Tivives Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut through the noise and look at what’s on offer for Tivives. It’s going to be a lean first week, but there’s a proper glassy run shaping up further out that’s worth waiting for.

Right now, we’re in a bit of a flat spell. The first few days are a struggle. Tuesday the 4th kicks off with a weak 3ft south swell, but that cross-onshore wind at 15 km/h messes it up completely—poor conditions. The combined energy is only 136 (weak), so don’t bother paddling out. The water is a touch warmer than usual at 86°F, which is nice, but it’s not enough to save the session.

Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th offer tiny glassy windows in the mornings, with 2ft and 2ft swells respectively, but the energy is still low (110 and 131). These are just ordinary, surfable shrugs. Friday the 7th stays similar, with a messy afternoon.

The first real glimmer comes Saturday the 8th afternoon. A 3ft south-southwest swell with a 15-second period rolls in, and the glassy conditions make it look clean. The energy jumps to 299 (moderate). That’s your first decent window, but it’s a small one.

Sunday the 9th through Tuesday the 11th are mostly back to ordinary or poor, with the afternoon thunderstorms and cross-on winds ruining the fun. Not worth rushing.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Wednesday the 12th morning is a standout. A 2ft south-southwest swell with a 16-second period, light NNW wind at 5 km/h, and glassy conditions. The combined energy climbs to 438 (strong). That’s real groundswell energy, and Tivives is a fairly exposed spot, so it’ll handle it. The period is long, so expect better-shaped waves with longer lulls between sets. This is the best call of the week.

The pattern repeats into the second week. Friday the 14th morning delivers another beauty: 2ft from the southwest, 19-second period, glassy, and energy at 435. Saturday the 15th morning is even better with 3ft from the southwest at 16 seconds, clean cross-off wind, and energy at 481 (strong). That’s the top pick overall—biggest swell of the window, clean, and solid energy.

Sunday the 16th is a flat-out glassy day with 2ft southwest swell, zero wind, and energy at 377. Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th keep the glassy, clean vibes rolling. Wednesday the 19th morning is your last good call, with a clean 2ft from the south-southwest.

The crowd factor at Tivives is “sometimes,” so you might get a few others out, but with these conditions, it’s worth the company. The spot is inconsistent, so catching it on a run like this is special.

For the absolute best on offer, I’m calling Saturday the 15th morning. The 3ft southwest swell, long 16-second period, clean cross-off breeze, and the strongest energy of the whole forecast (481) make it the one to mark on the calendar. Trust me on this.

Rusty.
