The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break it down in feet and miles per hour.
This is a grim forecast for Tuckers. This point break is used to getting some decent waves, but for the next 16 days, it's mostly a no-go. The wind is the main villain, howling out of the southwest for days, just ruining any chance of clean surf. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year.
The first real chance to even think about it is not a good one. From Sunday the 26th of July, right through the end of the month, it's all poor. The swell is tiny, barely 2 feet, and the wind is a strong cross-onshore mess. The wave energy is weak, barely registering above 100, which is a bad sign for a point break.
We get a clean-up on the 2nd of August. The wind turns gentle onshore from the SSE, but the swell is still only 2 feet from the southeast. The energy is low (49), and the period is short at 8 seconds. It's clean, but there's nothing to surf.
The following days are a slow grind. The 5th of August morning looks clean with a gentle cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is still a pathetic 2 feet. You'd be paddling around for a long time to catch a knee-high ripple.
The only real bump in the whole forecast comes on the 6th of August. The swell lifts to a waist-high 4 feet from the SSE. The combined energy finally gets to 165 (moderate), but the period is a weak 6 seconds. The wind is a moderate cross-shore, which is a step up, but it still creates some chop. This is the best on offer, which is saying a lot.
From the 7th of August, it's all downhill. The swell drops back to 2 feet or less, the energy is gone, and the wind goes light and clean. It's glassy, but there's nothing to ride.
So, the bottom line: there are no real standouts here. The 6th of August is your best bet, but it's a short-period, choppy wave. For a point break that needs a proper groundswell to work, this is a long, flat spell. On those windy days, the conditions look better for a kite than a surfboard.
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.
