Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tuckers over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. I’ve had a good look at the charts for the next 16 days, and honestly, it’s a tough run for the only spot we’ve got on the radar: Tuckers. This is a point break that needs a clean ESE swell and some decent wind to turn it on, but we’re not getting much of that.
There’s a big gap of near-zero surf kicking things off. From Sunday the 12th right through the morning of Wednesday the 15th, we’re looking at tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. The combined swell energy is barely registering between 56 and 104 (that’s weak to low-moderate energy), and the wind is mostly a fresh cross-off or cross-shore breeze, which is not doing the shape any favors. It’s a frustrating start.
The first real glimmer of hope, and it’s a faint one, comes on Wednesday the 15th afternoon. The wind drops right off to a glassy 3 mph from the NNE, which is a major positive. The wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and I see a 3 ft swell from the ENE with a 7-second period. The energy is a low 79, so it’s not punchy, but that light wind will make it look clean. It’s the best we’ve got in the first week, but it’s still a real struggle for a point break that wants more direction.
The second week is a bit of a mess. We see a pulse of bigger swell kick in around Friday the 17th, with heights hitting 5 ft from the WSW and a short 6-second period. The combined energy jumps to 196 (moderate), but the wind is a fresh cross-shore at 19 mph, making it lumpy and cross-chop. That’s not a fun paddle. After that, it drops back into tiny, weak surf with poor onshore flow for days. The only other notable bump is on Monday the 20th afternoon, with a 5 ft short-period WSW swell (energy 183), but again, it’s a fresh cross-onshore wind, so it’ll be lumpy and choppy.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual to report.
So, to be honest, there’s no true standout here. The only moment worth considering is that Wednesday the 15th afternoon at Tuckers. If you’re desperate for a paddle and the wind holds light, you might get a few clean if weak lines. But for the rest of the 16 days? It’s a long, flat, or messy stretch. Keep the board in the bag and wait for the next system.
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.
