The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Tuckers (point). Honestly, it’s a grim outlook for the next couple of weeks. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first week is a write-off. From Tuesday, July 14th right through to Wednesday, July 22nd, we’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, coming from the NE or ENE with a short, weak period of 6 to 9 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak, mostly in the double digits, like 136 on Tuesday morning, dropping right down. The wind is a problem too – mostly cross or cross-on from the east or southwest, creating a choppy, lumpy mess. There’s really nothing to get excited about here. That’s over a week of flat, crummy conditions.
Now, there is a flicker of something on the horizon. On Thursday, July 23rd, we get a pulse of swell. The morning sees a 6 ft swell from the ESE with a period of 13 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 1168, which is a solid moderate energy. Into the afternoon, it builds to 7 ft from the ESE with a 12-second period, and the energy hits 1401. That’s a very strong, long-period groundswell. The problem is the wind is still a moderate cross-shore from the SW, 15 mph, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. It’s a marginal call, maybe a bit fat and wonky with the tide. This is the only standout, but it’s a week and a half away, so treat it as promising but not locked in. For experts, that 7 ft swell is a serious option, but it’s too big for beginners.
After that, it drops back. Friday the 24th sees a smaller 4 ft from the SSW, but the wind is cross-on and choppy again. The rest of the outlook into late July is just more of the same – small, weak swell and onshore winds. So, if you’re a die-hard, keep an eye on that Thursday, July 23rd, but for the rest, it’s a waiting game. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most days.

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.
