Tivives Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me tell you what I’m seeing for Tivives over the next couple of weeks. To be honest, this isn’t a classic stretch for us; it’s going to be a bit of a patience game.

Right now, and for the first few days, it’s pretty lackluster. We’re starting with a tiny, weak swell from the south mixing with a cross-off wind. The water temp feels about normal for this time of year, nothing wild. The combined swell energy is only 229 (weak energy) on Thursday the 13th, and the wind goes onshore in the afternoon, making a mess of things.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The real standout window begins on Friday, August 14th. The morning is the clear winner. We’ve got a clean 2ft swell from the southwest, and the wind goes completely glassy with 0 mph – dead flat. This is the best you’ll see. The period is a solid 18 seconds, a proper groundswell with good shape and power. The combined energy jumps to a solid 446 (moderate wave energy). Saturday the 15th morning is very similar: 3ft from the SSW, glassy again, with 585 energy (moderate wave energy). That’s your best shot for clean, long-period lines.

Further out, the size does tick up. By Saturday, August 22nd, the morning sees 3ft from the south, glassy, with 273 combined energy. Again, a good clean morning. But look, after that, it trails off. By the last week of August, we’re looking at tiny 1.0ft to 1ft swells with weak energy, often with poor wind.

For the standout pick: hit Tivives on the morning of the 14th, 15th, or 16th of August. The combination of that long-period southwest swell, glassy conditions, and the moderate energy (446 to 585) means it will be clean and fun for intermediates. The crowd factor here? It’s a spot that *sometimes* gets busy, so don’t be surprised if you have company on those good mornings, especially with the conditions that good.

Tivives is inconsistent, but when it lines up like this, it’s worth the gamble. Don’t bother with the afternoons; the afternoon thunderstorms and onshore wind ruin it every time. Mostly, this area is a morning-only proposition.

So, keep your eye on the morning windows in the middle of August. It’s not going to be massive, but it will be clean.
