The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one to write. Looking at the whole 16-day window, the story is pretty much the same from start to finish: small, weak, and blown out. There ain't a single standout session in the lot. We're looking at a long, flat spell with nothing to get excited about.
For Tuckers, the whole run kicks off on Thursday the 16th of July and it's a non-starter. We're talking about a tiny 2 ft swell from the ENE with a weak energy reading of just 69. The water's a warm 81°, which is right on the money for this time of year, nothing unusual there. But the wind is already a cross-on mess, and it's not going to get better.
The next few days are just more of the same. We go through Friday the 17th, Saturday the 18th, and Sunday the 19th with swell barely hitting 1 ft or 2 ft at best, and the energy stays in the pathetic 40-56 range. The wind is a constant cross-on or cross-shore breeze, chopping everything up. It's just not worth paddling out.
There's a slight tick up on Wednesday the 22nd of July, with the swell finally bumping up to 4 ft to 4 ft from the SE, and energy kicking into the triple digits at 137 and then 201. But the wind is still a fresh cross-on mess, so it's just lumpy, poor surf. The same goes for Thursday the 23rd – we get a bigger push of 7 ft from the ESE, and the energy jumps to a strong 683, but it's under a fresh onshore breeze and a risk of thunderstorms. At that size, it's going to be a raw, ugly, expert-only mess, and not a fun one.
The last week of July is a slow fade. Friday the 24th has 5 ft and 4 ft with the wind finally turning onshore, but the quality is still zilch. By Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th, the swell is back down to 3 ft and 3 ft with barely any energy, and the wind is either onshore or cross-on. It's a long, drawn-out nothing.
So, to be blunt, there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The whole forecast is a bust. The swell is too small, too weak, and the wind is never on our side. For a spot like Tuckers, this is just a normal, quiet period. It's a waiting game. Don't bother checking the cam. Forecasts can change, but right now, stay home and wax a board for the next one.
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.
