The Lowdown
Alright, I’m Rusty, and here’s the lowdown for the next 16 days.
First up, the water is running warm at 85°F, which is a solid 4°F above normal for this time of year. That’s a big deal – the ocean’s feeling like summer well into September.
Plain truth: the first real chance to surf doesn’t hit until Saturday, September 12th. That’s a long dry spell. From Monday the 7th through Friday the 11th, it’s all poor conditions and wonky wind. Nothing to write home about.
Come Saturday the 12th, we finally get a little something. Tuckers is a point break, and it’s fairly consistent. The swell is tiny – about 3ft out of the SE, with a 9-second period. Not big at all, but here’s the kicker: Saturday afternoon the wind drops to glassy. Dead flat. That’s a huge positive for clean waves. The combined wave energy is moderate (108), and the swell direction from the ESE is right where you want it for this spot. Sure, it’s small, but glassy conditions on a point break with the right swell direction? That’s the best we’ve got. Just know that crowds are possible here – it can get busy.
Sunday the 13th morning is also glassy, but the swell is down to 2ft. Still rideable, but meh.
From Monday the 14th all the way through to the 22nd, it’s mostly poor conditions, small waves, and short-period junk. The biggest bump comes on Monday the 21st of September, with swell up to 4ft from the ENE, but the period is only 7 seconds – weak, crumbly waves. The wind is fresh and cross-onshore, so it’s lumpy. Not worth planning around.
The one true standout in this whole 16-day stretch is Saturday afternoon the 12th. Glassy, clean, good swell direction. It’s not big, but it’s clean. Everything else is a bust.
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.
