Tivives Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks of surf. It’s a mixed bag, so let’s get into it.

The overall vibe is pretty mellow. We’ve got some fun, rideable waves, but nothing huge. The standout windows are going to be in the early mornings when the wind goes calm and the ocean turns to glass. The afternoons, with those storms brewing, are mostly a washout. The water’s a warm 86°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – you can feel that extra bit of warmth when you’re sitting in the lineup.

We start off with a quiet run. Tuesday the 11th has some weak, small swell, but it’s cross-on and choppy. Not worth your time.

Wednesday the 12th, though, that’s where it starts. The morning is the move. We’ve got a clean 2ft of SSW swell with a long 16-second period, and it’s glassy. This is a proper little clean-up session for Tivives (Central Pacific). The long period might make it a bit straight at a beach break, but there should be some fun ones. The afternoon gets messy with the onshore breeze, so get it while you can.

Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th have some small, clean mornings, with the swell holding around 2-2ft. Friday morning looks a touch better with that SW swell and an 18-second period. Still glassy, still clean. These are good, cruisy days for a longboard.

Saturday the 15th is where the first standout window is. The morning has a solid 3ft of SSW swell at 16 seconds and it’s glassy. This is the pick of the first week. Saturday afternoon also cleans up nicely with a light cross-off breeze, keeping the 3ft SW swell pretty tidy.

Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th are similar, with clean, cross-off winds and 2ft of SW swell. Consistent, fun, and not too packed, though you can expect a few others out.

Things get smaller and less reliable from Tuesday the 18th through the following weekend. The swell drops and the periods shorten. There are still some glassy mornings, but it’s getting into “ordinary conditions” territory. It’s a good time to check the tides and be patient.

Now, looking further out, there’s a promising blip for Wednesday the 26th. The morning looks fantastic: 2ft of S swell at 16 seconds with calm, glassy conditions. The afternoon readings show the strongest energy of the whole forecast. It’s a long way out, so we can’t fully trust it, but if that holds, the Wednesday morning session could be the best of the entire run. Just remember, the afternoon on that day turns to poor cross-on junk again, so it’s all about being there early.

So, to sum it up: your best bets are the Saturday the 15th morning, and keep a close eye on that Wednesday the 26th morning for something special. The rest is small and clean at times, but nothing to get overly excited about.

Stay stoked.

Rusty.
