Tivives Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks.

It’s been pretty flat and quiet, but there are a couple of windows where the ocean will clean up enough to make things fun. We’re looking at small, weak swell overall, with a few mornings of glassy conditions that will make the best of it. The two standout windows are the Wednesday morning coming up and then the following Saturday morning. Those are your best bets.

First, the immediate stretch. Sunday the 9th is tiny, with a 2ft SSW swell and a light NE breeze in the morning. Water temp is sitting at 86°, which is a bit warmer than usual for this time of year. The energy is weak (190), so it won't be breaking with any punch. It's surfable, but nothing to get excited about. Monday and Tuesday stay in the same range, with 1ft to 2ft swells. The mornings are clean, but the afternoons get chopped up by a south cross-onshore breeze.

Now, for the first real standout: Wednesday morning, August 12th. The swell bumps up slightly to 2ft from the SSW, with a 16-second period. The wind goes totally glassy, and the energy kicks into the moderate range (435). This is your cleanest, most promising surf of the first week. It's small, but it'll be lined up and super fun. The afternoon sees a cross-on breeze, so get out early.

The next few days stay small, but Thursday and Friday mornings are both glassy. Friday’s swell is a touch bigger, 2ft from the SW, with an 18-second period and energy of 389. Mornings are the go. It'll be clean, but expect some lulls.

Then we hit the main event: Saturday morning, August 15th. We get a 3ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and the energy is in the strong range (512). The wind is light and glassy early, making for clean conditions at Tivives. This is the pick of the whole window. The afternoon looks good too, with a NE offshore breeze keeping it clean. Expect shoulders and the most push we’ve seen all period. This is your best session.

The rest of the weekend stays small but clean on the Sunday morning with a 2ft SW swell. After that, we drop back down, with mornings remaining glassy but the surf becoming inconsistent and weak. Around the 19th, the height bumps up to 4ft, but the period drops to 8 seconds—that's wind swell, and it will be softer and less organized. Not worth chasing unless you’re desperate.

The tail end of the period sees the swell fade right off, with long-period energy in the water but tiny heights of 1ft to 3ft. The 23rd morning looks cleaner, but it won’t be breaking consistently.

So, bottom line: skip the small, mid-week mush. Your two targets are the Wednesday morning (August 12th) for a clean, fun session, and the standout Saturday morning (August 15th) for the biggest, cleanest surf of the fortnight. Lock those in.

Rusty out.
