Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tuckers over the next 16 days.
Right then, let’s have a look at what we’ve got for Tuckers over the next couple of weeks. It’s a point break, exposed to that ESE swell direction, so it’s got a bit of potential when things line up. Honestly though, the outlook is pretty bleak for a long stretch. There’s a small window early on that’s worth a mention, but after that, we’re looking at a proper dry spell until the end of the month.
We kick off with Monday the 13th. The morning’s a write-off with a risk of thunderstorms, a bit of wind from the north, and only 2ft of weak, short-period SE swell (50 energy). Despite the gentle offshore wind cleaning things up, the surf just isn't there to get excited about. Later in the day, things get interesting though. The wind drops to glassy, and we see a bump to 4ft from the NNE with a moderate combined energy of 168. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it won’t have that real punch to it, but the glassy conditions will make it ridable. That’s probably the best you’re going to get for this whole stretch, so if you can get out Monday afternoon, do it. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing special.
Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th keep the swell size at around 4ft from the NE, but the period stays short and the winds are mixed – cross-off at times which is clean, but the wave quality is only ordinary. The energy drops off from 127 on Tuesday morning to 108 on Wednesday morning, so it’s on the decline. It’s surfable, but it’s not going to blow your mind. Crowds are only sometimes an issue here, which is a bonus, but the inconsistent nature of the swell makes it a bit of a gamble.
Then the wheels fall off. From Thursday the 16th right through to Tuesday the 28th, it’s a long, grim stretch of poor surf. Swell sizes drop to 1ft to 2ft with weak energy readings mostly under 100, and the winds are either cross, cross-on, or onshore, creating lumpy or choppy junk. There’s a spike in swell on the 23rd and 24th hitting 5ft from the S and SSW, but the period is a terrible 5-6 seconds and the wind is directly onshore. That’s just a messy, blown-out situation, far from any kind of standout. The combined energy on the 23rd afternoon hits 140, but with those onshore conditions it’s not a surfer’s wave – might be more interesting for a kite session honestly.
The only other little flicker is Monday the 27th afternoon when a 4ft SSW swell with a short 5 second period shows up with 126 energy and cross-shore wind. Again, it’s poor quality and not worth planning around. There is no one or two true standouts in this entire forecast. The Monday afternoon glassy bump is the only real chance to grab a couple of grovelly ones.
It’s a tough run, but it’s that kind of spot – when it’s flat, it’s flat. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out.

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.
