The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Tuckers over the next 16 days is a bit of a slow burn. There’s a big gap of flat, average conditions before we finally see a real window of opportunity, and even then it’s a calculated gamble.

For the first two weeks, it’s a tough slog. From now through to the 18th of September, the surf is mostly poor. You’ll see some small bits of energy, but the quality is just not there. The combined energy is often weak, under 100, and the swell is tiny. It’s a long stretch of waiting. The water temperature is sitting at 85°, which is a notable 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a warm bath out there.

The real standout, the only one worth getting excited about, arrives on the 19th of September. That Saturday afternoon, we finally get a proper pulse. The combined energy jumps right up to 460, which is a solid, moderate push. The swell builds to 6ft from the NE, with a period of 8 seconds. It’s not a super long period groundswell, but it’s got enough push to get the point working. The wind is key here – it’s light and from the NW, offering a clean, cross-off breeze. This is the best window of the whole forecast. It’s a promising setup, but remember, it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.

Tuckers is a point break that’s fairly consistent. The crowds can be a factor sometimes, so you might not have it all to yourself on that Saturday. The difficulty is rated intermediate plus, and with a 6ft swell, it’s going to be pushing into the territory that’s best for experienced surfers. Beginners might find it a bit much.

There’s a tiny glimpse of hope on the 19th morning with a 2ft SSE swell and offshore winds, but it’s small and just a warm-up for the main event. The real story is that Saturday afternoon. Get ready for a late-season pulse.

Rusty.

Information about the Tuckers Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Tuckers provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tuckers can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tuckers surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Tuckers) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Tuckers may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
