Tivives Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey everyone, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what we’ve got on the cards for Tivives. The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, but there are some definite windows to keep an eye on.

Right off the bat, the water temp is sitting at a toasty 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – you can definitely feel it.

We start off with some small, clean surf. Sunday the 12th has glassy conditions, with a 2 ft swell from the SSW. It’s nothing huge, and the combined energy is moderate (259), but with the offshore wind from the west and those glassy conditions, it’s a decent little window for a longboard or a funboard. The real standout of this early run is Monday the 13th morning. That same small SSW swell (2 ft) rolls in with a clean cross-off breeze from the NNW and combined energy up to 305. It’s not a big day, but for small waves that’ll be clean and playful, that’s your best bet.

Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th mornings follow a similar pattern – small and glassy or clean, but nothing really climbs in size. The combined energy stays in the moderate 200-300 range. By Wednesday the 15th afternoon, the wind starts to get messy, and we see a few afternoons spoiled by onshore breezes and thunderstorms for the rest of the week.

Now, if you’re looking ahead, things look more promising starting Sunday the 19th. The morning shows a 3 ft S swell with a combined energy jumping up to 399 – that’s moderate but on the stronger side. The wind is glassy from the NNW. That afternoon, the energy climbs even higher to 558, still with glassy conditions. That’s a notable uptick in power and will produce some proper little walls.

Monday the 22nd and Tuesday the 23rd see the swell drop away, with combined energy falling back under 200. It’s a bit of a lull here.

Then we get another little surge around Sunday the 26th. The morning brings a 3 ft S swell with a combined energy of 373 and calm, glassy conditions – that’s a solid morning session for the intermediates. The long-range look for Monday the 27th is also promising with good morning glass again on a 2 ft S swell.

If you want the pick of the entire outlook, I’d be aiming for the Sunday the 19th sessions, with that jump in energy and glassy winds. For the absolute cleanest small waves, the Monday the 13th morning is the one to beat.

The spot itself (Tivives) is inconsistent, so you’ve got to pick your moments. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so getting in early on those clean mornings is the move.

Alright, stay stoked. Rusty.
