Tivives Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Imperial

Alright folks, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Tivives for the next couple of weeks. The water is about 86°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a nice little bonus.

We kick off on Tuesday, July 21st. It’s a small start, but the morning session looks clean with 2ft of south swell, a solid 12-second period, and some decent energy pushing through. The wind is glassy out of the northwest, so it’ll be smooth. The afternoon turns a bit sketchy with a risk of storms, so get in early. Tivives is an inconsistent spot, so don’t expect much on Wednesday the 22nd. You’ll find tiny 2ft waves, though the wind stays glassy or calm, so it’s more of a longboard or a swim.

Thursday the 23rd is a write-off for the morning with a weak 1ft SSW swell and a short 10-second period. The afternoon sees a little bump in height to 3ft, but the period drops to a pathetic 7 seconds, and the wind is onshore. That’s messy.

Now, hold on. Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th get weird. The swell period jumps to 24 seconds and then 21 seconds—that’s very long period groundswell. The heights are still small (1ft to 2ft), but the energy is building strongly. The winds are glassy for those mornings. The caveat here is that a 24-second period swell at a beach break can be too straight and fat, but Tivives is fairly exposed and might handle it. Saturday morning on the 25th is the first real standout: 2ft, long period, and glassy.

The real magic starts on Sunday the 26th. The morning has 2ft at 19 seconds, glassy winds, and the energy is pumping. The afternoon gets even better: 3ft, 18 seconds, and still glassy. This is gorgeous. Monday the 27th is the pick of the entire run. The morning delivers 3ft, 19-second swell, glassy from the NNW, and the energy is huge. If you can only go once, this is the session. The afternoon will get a bit cross-on, so again, morning is key.

Tuesday the 28th is another banger: 3ft, 18 seconds, glassy, and massive energy. The water is clean, the waves have power, and it’s all coming from the SSW. The rest of the week into the start of August fades out. The swell drops to 3ft and then 3ft, the periods come down, and the energy weakens. By Thursday the 30th, we’re back to ordinary surf. The first few days of August see it drop further to 2ft and 1ft, with only a slight pulse of short-period swell on the 5th.

So, the standout is the morning of Monday, July 27th—that’s the day. Sunday the 26th and Tuesday the 28th are also excellent. Get on it.

Rusty.
