The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it.
Well, I’ve gotta be honest with you—this is a tough outlook for Tuckers. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for any decent surf. We’re looking at a long, drawn-out stretch of poor conditions, with no real standouts to get excited about.
From Wednesday the 22nd of July right through to Thursday the 6th of August, the story is the same: poor surf. The wind is a constant problem, mostly cross-onshore, onshore, or just plain fresh, with speeds sitting between 12 mph and 25 mph. The swell is small and weak, with wave heights bouncing between 1 ft and 5 ft, and the period is short, mostly 5 to 9 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate, ranging from 33 to 287. Nothing has the power or the right wind to make it worthwhile.
The water temperature is 82°F, which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
There is absolutely no point chasing any of this. The best of a bad lot might be a slight drop in wind on the morning of Wednesday the 5th of August, with a gentle breeze of 9 mph and a swell from the SE at 2 ft and a period of 10 seconds, but even then it’s cross-onshore and choppy. That’s not a recommendation, just the least terrible window.
This is a classic blank run for this area. It tends not to stay poor for long, and forecasts can change, so keep an eye on things. But for now, give the boards a rest.
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.
