Alright, I’m looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I’ve got to be honest with you – it’s a brutal stretch.

There is absolutely nothing worth paddling out for in this entire 16-day window. It’s a total blank run here at Tuckers. For this area, a run like this isn’t unheard of, but it still stings. Forecasts can change, but right now, you’re better off keeping your board in the bag.

The main problem is a relentless cross-shore wind. Starting from Sunday the 12th and going all through the following weekend, it's blowing hard from the west and southwest. We get a couple of cleaner windows with a cross-offshore wind on Tuesday and Wednesday the 14th and 15th, but the swell is just too weak. The combined wave energy barely gets above 90 (moderate at best), and the wave height is under 3 feet with a short, weak period of 6-7 seconds. You get a brief moment of glass on Wednesday afternoon the 15th, but the energy is still tiny. It's just not worth it.

From Thursday the 16th onward, it gets messier. The wind switches back to cross-shore and even cross-onshore, and we get some stronger breezes. The water temp is a warm 80° F, which is normal for this time of year, so at least you won't freeze while you're waiting.

Later in the week beginning the 21st of July, you see the combined energy climb into the 200-230 range (moderate energy), but it's all coming with a messy cross-onshore and onshore wind. The swell direction goes northeast, but the quality is poor. That’s looking more like a kite-surfing setup than something for a paddle surfer. The period is short at 8 seconds, so no real power.

Even into the final days of the month, we get clean cross-offshore winds on the 26th and 27th of July, but again, the wave heights are tiny (max 3 feet or so) and the energy is weak for that east swell. It’s clean, but there’s no juice.

So that's the forecast. A long, dry stretch. Usually things turn around, but for now, take the time off.

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.
