Tivives Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break it down for Tivives. It’s a slow couple of weeks ahead with a lot of small, clean mornings but not much in the way of power. The water is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 86°F.

We start off with a big gap. Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd are a total loss with tiny, choppy surf and poor conditions. Monday the 3rd through to Friday the 7th aren't much better. You’ll get some glassy mornings with swell around 1ft to 2ft from the SSW, but the energy is weak (combined energy in the 78-184 range) and the afternoons get ruined by cross-onshore winds and storms. Not worth the effort.

The first real sign of life comes on Saturday the 8th. The morning is glassy, clean, and the swell moves up to 2ft from the SSW with a 16-second period. That long period gives it some punch, and the energy is moderate (294). It’s still small, but for a point break like Tivives, that long period groundswell can wrap in nicely. It’s a standout for the whole outlook, but stay realistic—it’s inconsistent, and you might have company.

After that, the pattern repeats. Mornings on the 9th, 10th, 12th, and 13th offer glassy, clean conditions with tiny swell (1ft to 2ft) and moderate energy, but the afternoons are all cross-onshore and stormy. The real highlight to mark on your calendar is Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th. Friday morning is glassy with 2ft SSW swell and a very long 18-second period, giving it a combined energy of 366—strong wave energy for the area. Saturday morning is even better, with 2ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and glassy calm. Energy is 361. For a small, inconsistent spot, those two mornings are the best of the bunch. Sunday the 16th also has a clean, glassy morning with 2ft of swell.

The afternoons are still a write-off across the board. The south winds and storms trash the quality. The swell is small—never above 5ft—so it’s fine for all skill levels, but the inconsistency means you’ll be waiting for sets. The long period (over 15 seconds) means the waves will be a bit more drawn out, but that works well for a point setup.

So, bottom line: don’t bother until Saturday the 8th, and even then, keep your expectations low. The real gems are the mornings of the 14th, 15th, and 16th, with the 15th being the cream of the crop. It’s promising, but it’s a long way out.

Rusty.
