The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got for Tuckers. It’s gonna be a long wait, so don’t hold your breath.

The whole 16-day window is painfully quiet. We’re looking at a stretch of mostly tiny, weak, or blown-out junk. From now until September 17th, it’s just poor surf with heights barely scraping 2 ft from the east and southeast, short periods under 12 seconds, and combined wave energy that barely registers (values in the 40s and 50s). The winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making it messy. A complete write-off.

The first faint heartbeat shows up on the morning of Friday the 18th. The swell bumps up a touch to 2 ft from the southeast, with a period of 12 seconds. The combined energy climbs into the moderate zone at 106. The wind turns off our optimum direction though — cross-offshore from the NNE. Still, the report calls it clean, and the waves are surfable, just very ordinary. It’s not something to get excited about.

We get teased again on Saturday the 19th. A morning of some clouds, then clearing, with offshore winds from the NNW at 9 mph. The swell stays small, 2 ft from the southeast in the morning, changing to east in the afternoon, with a period of just 8-9 seconds. The energy is moderate at 79-105. The report calls it “gentle offshore and clean.” It’s the best we’ll see, but that’s not saying much. For a point break that needs east-southeast swell to line up, a short-period 2 ft wave under offshore wind will be barely rideable on a log.

Sunday the 20th offers another clean morning with offshore N winds, but the swell is still just 2 ft from the east at 8 seconds (energy 94). By afternoon, the wind goes light cross-offshore and the energy drops to 69. It’s clean, but there’s almost no push.

After that, it’s back to a long, grim run. From Monday the 21st through to the end of the window, the winds get strong or stormy, the swell direction swings around from the north-northeast, and wave heights jump, but it’s all blown to pieces. On the 27th and 28th, the swell hits 8 ft to 8 ft from the north-northeast with very high energy (over 900 up to 1224), but it comes with gale-force onshore or cross-shore winds from the south and southwest. That’s a washing machine for a beach-and-reef setup. That chunk of swell looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The best on offer is the morning of Saturday the 19th of September at Tuckers. It’s the only time we see offshore winds (NNW 9 mph) with any swell at all. True, the swell is tiny at 2 ft from the east (period 9 seconds), and the break is “fairly consistent” but crowds are possible. The water temp anomaly is zero, so it’s average for September. Don’t expect a barrel; just a clean little wall for a longboard if the tide is right. Everything else you can write off.

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.

Tuckerman's is 3 km (2 miles) from Newport. If you plan a vacation in Rhode Island, look for hotels and other accommodation in Newport. Newport has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
