The Lowdown

Alright, surfers. Rusty here.

Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks around Tuckers are going to be a real test of patience. We’re looking at a long, dry spell of small, weak surf and messy winds for the first week and a half, before a pulse of energy finally shows up in the second week.

Starting from this Sunday the 9th of August, it’s basically flat. We’re talking tiny 1ft swell from the northeast, then shuffling southeast, with periods under 10 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 43, barely a ripple. Conditions are clean on Sunday morning with glassy winds, but there’s just nothing to ride. This quiet stretch will carry right through the week.

Monday through Saturday sees the swell sitting around 1ft to 2ft, weak energy between 29 and 86. The winds turn cross-shore and get fresh to strong, making it choppy and messy. It’s flat, blown out, and honestly, not worth a second look. You’d be better off kiting if you’re that desperate.

There is a glimmer. Come Tuesday the 18th of August, things start to change. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the southeast, period jumps to 12 seconds, and the combined energy kicks up to 377 – moderate energy finally. It stays cross-onshore that morning, a bit choppy, but it's the first real sign of life. By Tuesday afternoon, we're at 4ft, still from the southeast, with a long 12-second period. Energy climbs to 510. The wind drops light, and conditions become light cross-onshore with small wind ripples. This is your window. It’s marginal, and the quality isn’t stellar, but it’s the biggest and most powerful swell of the whole outlook. For a point break like Tuckers, that longer period will help shape things up.

After that, the swell fades again through the rest of the week. Thursday the 20th drops back to around 3ft, with onshore winds picking back up.

So, the one and only standout here is Tuesday the 18th of August. Aim for the afternoon at Tuckers. You’re looking at a 4ft southeast swell, a 12-second period, and enough energy (510) to make it interesting. Don't expect perfection, but it's the only call in a pretty bleak window.

Stay diligent, because it tends not to stay this poor for long.

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.
