The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next 16 days.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s gonna be a real test of patience. We’re looking at a long, dry stretch of poor surf conditions that lasts pretty much all the way through to Thursday, July 24th. There’s nothing worth paddling out for until then, so save your energy.
The one and only chance to wet a line comes early on Friday, July 24th. The morning looks like a proper little window. We’ll see a 6ft swell rolling in from the SE, and the wind is expected to go glassy – that’s the word we like to hear. This will make the conditions at Tuckers clean as a whistle. The combined energy will be a solid 311, which is a decent boost. The swell period is a bit short at 7 seconds, so it won’t be the most powerful stuff, but for a rare clean day, it’s the standout. The water temp is sitting at 81°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
But don’t get too excited. The afternoon of that same day drops off quickly, and the rest of the forecast is a write-off. After that Friday morning, it’s back to cross-onshore junk and no swell to speak of right through the end of the period. This is one of those cases where the forecast shows a blank run, and it’s more normal for the area to have these quiet spells. Keep your stick handy, because forecasts can change, but right now, you’ve got one shot, and it’s on the 24th.
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.
