The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, we’re in for a pretty flat spell for the majority of the forecast. The first real sniff of anything surfable doesn’t show up until September 7th. We’ve got a ten-day stretch of just tiny, wind-affected dribble before that. You’ll see the swell bump up a touch on August 30th with moderate wave energy (264), but the wind is all wrong—cross-onshore and making a mess of things. If you’re absolutely desperate for a paddle, the water temp is about average for this time of year, but don’t expect any waves worth talking about.
The only break on the radar is Nirvana Beach, which is an exposed beginner-friendly beach break that works best with a west swell. It’s an inconsistent spot, so you need the planets to align. Through this first week, we’ve got tiny swell from the WNW, periods hanging around 5 to 8 seconds, and combined energy levels barely breaking 100 most days. The wind is persistent out of the SW, W, or NW, keeping things cross-onshore and choppy.
Now, the one window that looks half decent is the morning of Monday, September 7th. The swell picks up to 3 ft from the WNW with an 8-second period—not going to set the world on fire, but it’s the biggest we’ve got. The key here? The wind goes completely glassy. That’s flat calm, and for a beach break like Nirvana, that’s pure gold. You’ll get some clean, crumbly little waves for a log or a foamie. The combined energy is still weak at 87, so manage your expectations, but it’s the standout of the run. After that, it’s back to small, onshore junk through September 12th, where we get a clean-ish morning with a cross-off breeze (10 km/h from NNE) and 3 ft swell, but the size and energy just aren’t there for a proper session.
For the rest of the 16-day window, it’s dead. Don’t hold your breath for the long-range stuff—nothing on the horizon screams at me. You’d need a miracle (or a different spot) to get a wave this fortnight.
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.
