The Lowdown
Hey crew, Rusty here. Let's break down what's happening at Tuckers over the next couple of weeks.
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it – the first week and a half is a total bust. From now through the 12th of August, we've got a long stretch of poor conditions with barely any swell. We're looking at waves from 1ft to 3ft, but with combined energy mostly in the 30s and 40s, it's weak and puny. There's some offshore wind around the 8th and 9th, but with waves that small, it's not worth getting wet for.
Things get a little more interesting starting Thursday the 13th of August. We see a bump to 4ft from the SW, but it's got a short, crumbly 5-second period and a fresh cross-shore wind making a mess of things. The combined energy hits 113 (moderate). It's lumpy and rough. Thursday the 14th is similar, with 5ft SW swell, still a short 6-second period and lumpy cross-shore wind (combined energy 182). Honestly, with that wind and short period, this looks more like a kite-surfing day than a good paddle session.
Now, here's the one to keep an eye on. It's a long way out, so mark the date. On Thursday the 20th of August, we get a spike in the afternoon: a 6ft swell from the NNE, with a combined energy of 374. The wind is a fresh cross-offshore from the NNE, so it should be reasonably clean. This is the biggest swell of the whole outlook, but at 6ft, it's pushing into expert territory. Then into Friday the 21st of August, we’ve got solid 4ft NNE swell holding, with combined energy from 268 to 357 and that same clean cross-offshore breeze. The period is a short 8 to 9 seconds, so it won't be a long-period groundswell, but it's the most energy we've seen in two weeks. This is your window.
Water temp at Tuckers is 82°F, which is pretty average for this time of year.
So, to wrap it up: a long flat spell until the 13th, some lumpy, short-period wind swell mid-week, and then a decent pulse on the 20th and 21st of August that could offer some fun, clean waves. It's a long-range call, so don't get your hopes up too high, but it's the best thing on the board right now.
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.
