The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the 16-day window opens up with a real flat spell. There’s nothing worth paddling out for at Tuckers until we get into the second week. The first few days are all tiny, weak, and messy – cross-shore winds and lumpy conditions just kill any chance of a decent wave. It’s gonna be a tough wait.
Come Monday the 17th, we finally see a little pulse of energy. The morning of the 17th shows a 2ft swell from the SE, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. Not great. The afternoon of the 17th actually bumps up a bit; we get a 3.6ft SE swell with a 12-second period, and the energy jumps to 344 (moderate). The wind is straight onshore from the SE though, so it’s gonna be a bumpy, closed-out mess. For experts only, if anyone. The 18th and 19th drop back to tiny, weak surf with cross-shore winds.
The first real standout, and I’m talking about the only one worth circling on your calendar, is the 26th of August. The morning of the 26th sees a 2ft SE swell, but the period is a very long 16 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy reads 223 (moderate). The wind is a moderate cross-onshore from the S, which will leave some chop on the face. The afternoon of the 26th is even better for power: a 2.6ft SE swell with a 14-second period, and the energy jumps to 308 (moderate). The wind stays onshore from the S though. This long-period swell is gonna hold up best at Tuckers, a point break, and it’ll line up nicely with the ESE optimum direction. The sets will be cleaner than anything we’ve seen, with longer gaps between them. It’s going to be a proper session for the crew who can read a point.
The 27th of August morning shows a 3.9ft SE swell with a 11-second period, and the energy is a solid 428 (moderate). But the wind is a fresh cross-onshore from the SSW, so it’ll be lumpy. This is still a good swell, but the wind is a real buzzkill.
Honestly, the whole period is a slog. The 26th is the clear standout. That’s the day to take off work.

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.
