Tivives Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let’s talk about what’s on offer at Tivives.

Honestly, for the next sixteen days, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. There’s surf, but you’ll have to pick your windows carefully. The water is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit.

The first real chance to get a wave is Thursday morning, July 23rd, but it’s tiny. We’re looking at a 1ft swell from the SSW, with a light cross-off breeze. The wave energy is weak (71), so it’s really just a paddle for the die-hards.

Friday morning, July 24th, is where things start to get interesting. The swell is still small at 1ft, but it’s from the SSW and the period jumps way up to 24 seconds. That’s a very long-period groundswell, and the energy is moderate (287). The wind is light and cross-off, so it will be clean. This is a standout session for the patient surfer, as the long period will make for some nice lines at Tivives, but it will be inconsistent.

Saturday morning, July 25th, is another winner. The swell pushes up to 2ft from the SSW, with a 21-second period, and the wind is glassy. The energy is getting strong (432). The conditions will be glassy and clean. Sunday morning, July 26th, is very similar with 2ft swell and glassy conditions, and the energy is strong (409). The best of the bunch, however, is Monday morning, July 27th. The swell is 3ft from the SSW, with a 19-second period and a light cross-off wind. The wave energy is strong (729). It’s going to be very good.

Then Tuesday morning, July 28th, is also a cracker. A 3ft SSW swell, glassy conditions, and the energy is strong (704). These mornings from the 25th to the 28th are your best bet. Keep in mind that Tivives is inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting for the sets, but when they come, they’ll be worth it. The crowds can be around sometimes.

After that, the surf drops off into the first week of August. We get a few more glassy mornings with 1ft to 2ft waves, but the energy is weak to moderate. The swell period drops, and the surf becomes ordinary. There’s a gap of a few days with no real recommendations.

Looking further ahead into the second week, there’s a glimmer on Friday morning, August 7th. The swell picks up to 2ft from the SSW with a 14-second period and a cross-off wind. The energy is moderate (291). It’s promising, but it’s a long way out, so stay tuned.

Rusty.
