Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tuckers over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at what's on the cards for our stretch of coast. Straight up, it's a tough read. We're looking at a long, hard slog with barely a ripple for most of the next two and a half weeks. Don't get your hopes up just yet.
We'll start with Tuckers (Tuckers). The water temp is sitting at about 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's one small win. But the surf... man, it's a desert. From Wednesday the 8th right through until the morning of Monday the 14th of July, it's a complete write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 2ft from the SE, with short, weak periods of 9 to 10 seconds, and the combined swell energy barely cracks triple digits (100 or less). The wind is mostly a fresh cross-off or cross-shore, but there's just no power in the water to make anything of it. That's nearly a week of nothing.
Then, out of nowhere, we get a little spike on Tuesday the 14th of July. The swell pushes up to 5ft from the NNE, but the period drops to a rubbish 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 258 (moderate), but a short-period windswell like that is just messy. The wind is a moderate cross-off, so it'll be clean, but the quality of the wave is going to be poor. This one's a real "maybe" at best – marginal surf with questionable tides. Not worth a special trip. After that, from Wednesday the 15th right the way through to the end of the forecast on Thursday the 23rd of July, it’s back to tiny, weak, and mostly onshore slop. The swell barely gets above 2ft, with periods of 4 to 8 seconds, and the combined energy stays below 100. The wind turns cross-on or onshore for most of it, making it choppy and lumpy.
So, the long and short of it: there is no standout, no day to circle on the calendar. The only faint glimmer is that Tuesday the 14th, but even that's a stretch. We're in for a solid stretch of flat or near-flat conditions. Hold tight, forecasts can change, but right now, it's a waiting game.
Stay patient,
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.
Tuckerman's is 3 km (2 miles) from Newport. If you plan a vacation in Rhode Island, look for hotels and other accommodation in Newport. Newport has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
