The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've had a good look at the charts for the next 16 days, and I'm not going to sugar-coat it—it's a tough stretch for the Tuckers (Tuckers) area. You're looking at a solid gap of nearly two weeks with nothing worth paddling out for. The small, short-period swell and persistent onshore winds just aren't playing ball. It's one of those stretches where you're better off tuning the boards or finding something else to do.
The first real chance doesn't come until Saturday the 15th of August. That morning, we finally see a shift. The wind swings around to the NNW, blowing offshore, and while the swell is still tiny at 2 ft from the SE, the conditions will be clean. The combined energy is weak, and with a period of only 8 seconds, it's not going to have much push. It's a last-gasp option for the desperate, not a standout.
The following morning, Sunday the 16th of August, is much the same story. A bit more wind from the NNE, but still cross-offshore and clean. The swell is even smaller at 1 ft, with energy dropping off. Honestly, there's nothing in this outlook that gets me excited. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, but that's no consolation when the waves are flat.
So, to be blunt, there's no good surf on offer in this 16-day window. The combined wave energy never gets strong, and most days it's weak. For a spot like Tuckers, which is fairly consistent, this is a real dry spell. But forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor forever. Hang in there.
Stay frothy, 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.
