Tivives Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and miles.

We’re looking at a pretty quiet stretch ahead for Tivives. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 86°, which is a little unusual. The swell is small and inconsistent, so don’t expect much power. The good news is there are a few windows where the wind drops out and the ocean goes glassy, which is really the only way to make the most of what’s on offer.

The best bet comes around Saturday, August 8th morning. We’ve got clean conditions, a glassy sea, and a small SSW swell (2 ft, 16-second period) pushing in. The combined energy is moderate at 290, so there’s a bit of life in the water. The swell direction is good for the spot, and with the wind off the land, it’ll be tidy. The only catch is that Tivives is inconsistent, so you’ll need patience. Crowds are sometimes a factor here, but with the small size, it shouldn’t be too busy.

After that, there’s a long gap of nothing really worth chasing until Thursday, August 13th morning. Clear skies, glassy conditions, and a slightly bigger S swell (3 ft, 10-second period) with combined energy at 272. It’s still small, but the clean conditions and moderate energy make it okay for a surf.

Then on Friday, August 14th morning, we get a bit more interesting. The swell jumps up to 2 ft but with a very long period of 19 seconds from the SW, and the combined energy hits 551 – that’s strong. The wind is calm, glassy, and the water is clear. This is the standout for the whole forecast. The long period will give it some push, but with that much period, it might break a bit straight on the beach. Still, for the more experienced crew, this is the one to circle.

Saturday, August 15th morning also looks okay with a glassy start and a 3 ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, energy at 519. Another solid option for the early.

August 16th Sunday morning is similar, with a 3 ft SSW swell, 15-second period, glassy, and energy at 299. Not as strong, but still clean.

Outside of those windows, it’s mostly cross-on winds, small weak swell, and poor conditions. The combined energy drops as low as 103 to 166 on many days, which is weak. There’s a lot of thunderstorm risk in the afternoons, so mornings are the only call.

Bottom line: if you’re keen, hit the mornings on the 8th, 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th of August. The 14th is the best of the bunch, but it’s a long-range call so don’t lock it in yet.

Rusty.
