The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Tuckers.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a 16-day window, but honestly, there’s not a single session that gets the green light. The surf is consistently tagged as “poor,” and the scores are flat across the board. The whole first week is a write-off, and the second week doesn’t offer any redemption. We’re talking about a solid two weeks of nothing worth paddling out for.
The biggest issue is the wind. For most of the period, it’s pumping from the south through to the east-southeast at 15 to 22 mph, making it onshore or cross-onshore, turning the ocean into a lumpy, choppy mess. Even when the swell bumps up to 5 ft to 6 ft on Thursday and Friday the 24th and 25th of July, the wind is ruining it. The combined energy gets up to 314 (moderate), but it’s all wind-affected junk. The swell period is short, mostly 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, windswell.
There is a tiny glimmer on the 3rd and 4th of August. Monday the 3rd shows glassy conditions with a calm wind, but the swell is a mere 2 ft with a combined energy of just 67 (weak). It’s a flat, clean pond. Tuesday the 4th is similar with a light breeze and 2 ft to 2 ft waves. Not enough to push a log over.
Tuckers is a point break that likes an ESE swell, and the swell direction is close, but the quality is never there. The water temperature anomaly is about average for the time of year, so nothing to report there.
The bottom line: don’t bother. This is one of those rare blank runs for this area. It’s not going to stay poor forever, but for now, the line-up is dead. The only thing that might get going here is a kite, because the wind is consistent and the surf is weak.
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.
