The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a paddle. Let's get into it.
We’ve got a big dry spell to start. From now through the 5th of August, the swell is tiny and the wind is just plain nasty. Most days it’s a fresh cross-onshore breeze, making a mess of what little bump there is. The wave energy is weak, sitting at just 36 to 84 (moderate energy at best on the 31st). It’s not worth getting wet for.
The first real sniff of something happens on the 5th of August. Wednesday afternoon, the wind drops right out to glassy. It’s only 3ft of swell from the SE, but it’s clean. The wave energy is still moderate (84), but with that glassy surface, it's the only time in the whole window where the conditions are actually surfable. It’s a small window, so if you’re desperate for a slide, that’s your moment.
Then we get a spike in size on the 6th of August. Thursday sees a jump to 7ft from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds. The wave energy ramps right up to 580 (strong). That’s a lot of water moving, but it’s cross-on and the conditions are only marginal. For a crew of experienced surfers at Tuckers, it might offer some power, but it’s a bit of a messy beast. The 6ft on the afternoon is the same story.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. From the 7th of August all the way through to the 14th, we’re looking at mostly poor surf conditions. The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, the swell drops back under 3ft, and the wave energy is weak, often below 100. There’s a brief pulse on the 12th of August with 6ft from the SSW and energy of 292, but it’s sloppy with a moderate cross-onshore chop. That’s a kite-surfing setup, not a surfing one.
Honestly, the only standout in this whole 16-day slog is that glassy Wednesday afternoon (5th August) at Tuckers. It’s not a bomb, but it’s the cleanest wave you’ll see. The bigger stuff on the 6th has power, but the wind is against it. It’s a real lean run.
Rusty out.

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.
