Tivives Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s on the cards for the Tivives stretch over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are definitely a few windows to keep an eye on.

Right out of the gate, Thursday the 13th is a no-go with a storm risk and onshore wind, but we’ve got some interesting stuff shaping up. The real standout looks like Saturday morning, August 15th. The wind will be completely glassy out of the NNW, and we’ve got a 3 ft swell from the SSW with a super long 16 second period. That groundswell is packing moderate energy (585) and with those conditions, the sets should be well-shaped and clean. Just remember, with that long period swell, Tivives can get a bit lined up and might break a little straight, but overall, it’s the best on offer.

Sunday morning the 16th is also worth a look, with a clean offshore cross-off breeze and 2 ft from the SW at 15 seconds. It’s a step down in size but still plenty of fun.

After that, the middle of the week gets a bit ordinary, with small, weak swells and often tricky winds. We get another proper chance on Friday morning, August 21st. It’s glassy again, with a 3 ft swell from the S and a moderate period of 10 seconds. Energy is moderate (286). It’s a good, fun size for intermediate surfers, so mark that one down.

The following week becomes a waiting game. Swell sizes drop right down and the energy gets weak, dropping below 100 at times. Keep an eye on Friday the 28th though, where the morning looks good with a glassy 2 ft groundswell from the SSW with a 17 second period and energy bouncing back up (308). It’s a long-range call, so not set in stone, but promising. Morning glass-offs on the 27th and 28th could also give you a tiny, clean wave.

A quick note on the water temp, at Tivives it’s currently sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.

Rusty.
