The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and miles. So, what’s the story at Tuckers? It’s a slow start – from today, Tuesday the 11th of August, right through the rest of the week, there’s nothing worth the paddle. Wind is hammering from the southwest, cross-shore and lumpy, with swell barely a foot and a half from the southeast at 8 seconds. The energy is weak (36), so save your energy. That messy cross-shore pattern with fresh winds keeps up until Saturday the 15th. By Sunday the 16th afternoon, things clean up a touch – a gentle north-northeast breeze at 9 mph, cross-off, with a 2ft south-southeast swell, energy at 103 – but it’s still pretty ordinary.
Now, the good stuff: Monday the 17th of August afternoon shows a real jump. Swell hits 5ft from the southeast with a 14-second period, cross-off northeast breeze at 9 mph, clean as a whistle, and the combined energy is a strong 722. That’s a solid standout. But the crown jewel is Tuesday morning the 18th of August: 6ft of southeast groundswell, 11-second period, light northeast wind at 6 mph and glassy cross-off conditions. Energy is 689 (strong). That morning at Tuckers is your best bet – head-high plus, clean, and that point loves the east-southeast direction. Crowds are possible, so get there early.
Wednesday the 19th of August stays decent: 4ft in the morning from the east-southeast with offshore north winds at 12 mph, clean, energy at 282. Afternoon is 4ft from the southeast, still offshore from the north-northwest, energy 241. Worth a paddle.
After that, it drops off fast. Thursday the 20th sees 2ft, and from Friday the 21st through to Wednesday the 26th of August, it’s mostly ankle-to-knee high, with weak energy often under 100 and cross-shore winds. There’s a moment on Monday the 24th morning with glassy conditions and a 2ft southeast swell, but it’s barely surfable. So, mark your calendar for Monday the 17th afternoon and especially Tuesday the 18th morning – that’s your window. Everything else is a long wait.

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.
