Tivives Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk Tivives in feet and miles per hour. This spot is inconsistent, so we’re looking at a long stretch of small stuff. The first week is mostly ankle‑biters, with a few glassy windows that could be fun if you’re desperate. The real standout is the 27th and 28th of July, when a longer‑period SSW groundswell fills in with decent energy.

Water temp is 86°F, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The break likes swell from the SW, and the predominant direction is SSW, which is close enough.

Sunday the 19th afternoon: 3‑ft SSW swell at 12 seconds, but onshore wind – marginal. Monday the 20th afternoon goes glassy with 2‑ft SSW swell at 12 seconds – clean but small. Tuesday the 21st morning has glassy north wind and 2‑ft SSW swell – still tiny. The rest of the week stays 2–3 ft, with winds often cross‑offshore or glassy, but the energy is low (combined energy values 98 to 349). Not worth a drive.

Then Friday the 24th morning: a very long‑period 24‑second SSW swell, but only 1.3 ft high. Combined energy 281 – moderate, but you’re chasing little lines. Saturday the 25th morning: 2‑ft SSW at 21 seconds, energy 392, clean cross‑offshore wind – better but still small. Sunday the 26th morning: glassy calm, 2‑ft SSW at 19 seconds, energy 451 – expect good surf.

The real highlight is Monday the 27th morning: glassy, 3‑ft SSW at 19 seconds, energy 694 – that’s solid moderate energy, clean waves. Tuesday the 28th morning: 3‑ft SSW at 18 seconds, energy 690, again glassy. Those two mornings are the best of the entire 16‑day window. Crowds are possible – it says “sometimes” – so you might see a few others, but it won’t be a zoo.

After that, the swell fades. Wednesday the 29th morning: still glassy with 3‑ft SSW at 16 seconds, energy 561 – still good. Thursday the 30th morning: cross‑shore wind, 2.5‑ft SSW at 14 seconds, energy 273 – marginal. Early August drops to
