The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk about Tuckers.

Honestly, it’s looking pretty bleak out there. The water’s at about 82°F, which is normal for this time of year, so that’s a small win. But that’s where the good news ends.

We’ve got a gap at the start, with nothing rideable on Wednesday or Thursday. The swell is tiny and jumbled with cross-shore breezes messing things up. Don’t even bother.

Friday morning, the 7th, is the first faint glimmer. We get a light offshore N wind that cleans it up, but the swell is only 2ft with a short 7-second period. The energy is weak. It’s surfable, but if you're not keen, you're not missing much. The rest of that weekend and into the next week is a total write-off. The swell drops to around 1ft, and the wind swings around and picks up. We're talking days of nothing on offer. A proper flat spell.

The second week doesn't offer much of a reprieve. The swell stays tiny, and the wind gets fresh and lumpy from the southwest, making everything a mess. By the 14th onwards, there's a risk of thunderstorms and strong cross-shore winds, so even though a bit more energy shows up, the surface will be chopped up and ugly. This isn't a paddle-out situation; it looks more like a kite-surfing wind farm.

There is one late glimmer on the 19th. The energy jumps and the swell pushes to 5ft, but it's coming from the NNE with a short period of 7 seconds, and the wind is howling cross-onshore. It'll be a messy, lumpy close-out. Not worth the beating.

The best of a bad bunch is actually the 20th, Thursday morning. The wind swings around to a light NW cross-offshore, cleaning things up. The swell is 3ft with a bit more energy. It's still far from perfect, but that's about as good as it gets. You'd be surfing small, cleanish waves with hardly anyone out, so that’s the silver lining.

So, bottom line: this is a poor run at Tuckers. There’s nothing here that qualifies as a standout, and the gaps are several days long. It’s a pretty normal blank run for this stretch of coast, honestly. Forecasts can change, but as it sits, you’d be better off finding something else to do.

Keep the faith.

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.
