The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Tuckers. Gotta be honest with you, looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s a pretty quiet stretch. For the first couple of weeks, we’re stuck with tiny, messy, onshore junk. There’s a glimmer of hope right at the very end, but we’re talking August 11th before anything even slightly interesting shows up.
Starting now, through the end of July and right into the first week of August, it’s grim. We’re looking at a solid run of tiny waves, mostly under 2 ft, coming from the east or southeast with periods all under 10 seconds. That’s short-period windswell at best, and the wind is a constant problem. For days on end, it’s a strong cross-onshore breeze from the southwest at 25 mph, creating poor, messy, blown-out conditions. The water is warm, about 82°, which is pretty standard for the time of year, but that’s the only nice thing I can say.
There’s a brief pulse of energy on July 28th morning, with the swell jumping to 7 ft from the SSW, but the period is a weak 7 seconds and the wind is still howling cross-onshore at 25 mph. The combined energy hits 460 (moderate), but that won’t matter because it’ll just be a messy, blown-out wall of water. This is one for the kites, not the paddle surfers, honestly.
We then hit a long, flat, and choppy patch. From the end of July right through August 9th, the swell barely scrapes 3 ft. The wind switches around but stays mostly cross-onshore or onshore, keeping everything lumpy and uninviting. The combined wave energy is weak, sitting in the 30s and 60s the whole time.
Now, the one bright spot comes on August 10th. Things finally start to look interesting. Monday morning we get a shift: a cross-offshore wind from the west at 15 mph, bringing clean conditions to a 2 ft swell from the SSE with an 8-second period. The combined energy is 61 (weak), but the clean faces will make it feel much better than the size suggests. For a point break like Tuckers, that longer-period swell and clean wind is exactly what you want. The best session is likely Monday morning.
Then, by Tuesday August 11th, we get the biggest (relative) pulse of the whole window. The swell jumps to 3 ft from the NNE, with a 6-second period. The combined energy hits 119 (moderate). The wind is a moderate cross-shore from the WSW at 15 mph. It’s not glassy, but it’s way better than anything else we’ve seen.
So, the standout is August 10th, Monday morning, at Tuckers. It’s the cleanest, most surfable it’s going to get. August 11th has a bit more energy but with a shorter period and cross-shore wind. Everything else is pretty much a write-off for a wave-riding surfer. Keep an eye on that Monday though.

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.
