Tivives Surf Forecast and Surf Report

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

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but don’t write it off. The first real action kicks off on the morning of Sunday the 6th. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing crazy there. That morning, Tivives will be seeing a clean 3ft SSW swell with a nice long 15-second period, and combined wave energy sitting at a solid 373 – that's a decent push. The wind is dead glassy from the west at just 3 mph, so the surface will be silky. It's a pretty inconsistent break here, and crowds are possible, but if you get a set, it’ll be a ripper. This is the standout of the whole forecast, no doubt.

Through the rest of the first week, things get a bit messy. The afternoons are mostly written off with onshore breezes and the risk of thunderstorms. Monday the 7th morning is glassy again but the swell drops to 2ft (265 energy), and it stays pretty ordinary. Tuesday the 8th has a tiny 1ft SSW groundswell with an 18-second period – that's a long period, meaning the waves will be walled up and better for a point or reef than a beach break. Morning glass is your only window. Wednesday the 9th is similar: small, glassy, but ordinary.

Now, Thursday the 10th morning is another one to circle. We've got a 3ft SSW swell, a long 18-second period, and combined energy of 433 – the highest energy reading in the whole run. With a glassy north wind, it'll be clean. For an inconsistent spot, that’s a serious highlight. The following Friday the 11th morning is also good: 2ft SW, glassy calm, 318 energy. Both of these mornings are your best bets in that first stretch.

After that, the second week is a slow grind. The mornings are all small – think 1ft to 2ft – with glassy conditions, but the energy dips under 300 most days. The swell direction stays SSW to SW, and periods are often long, which keeps the shape lined up. There's a promising morning on Tuesday the 15th with 2ft, an 18-second period, and 270 energy under a glassy WNW breeze. Then again on Wednesday the 16th morning, 2ft, 16 seconds, 327 energy – that's another solid little session. After that, it’s pretty much the same story until Monday the 21st morning, which shows a 2ft SSW swell with 324 energy and glassy wind, wrapping up the run.

Overall, don't expect hero waves. The inconsistent nature of Tivives means you’ll be waiting, but when the glassy mornings line up with a little pulse, it'll be worth the paddle.

Rusty.
