The Lowdown
Alright, let me break down what’s on the cards for our stretch of coast here at Tuckers. It’s a classic point break, fairly consistent, and wants the swell from ESE to really get going. The water temp is sitting pretty normal for August, nothing wild there.
We’ve got a pretty quiet start. Friday the 21st and the weekend are looking slim – small, weak swell, cross-shore winds, and the wave energy is barely breaking 60 (combined energy of all swells directed here 64). It’s not doing much. Then Monday the 24th offers a brief moment of glassy conditions, but the swell is tiny, around 1 ft, and the energy is still low at 61. Hard to get excited.
Tuesday the 25th is a slight step up: a bit more size (2 ft) and some cross-off wind from the WNW, keeping things clean. The energy is still weak (93), but it’s surfable. Just. Wednesday the 26th is where things start to look interesting. The swell picks up to 3 ft from the ESE, period is a workable 8 seconds, and the energy jumps to 243 (moderate wave energy). With glassy conditions in the morning and a risk of thunderstorms in the arvo, the morning is your best bet for something clean. The swell direction is right on the money for Tuckers.
Then we hit a bit of a lull through the end of the month. The 27th to the 31st sees persistent onshore and cross-onshore winds, mostly from the SSE, keeping the surf messy. Swell stays small, energy drops, and it’s a pretty average run. The standout window is the 1st of September. Tuesday brings a solid 4 ft swell from the SE, with a period of 11 seconds, giving it some real punch. The energy is up to 306 (moderate wave energy) and the wind is light and cross-off from the WNW – clean conditions. It’s the best of the whole forecast. The waves will have shape and power, though with that longer period, it might be a bit roly at the point, but it’s still a good session for intermediate and above.
After that, the 2nd and 3rd of September drop off again, with smaller swell and ordinary conditions, finishing off with a weak fade into the 5th.
So, the real standout for the whole 16 days? Tuesday the 1st of September morning. That’s the one to circle. Clean, cross-off winds, a solid 4 ft of SE swell, and moderate energy. It’s a promising window, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on updates.

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.
