The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got the long-range outlook for Tuckers. Let me tell you, it’s a real mixed bag of pain and a little bit of promise.
Right now, the start of this forecast is a write-off. We’re looking at a solid week of absolute rubbish. From Tuesday the 28th of July all the way through to the morning of Sunday the 9th of August, there’s just nothing on offer. The wind is howling, mostly cross-onshore, and the swell is either tiny or blown-out junk. The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is about average for the time of year, so you can’t even blame the cold for the lack of waves.
The first real glimmer of hope arrives on the morning of Sunday the 9th of August. Tuckers finally gets a pulse of SSW swell at 7ft, with a period of 10 seconds. That’s some solid, chunky groundswell energy, and the combined energy is a strong 988. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the WNW, so the surf will be clean. Still, it’s a bit of a beast at that size—over 8ft, so this is strictly for the experienced crew. This is the best of the whole run, but with the break being a point that can handle that direction, it’s a stand-out session for the experts. The swell drops off by the afternoon to 6ft, still decent, but that morning is the one to circle.
After that, it’s back to the struggle. Monday and Tuesday of the 10th and 11th see a drop in quality, with messy cross-shore winds and weaker energy, though Tuesday the 11th does see a moderate 138 to 173 energy from NNE swell, but the wind is lumpy. The rest of the run into the 12th of August stays small and average, with nothing to get excited about.
So, the takeaway: the whole first week is a no-go. The only real standout is the morning of the 9th of August at Tuckers, but you’ll need to be on your game. Keep your eyes on the forecasts, but for now, give it a miss until that Sunday.
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.
