Tivives Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Tivives has cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks.

We're looking at a pretty consistent run of small, clean surf, but nothing that's gonna blow your socks off. The opening days are all about those tiny, tidy waves. The best early call is Thursday the 16th morning – just a small 2.6ft SSW swell with a nice 13-second period and a light cross-off breeze. The water temp is sittin' about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. The combination of all the swells is giving us a moderate energy reading of 277. It's a good little session for a longboard or a funboard, but it's not gonna be a world-beater.

Friday the 17th is a bit smaller, and the real standout is Saturday the 18th morning. We get glassy conditions, that's a dead-calm wind, with a 2.3ft SSW swell, 13 seconds, and a slightly better energy of 286. That's the kind of morning you don't want to sleep in for. Sunday the 19th morning is also glassy, with a slightly bigger 3.0ft S swell and a jump in energy to 400 – a nice little pulse.

The pattern holds through the next week. Mornings are generally clean with light winds, and the afternoons get a bit of a cross-on breeze and the risk of a thunderstorm. The 2.3ft to 3.0ft range is the theme. The big news is around the 24th and 25th of July. On the 24th, we see a very long period groundswell of 24 seconds, but it's only 1.6ft. The energy is moderate at 386, but that period is a double-edged sword – it'll be super clean at Tivives, which is a fairly exposed break, but you might be waiting a while between sets. The 25th Saturday morning is another standout with glassy conditions and a 2.3ft SSW swell, a 21-second period, and the energy jumps to 537 – that's a proper moderate-to-strong pulse. The 27th Monday morning is looking like the pick of the bunch, though. A 3.0ft SSW swell, glassy wind, 18-second period, and a strong energy reading of 636. That's the best on offer, a proper little groundswell window with perfect conditions.

The second week is a bit of a mixed bag. The 26th morning is clean, and the 29th and 30th mornings also look clean with glassy or cross-off winds. The swell is consistent in the 2.6ft to 3.0ft range, but the period drops off a bit. The 31st is still surfable, but the energy is fading. The crowds at Tivives can be a problem sometimes, but with this small, consistent swell, it might be a bit more manageable.

In short, it's a steady run of small, clean, fun surf. The real standout is the 27th of July, with a solid pulse of groundswell and perfect glass. There's a few other good mornings in there, but nothing that's gonna be charging. The first week has a few gaps in the afternoons, but the mornings are the key. This is a longboarder's paradise for the next two weeks.
