Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tuckers over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the outlook for Tuckers is a rough one for the next week and a half. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf conditions, with the first real glimmer of hope not showing up until Tuesday, July 14th. The 16-day window opens with a lot of nothing. From Wednesday, July 8th, right through to Monday, July 13th, the surf is a write-off. Waves are tiny – mostly 1 ft to 2 ft out of the SE – with a short period, and the wind is either cross, cross-off, or just plain messy, keeping it all lumpy and chopped. The water temperature here is 82°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least a dip won’t be a shock to the system.
Then, finally, things kick off a bit on Tuesday, July 14th. A new swell rolls in from the NE, pushing up to 6 ft with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 451, so there’s some proper push. Best of all, the wind is light out of the NE on Tuesday afternoon, keeping it clean. This is a solid, punchy wave for intermediate surfers. It’s a bit of a step up from the dead flat we’ve been seeing. The optimum swell direction for Tuckers is from the ESE, and this is coming from the NE, so it’s not perfect, but it’s the best on offer by a long shot. Keep in mind, crowds are possible here.
The standout, and the one to really circle on the calendar, is Wednesday, July 15th. The swell drops back a touch to 5 ft, but the wind goes glassy. Dead calm. A light SSE breeze at 3 mph. The period is still a short 8 seconds, but with that glassy surface, the 5 ft NE swell (241 combined energy) will be clean and fun. This is the pick of the forecast. It’s a morning call – the afternoon turns cross-on and choppy, so get on it early. This is your window for the best, cleanest waves.
After Wednesday, it’s a slow fade back into the doldrums. From Thursday, July 16th, onward, the swell drops back to 1 ft – 3 ft, the wind turns onshore or cross-shore, and the quality disappears. The second week is a write-off for surfable waves. The stretch from July 16th to July 23rd is a long, flat, and choppy affair.
So, to sum it up: sit tight until Tuesday the 14th for a bit of size, but the real gem is the glassy morning of Wednesday, July 15th. Don’t sleep on it.
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.
