Tivives Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s run through this one. We’ve got a real mixed bag coming up for the next 16 days, starting with a few sweet windows but then a whole lot of nothing.

Right out of the gate, the standout is Tivives. This break is a little inconsistent, but when it lines up, it’s a gem. The best window kicks off on Saturday 25 July morning. A super long-period SSW groundswell (21 seconds) is wrapping in at 2 feet, and with a glassy NNW breeze of 3 mph, the ocean is going to be mirror flat. The combined energy is moderate (402). It’s going to be clean, lined-up, and a real treat for an intermediate surfer. This is easily the best on offer. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

The Saturday afternoon gets messy with a cross-on wind, so session done by lunch.

Sunday 26 July morning stays clean with a light cross-off wind and a touch more size at 2 feet swell (moderate energy 409). A solid repeat of the morning. Monday 27 July morning is another cracker – glassy NW wind, 3 feet of swell (strong energy 729), and the water temp is about average for the time of year. This is the best of the bunch. Tuesday 28 July morning is also all-time glassy with calm wind and 3 feet swell (strong energy 688). The water is warm and still.

From Wednesday 30 July onwards, the swell drops and the period starts to shorten. The afternoons are all pretty much blown out with risk of thunderstorms and cross-onshore winds. The mornings are still glassy, but the wave heights are just knee-to-waist high at best, with combined energy dropping into the 100s. It becomes surfable but very ordinary.

There’s a long gap of really lackluster surf from 30 July all the way through to 6 August. It’s not terrible, but not worth rushing out for. Then, on Friday 7 August morning, we get a late flash of good conditions again – glassy wind, 2 feet of a long-period SSW groundswell (18 seconds), and moderate energy (384). It’s worth a look if you’ve been waiting. The following Saturday 8 August morning is also glassy and clean, but the swell is smaller.

The final day of the forecast, Sunday 9 August morning, delivers a glassy, calm morning with a 1-foot groundswell (20 seconds) and moderate energy (321). It’s small but will be clean as a whistle.

All in all, the first few days are the real deal. After that, it’s a waiting game with a few glimmers of hope in the second week. Keep an eye on the glassy mornings.

Rusty.
