Tivives Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Tivives over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, the first few days are a bit of a write-off for a decent paddle. The swell is tiny and the conditions are just ordinary. The water temp is sitting at 86°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – you’ll feel that extra warmth.

The first hint of something worth getting out of bed for comes on Thursday, August 8th. The early morning glass-off at Tivives with a clean cross-off breeze from the NNW is your best bet early on. The swell is small at 2ft from the SSW, but it’s got some long-period groundswell (16 seconds) behind it, and the combined energy is strong (294). That long period means the waves will have proper shape and push, perfect for a cruisy session on a point setup. Just be aware that with a long period like that, the sets can be a bit more spaced out, but the paddle out will be easy.

The real standout, though, is Friday, August 16th. The whole day looks magic. The morning is glassy, calm conditions, with 3ft of S swell at 11 seconds. That’s a solid building trend, and the energy is strong (343). Then the afternoon holds up too – still glassy, with a light wind and 2ft SW swell at 15 seconds and even stronger energy (382). This is a genuine window of clean, fun surf that won’t be too big for intermediates, and it’s easily the best on offer. If you can only pick one day, this is it.

Before that, there is a bit of a gap from the start until the 8th, but the conditions improve slowly. The weekends are generally plagued by stormy afternoon breezes, so mornings are the key.

Overall, Tivives is showing some promise, especially in the second week. The long-period swells and glassy mornings will make for some clean, lined-up waves. It’s on the smaller side, so don’t expect a big day, but for quality, you’ll be stoked.

Rusty.
