The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Looking at the bigger picture for Tuckers over the next 16 days, we’ve got a small window of decent surf right at the start, but after that, it’s a long stretch of poor conditions with very little to get excited about. The water’s sitting at a warm 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus for the sessions that are worth paddling out for.
The only real standout here is the opening window. On Monday afternoon (August 31st), Tuckers is showing a 3 ft swell from the SE, with a 12-second period. That’s a nice long-period groundswell, which is perfect for a point break like this, giving it shape and power. The wind is glassy from the SSE at 3 mph, making for clean, smooth conditions. The water is a touch warmer than average, and the combined wave energy is a moderate 308. It’s not huge, but for a lazy afternoon, it’s the best you’re going to get. Just keep in mind, crowds sometimes roll through here on a clean day, so you might have some company. That window is your best bet.
After that, it’s a long drought. From Tuesday morning (September 1st) all the way through to the end of the forecast on the 15th, the surf quality drops off hard. Winds turn cross or cross-on, and the swell size stays small, mostly between 1 ft and 5 ft, but the wind messes it up. The combined energy drops down to weak values (common in the 40-80 range), and the periods are short and junky. There’s a brief moment on Monday afternoon (September 7th) where the wind goes offshore from the NW at 12 mph, with a 2 ft SE swell and a 10-second period, but the energy is still weak at 87. It’s rideable, but nothing special. The rest of the window is a write-off with strong winds and messy conditions.
Bottom line: if you want a surf, hit it on Monday afternoon (August 31st). After that, you’re looking at two weeks of mostly poor conditions, with only a few ordinary, barely-surfable days. It’s a tough run for the area, but forecasts can always change.

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.
