Tivives Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let me talk you through the next couple of weeks at Tivives.

First off, the water is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing wild, but you’ll notice it’s a little toastier than average.

Right now, we’re in a bit of a dead zone. The start of the period is a no-go. Monday the 31st is a write-off with poor surf and onshore winds. Tuesday the 1st finally shows a small pulse of 2ft swell from the SSW, but it’s only really any good on Tuesday morning when the wind goes glassy and the water is clean. The energy is still weak (186), and the waves are small and ordinary – not worth rushing for.

Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are mostly poor, with brief glassy windows on Thursday morning showing 2ft swell from the SW and a period of 16 seconds. That’s a long period for such a small wave, so it’ll be clean but tiny. Not a standout.

Now, the first real standout arrives on Friday the 4th. Friday morning is the pick of the early run. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the SW, period 17 seconds, and the wind is glassy. The combined energy jumps to 516 (moderate energy) – that’s a solid step up. The waves will have proper shape and punch for a small day. This is your best bet for a clean, fun session. Tivives is a beach setup, so with that long period there’s a chance it breaks a little straight, but the glassy conditions will make it work.

Saturday the 5th is another good one for the early birds. 3ft swell from the SSW, 16 seconds, and glassy. Energy is 576 – strong for the size. The Saturday morning window is the best of the weekend, but the afternoon turns poor with a cross-onshore breeze.

Sunday the 6th morning still holds clean 3ft swell from the SSW with glassy conditions, but the energy drops to 374. Still surfable, but not as powerful as the previous days.

After that, the pattern is more of the same: small, clean windows in the mornings with glassy or light offshore winds, but the swell drops off. The 8th is very small (1ft) and not worth it. The 10th and 11th mornings show a little pulse of 3ft from the SSW with glassy wind and moderate energy (441 on the 10th, 359 on the 11th). These are okay but not standouts.

The second week – from the 11th onward – is quiet. The 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th all have tiny swell (1ft to 2ft) with long periods but barely any energy. You’ll get clean, glassy mornings but the waves will be weak and inconsistent. Not worth planning a trip around.

Overall, the best on offer is Friday morning the 4th and Saturday morning the 5th. Small, clean, glassy, and the most energy in the period. If you’re a beginner, the 3ft is fine. If you’re an expert, you’ll be hungry for more. Tivives is inconsistent, so this run of a few good mornings is a decent little window.
