The Lowdown
Alright, this is a tough one to call. I’ve been staring at the charts for Tuckers, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a flat spell on the horizon. For the next 16 days, there’s just nothing doing. The models are showing waves, sure, but every single session is tagged as "poor surf conditions." It’s a bust.
Right now, into Wednesday the 15th, we’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the ENE with a short 6-second period. The wind is light and variable, glassy even in the afternoon, but there’s just no energy behind it. The combined swell energy is a weak 72 (moderate wave energy), so it’s barely a ripple. The water is sitting at a warm 81°, which is about average for the time of year.
This pattern just keeps rolling. The swell height barely cracks 3ft the whole run, and the period rarely gets above 8 seconds. The wind is almost always a cross or cross-on shore, which is no good for tidying it up. Even when the swell energy picks up around the 27th and 28th, hitting 229 (moderate wave energy), it’s still cross-onshore and lumpy. By the 30th of July, we’re looking at a fresh breeze blowing 22 mph cross-on, with a 3ft NE swell. That’s not surfing, that’s a washing machine.
Look, Tuckers is a point break that’s "fairly consistent" normally, and it’s exposed to the swell, so it tends to get something. But this 16-day window is a full-blown drought. The forecast can always change, but as it stands, there’s not a single standout session. For a point break that needs a clean swell, we’ve got nothing. Honestly, with that onshore wind and weak, short-period chop, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
Hang in there, the ocean will come back around.

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.
