Tivives Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s shaping up for the Tivives stretch over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a long run of modest, but consistent, SSW groundswell coming through. The water is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable in just boardshorts. The main catch is that the afternoons are almost always a write-off with that stormy cross-on wind, so the game is all about the mornings.

The first real standout window is the morning of Thursday, July 9th. The conditions are as good as it gets – glassy, with a clean 2ft swell from the SSW. The combined energy is solid (339), and that long 15-second period means proper groundswell lines. It’s a bit small, but clean and inviting. The following mornings, Friday July 10th and Saturday July 11th, look very similar – glassy and clean with 2ft to 3ft of that same long-period SSW swell. Saturday morning even has a zero wind reading, promising a dead flat ocean before the afternoon storms roll in.

The next real highlight pops up on Saturday, July 18th. The morning session is glassy again with a 3ft SSW swell. The energy is a little higher there (349). It’s not huge, but for this setup, that’s a lovely, clean, long-period wave to yourself before the crowds and the afternoon slop show up.

For a bit of a change-up, the Monday afternoon of July 20th looks interesting. The wind goes dead calm and glassy with a 3ft S swell. The energy jumps up to 409, which is the strongest value in the whole run. That’s a proper pulse of energy with zero wind, so even though it’s a beach break, the long period (12 seconds) might make it a bit straight, but the clean conditions will make it worth a paddle.

The very end of the run, Wednesday July 22nd, brings a bit more size with a 3ft to 4ft SSW swell, but the period drops to 8 seconds. That’s short-period, weaker windswell, and the wind is onshore, so it’s one to skip.

Overall, the pattern is clear: hit the early mornings. The glassy conditions and that long-period groundswell will make for some fun, clean sessions. The first week has the best consistency, but that Monday the 20th afternoon is a standout for the biggest, cleanest energy spike.

Rusty.
