The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Tuckers.
Honestly, the next week and a half is pretty grim for a decent paddle. The first real chance of anything worthwhile doesn’t pop up until the morning of Friday, August 21st. Before that, we’ve got a solid stretch of poor surf, cross-shore winds, and lumpy conditions that aren't worth your time. The water’s sitting at about 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The standout window looks to be Friday morning, August 21st. We’ve got a clean 3 ft swell rolling in from the SSE with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is glassy. That’s a rare treat. The combined energy is moderate at 227, so there’s enough push for a fun session on a point break that’s exposed to the ESE swell. It’s a fairly consistent spot, but crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get in early. The conditions should be clean and inviting.
After that, it dries up again quickly. Saturday the 22nd sees onshore wind from the SE and the swell drops off, and the rest of the forecast into late August is mostly small, weak, and choppy. There’s nothing else that’s really worth highlighting.
So, if you can wait until that Friday morning, you’ll be rewarded. Otherwise, it’s a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about.
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.
