The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Tuckers.

Right off the bat, it’s a bit of a slow start. The first worthwhile surf we see is on Monday the 31st of August, but Monday morning is a write-off—storm risk and only 3ft SE swell with a short period, so it’s small and messy. The real kick-off is Monday afternoon. That’s when things get interesting. The wind drops to glassy, a 4ft SE groundswell (12-second period) rolls in, and the combined energy hits 365 (moderate wave energy). This is the first standout. Clean, glassy conditions with a decent little SE swell—this is the best on offer in the early part of the run.

Tuesday the 1st of September keeps the fun going. Morning session is glassy again with a 4ft SE swell, 10-second period, and 266 combined energy. Clean, lined-up waves. That’s your second standout. The afternoon goes a bit lumpy with cross-shore wind, so morning is the call.

Then we hit a long dry spell. From Tuesday afternoon all the way through to Sunday the 7th of September, it’s mostly poor. Wind picks up, swell drops, and the energy is weak (mostly under 100). There’s a few days there where it’s not worth paddling out. The wind gets strong—25 mph plus—and the swell is tiny. That’s a solid week of pretty average conditions.

But then, hold onto your board. Monday the 7th of September afternoon brings a shift: offshore wind from the NNW at 12 mph, 4ft SE swell with a 9-second period, and 275 combined energy. That’s clean and punchy. Then Tuesday the 8th of September morning is the real gem. Glassy, 6ft SSE swell, 10-second period, and a combined energy of 731 (strong). That’s a solid, powerful groundswell with clean conditions. Best waves of the whole forecast. The afternoon gets a bit onshore, but the morning is all-time for Tuckers.

After that, it’s back to the wilderness. From Wednesday the 9th right through to the end of the run on the 15th, it’s mostly cross-shore winds, moderate to fresh breezes, and small swell. The energy drops off and the quality is poor. There’s a blip on Monday the 14th of September afternoon with a tiny 1.0ft NE swell but a very long 15-second period—that’s a groundswell, but it’s so small it’s barely surfable. The 15-second period is notable, but at 1.0ft, it’s not doing much.

So, to sum it up: the best windows are Monday afternoon the 31st of August, Tuesday morning the 1st of September, and then Tuesday morning the 8th of September. That last one is the standout—glassy, strong 6ft SSE swell, clean. Get on it if you can.

Crowds are possible at Tuckers, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.

Stay stoked.

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.
