The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this is a tough stretch ahead for Tuckers. The next 16 days are looking lean, with barely a ripple worth paddling for. We’ve got a long, quiet gap from now right through until around the 6th of August before there’s even a hint of energy, and even then, it’s not pretty. Most of the time the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, the swell is small, and the waves are just messy.

Starting off from Thursday the 30th of July through to Wednesday the 5th of August, it’s a write-off. Swell heights are mostly under 3 feet, periods are short, around 6 to 9 seconds, and the combined energy is weak to moderate at best (29 to 82 range). The wind is cross-onshore or onshore from the SW, SSE, or SE, making everything choppy and poor. You’d be wasting your time.

Things try to pick up a little around the 6th and 7th of August. We see a slight bump: swell around 3 to 4 feet from the SE, with periods creeping up to 7 to 8 seconds, and combined energy getting into the moderate range (121 to 168). But the wind is still cross-onshore, and the wave comment is “poor surf conditions.” Not worth getting excited about.

Then we hit a quieter patch again from the 8th to the 11th of August. Swell drops back under 3 feet, mostly from the S or SE, and the energy is low. There’s one moment on the morning of the 9th of August where the wind goes glassy, and the swell is about 2 feet from the SSW—clean but tiny. That’s as good as it gets and it’s not saying much.

The only real standout, if you can call it that, happens on the 12th of August. The swell jumps to around 5 feet from the NNE in the morning, with a period of 7 seconds and combined energy of 295—the highest in the whole outlook. But the wind is a fresh cross-onshore from the SSW, making it lumpy. The break at Tuckers is a point, exposed to swell, and the optimum direction is ESE, so this NNE swell isn’t a great match. Still, if you’re an expert and desperate, there might be something to find. The afternoon stays similar at about 5 feet from the NE.

After that, from the 13th to the 14th of August, it fades again. Swell under 3 feet, wind cross-onshore or cross, and the energy is moderate but dropping. Not worth the drive.

So, bottom line: Tuckers has a long, drawn-out period of poor surf. The best window is around the 12th of August, but it’s for experts only due to the bump in size and messy conditions. For most of us, leave the board at home and check back later.

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.
