The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, mate, it's gonna be a quiet run. For the bulk of the 16-day window, we're looking at a whole lot of small, weak surf with poor conditions. The first decent window doesn't really show up until Saturday the 22nd of August, and even then it's far from a classic.
The only real standout that's worth paddling out for is Tuckers on Saturday the 22nd of August. We've got a small 2ft swell rolling in from the SE, but the real story here is the wind. Both the morning and afternoon sessions are showing glassy conditions, which is a massive positive for such a small wave. The water temp is 84°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The swell energy is weak though, only around 84-90 (combined energy), and the period is a mixed bag of 12 seconds, which is okay but nothing special. It's a point break that's fairly consistent and exposed to that ESE swell, so it'll be offering up some clean, rideable little peelers. The crowds are sometimes a factor here, so you might have a few mates out. It's not going to be the session of the summer, but it's the best on offer.
After that, it's a long stretch of nothing special. The swell drops off again, and the wind turns mostly cross or cross-onshore, making for poor surf conditions right through to the end of the month. There's a slight bump in swell energy around the 26th and 27th of August, hitting 3ft from the SE, but with onshore winds and a short period of 8 seconds, it's just gonna be a messy, choppy affair. Not worth getting excited about.
We do see things trying to improve a little on the 4th of September. The Friday afternoon shows a return to glassy conditions with a 2ft, 8-second SE swell, and the combined energy is back up to 103. It's still tiny, but it's clean. That's a long way out though, so treat it as a promising might-be rather than a lock.
Bottom line: If you're desperate for a paddle, get down to Tuckers on Saturday the 22nd of August for the cleanest you'll see. Otherwise, keep an eye on the long-range for the 4th of September. You're gonna be waiting a lot between sets.
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.
