The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, with a look at what we've got on the table for Tuckers over the next couple of weeks.

Frankly, we're sitting through a pretty flat and frustrating stretch to kick things off. There’s a big, empty gap with no real surf to speak of from now until the morning of Wednesday, the 9th of September. You'll be looking at a lot of ankle-snappers and dribblers with hazy conditions up until then, so don't bother paddling out. The wind is mostly cross or cross-off, and the energy just isn’t there.

The first real sign of life shows up on Wednesday morning, the 9th. We've got a little bump of 4ft swell from the NNE, with a period of 9 seconds, and a combined energy of 233. The wind is offshore from the NNW, and with the water temp sitting at a very unseasonable 85°F, much warmer than normal for this time of year, it will feel more like a bath than the ocean. It’s clean, but it's hardly a classic. It just about gets a nod as surfable.

The real potential – and the standout window for the entire forecast – hits around Monday the 14th. Through the morning and into the afternoon, the swell builds from the NNE, hitting 4ft with that 8-second period. The combined energy jumps to 249 in the morning, climbing to 362 by the afternoon. It’s a modest size, but with a light breeze and clean conditions, Tuckers point could actually have some shape. The wind is cross-off and light, so it should be a decent session with manageable crowds, though you'll likely be sharing it. This is where I’d put my board in the car.

Following that, things get a little weird. Tuesday the 15th sees a jump in size to 6ft and then 7ft, all from the ENE, but with a cross-shore wind and a short 8-second period. The energy is strong (533 and 626), but the commentary points to marginal conditions. For a point break, that cross-shore breeze and short-period groundswell are a messy combination; it won't be clean, but it'll be powerful.

We finish the run on Friday, the 18th of September, with another pulse of 6ft from the NE. That morning, with a light cross-off breeze, it could clean up nicely. The energy is up at 359, so there's some punch there, and it looks like a better bet than the choppy Tuesday.

So, to wrap it up: wait it out through the weekend. Point the car at Tuckers on Monday, the 14th, for the best all-round session. Keep an eye on the 18th as a solid follow-up. The rest is a lot of waiting and watching.

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.
