Tivives Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a stretch ahead that starts pretty quiet, so don’t rush down to Tivives just yet. The first few days are looking pretty flat and ordinary, with only tiny ankle-snappers on offer. The water is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 86°, but that’s about the only thing going for us early on.

The first real hint of anything rideable comes on Sunday the 23rd in the morning. It’s glassy, clean as a whistle, with a light 3 ft swell from the south. The energy is weak though, only about 259 (moderate wave energy), so it’s a small-wave session for the longboard or foiler. Nothing to get excited about.

We drift through a few more days of similar small, glassy conditions – Monday morning the 24th is again 3 ft south swell, glassy, but the energy is still low. You’ll be scratching for a wave.

Then, Friday the 28th shows a glimmer. The morning brings a clean, cross-off wind and a 1 ft swell from the southwest, but the period jumps to 20 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 303 (moderate wave energy). That long period will make for some proper lines, but it’s still small. A good sign of things to come.

The real standout is Saturday the 29th in the morning. Glassy conditions, a 3 ft southwest swell, and the energy jumps to 458 (moderate wave energy). It’s the best of the first week, but honestly, still pretty average.

Now, hold onto your board, because the real winner is a week and a half out. Friday the 4th of September is the one to circle. The morning is glassy, with a 4 ft southwest groundswell, a period of 18 seconds, and the combined energy hits a massive 1049 (strong wave energy). That’s proper power. The swell direction is perfect for Tivives, and with that glassy morning, it’ll be clean as a pin. This is the best of the whole forecast. It’s a bit of a wait, but it’s got real punch.

Saturday the 5th of September follows up nicely too, with a glassy morning, 4 ft southwest swell, and energy at 722 (strong wave energy). Another solid day.

The last few days of the outlook, like Sunday the 6th of September, drop back to smaller, but still clean, 3 ft swell. A decent end to the run, but nothing beats that Friday the 4th.

Just remember, Tivives is inconsistent, so it doesn’t fire often, but when it does, and the wind is right, it’s worth the wait. Crowds are possible here, especially on a good day.

Stay stoked.

Rusty.
