Tivives Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, and I’ve got a solid look into the next couple of weeks for Tivives. We’ve got a run of small but clean windows coming up, with the water sitting at a touch warmer than the norm for this time of year – around 86°.

The week kicks off pretty flat and uninspiring. Sunday the 9th through Tuesday the 11th are a write-off. We’re talking tiny, messy cross-onshore slop with swell energy barely registering (around 146-266). Honestly, not worth paddling out for. Hang tight.

The first real glimmer comes Wednesday morning the 12th. It’s a standout window. Still small, with a clean 0.7 ft SSW groundswell, but that’s packing a punch of energy (436) for its size. The real winner? Glassy conditions. Total millpond. That makes for a beautiful, clean wave, even if it’s a bit small. It’s a moment of pure peace before the afternoon sea breeze and risk of storms chop it up.

Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th mornings follow a similar script: glassy conditions on small SW groundswells (2–2 ft). The energy stays moderate (210-372) and the window for clean, fun waves is there if you’re early. Friday morning’s SW swell is carrying a longer period (18 seconds), so expect a bit more push and shape, but it might be a touch walled-off at the beach. By Friday afternoon, the energy spikes higher (515) but the cross-onshore wind will junk it up.

Saturday the 15th morning is one of the better bets of the first week. That 3 ft SSW swell has decent energy (509) and a clean, cross-offshore wind from the NNE. This is where you want to be. Sunday the 16th afternoon also deserves a mention – it gets glassy again on a fading 2 ft SW swell. Clean conditions make it rideable.

Now, looking into the second week. It gets a little more interesting. Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th bring continued clean mornings, with Tuesday seeing the swell bump up to 4 ft from the south, but dropping to a short, weak 8-second period (energy around 311). It’ll be fat and lumpy, but clean. Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th mornings stick with the glassy theme on 3–4 ft S swell. The period extends to 9-10 seconds, so a bit more shape, but nothing stellar.

Friday the 21st morning is totally glassed off with 3 ft S swell. Surfable but ordinary.

The real long-range standout, and you heard it here first, is Saturday the 22nd. We get a flash of quality in the morning. A small 1 ft SSW swell, but check the period – 21 seconds! That is a very long period groundswell, and it’s pumping in with 368 units of energy. The glassy conditions from the NNW will make it look like a point break reel. It’ll be highly selective, with very long lulls, but the sets that come through will be pure, lined-up beauty. Only for the patient expert.

The last few days, Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th mornings, serve up more glassy, small SSW groundswells with good energy (359-402) and long periods (18-19 seconds). Again, a morning surfer’s game. The afternoons are a write-off with wind and storms. Tivives can be a bit inconsistent, but this run shows it tends not to stay poor for too long with these clean windows popping up.

Rusty out.
