September morning, you might snag a couple of 3ft waves, but that’s it. The break is exposed to the west and wants a west swell, so if it ever kicks off, it could be decent. For now, this kind of quiet spell is pretty normal here. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, keep the board in the car and wait for a better day.
Stay frothy,
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.
