Tivives Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up for Tivives over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a pretty persistent run of small, clean swell on the cards, but nothing that’s going to blow your socks off. The water’s sitting at 86°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit.

Things kick off Saturday, July 11th. It’s tiny, with waves around 3 ft from the SSW, but that very long period groundswell of 16 seconds is packing moderate energy (457). The absolute standout here is the glassy conditions – dead calm. That’s the real winner for the day.

Sunday the 12th is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning is a write-off with light cross-shore winds messing things up, but by Sunday afternoon the wind goes glassy again and the 2 ft SSW swell cleans right up. It’s still small, but it’s rideable.

Monday the 13th morning brings clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze and waves holding at 2 ft. That’s about as good as this little window gets. Afternoon brings a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-onshore wind, so morning sessions are the go.

There’s a gap from Tuesday the 14th through to the end of that week where the swell stays small – between 2 ft and 3 ft – and the winds are mostly light and variable. Some mornings are glassy, some are clean, but honestly nothing is screaming “drop everything and go.” It’s just consistent small surf with decent conditions, but no power behind it.

We hit a bit of a lull around Thursday July 23rd. Wave energy drops right off (143) with weak 2 ft SSW swell and a short period of 11 seconds. Not much happening here.

Then we get an interesting shift for the second week. Saturday July 25th shows a promising little pulse. The swell is still just 2 ft but the period jumps to a very long 21 seconds – that’s real groundswell energy. The combined energy is moderate to strong (535). Morning has clean cross-offshore winds, and Saturday afternoon is glassy. This is the pick of the fortnight. That long period makes it better suited to a point or reef setup, which Tivives can handle, so keep an eye on it.

Sunday July 26th keeps the good vibes going. Morning has a 3 ft SSW swell with a 19-second period and solid energy (647). A light cross-offshore breeze keeps it clean. Don’t expect big waves, but the quality should be there.

Overall, nothing huge, but a few mornings and the very end of the run are worth a paddle. The best bets are the glassy afternoons early on and that Saturday the 25th morning window. Crowds are only sometimes a problem here, so you might get it to yourself.

Rusty out.
