The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the Tuckers outlook for the next couple of weeks. And I gotta be straight with you – it’s a mighty thin pickin’s period for this spot. There’s a big gap of surf that’s just not worth paddling out for, so we’re gonna have to be patient.
The first real chance for a wave comes Monday, August 31st, in the morning. We’re looking at small, clean surf with a swell from the SE at 3ft and a period of 9 seconds. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 85°. The wind is glassy, which is a beautiful thing, and the combined swell energy is moderate (138). It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary – not something to write home about.
The standout of the whole forecast, and the only one that really gets the heart pumping, is Monday afternoon, August 31st. The wind stays glassy, the swell bumps up to 4ft from the SE, and the period stretches to 12 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and the combined energy jumps to 364 (moderate). The conditions are set to be good. This is the window. It’s not huge, but it’ll be clean and fun for a point break. Expect crowds at Tuckers though, as it’s a spot that *sometimes* gets busy.
Then, Tuesday morning, September 1st, holds a little more of that clean energy. Swell is 4ft from the SE, period 10 seconds, with glassy winds and a combined energy of 266 (moderate). It’s a good option if you missed Monday afternoon.
After that, it’s a long, long dry spell. From Tuesday afternoon, September 1st, all the way through to the end of the 16-day window, the reports are all “poor surf conditions.” Winds get strong, cross-shore, and messy. Even when the swell bumps up to 8ft on Tuesday, September 8th, it’s combined with strong cross-shore wind and a messy chop – that’s a kite surfer’s setup, not a paddle surfer’s. The energy is very strong (1210), but the quality is just not there for us.
So, there you have it. One clear winner: Monday afternoon, August 31st, and a decent backup on Tuesday morning, September 1st. After that, you’re waiting for a miracle. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, it’s a lean run.
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.
