Tivives Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’re looking at a pretty mellow stretch. The waves are gonna be small, but there’s a few windows where the conditions line up just right for a clean session. The standout is going to be Tivives, which is the only spot with any real consistency in the forecast. The water is sitting at a warm 86°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be plenty comfortable in boardies.

We start the run on Tuesday, September 8th with a glassy morning. Those 1 ft SSW swells are tiny, but the combined energy is weak (229) and the wind is dead calm. After that, the afternoons get messy with onshore winds and risk of thunderstorms, so it’s a morning-only game this week.

The first real highlight comes on Thursday, September 10th morning. Glassy conditions again, with a slight bump up to 3 ft from the SSW, and the period jumps to 18 seconds. That’s a proper long-period groundswell, and the combined energy is moderate (435). For a reef or point like Tivives, that long period will mean clean, lined-up waves with plenty of push for the size. The wind is glassy, so it’ll be real clean. This is probably the best on offer.

Friday, September 11th morning is similar, with another 2 ft SW swell, glassy wind, and great shape. The energy is still moderate (309). Another solid morning session.

Then we hit a bit of a lull. The mornings from Saturday the 12th through Monday the 14th are still glassy, but the swell drops off, and the period shortens up. The energy drops into the low 100’s (174, 162, 145). It’s surfable, but ordinary.

The second week picks up a bit. On Tuesday, September 15th morning, we see a spike to 4 ft from the S with a short period of 7 seconds. The energy jumps up to moderate (381). That short period means it’ll be a bit crumbly and soupy, but with glassy conditions, there’ll be some fun little ones to grovel on.

After that, the pattern settles back into a familiar rhythm. Glassy mornings with small swell (1 ft to 2 ft) and onshore, stormy afternoons. The energy stays low to moderate (124 to 296). Nothing is going to be pumping, but if you’re keen to get wet, the mornings are your friend.

The takeaway: For the whole 16-day window, there’s no big swell or epic standouts. The best call is to hit the water early on Thursday, September 10th or Friday, September 11th mornings at Tivives for the cleanest, longest-period waves on offer. The energy is moderate, the wind is off, and the water is warm. It’s not a classic, but it’s good enough.

Stay stoked, and check the forecast before you paddle out.
