The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good, hard look at what’s on the table for Tuckers over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – we’ve got a long, dry stretch to get through before anything worth paddling out for shows up.
Right now, we’re looking at a serious lull. The water is sitting at a very warm 85°, which is a full 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a pretty wild anomaly, feels like bathwater out there.
The first bit of the outlook is grim. From Wednesday the 9th through to Monday the 14th, the swell is tiny, mostly 1ft to 2ft, and the period is short. The combined wave energy is weak, sitting between 47 and 61 (null). The wind is a constant problem – cross-off, cross-on, or onshore – and the reports are all “poor surf conditions.” The only real flicker of hope comes on Saturday the 12th, where we get a clean offshore wind from the NNW, but the swell is still only 3ft. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
That first decent window doesn’t open until Sunday the 20th. The afternoon looks promising, with a 4ft swell from the NNE, a period of 9 seconds, and a light cross-off wind from the west. The combined energy jumps to 346 (moderate). The report says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s the standout of the whole forecast, but it’s over a week away, so keep that in mind.
Before that, on Saturday the 19th, we see a spike in energy with a 8ft swell from the NE and a massive combined energy of 1039 (very strong). But the wind is a nasty, strong cross-onshore from the SSW, and the report is still “poor surf conditions.” That’s a messy one for the experts only, and honestly, with that much wind and a beach setup, it might be more interesting for the kite surfers than paddle guys.
Monday the 21st brings a 4ft swell, but the wind is a near-gale from the NNE at 34 mph. That’s a hard pass. After that, it drops back into tiny, weak, and inconsistent swell for the rest of the period.
So, the only true standout is the afternoon of September 20th at Tuckers. Clean conditions, a decent 4ft NNE swell, and moderate energy. It’s not a world-beater, but in this stretch of flat, it’s the best we’ve got. The rest of the time, it’s knee-high and messy. Hold tight.
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.
