The Lowdown
Alright, surf is gonna be flat and ugly around here for a while. The first real chance of a wave is Tuesday the 18th, but honestly, it’s a long haul to get there. We’re looking at a solid week of nothing but wind and mush before that.
The water’s sitting at a warm 84° right now, which is a bit toastier than normal for this time of year. Nothing crazy, but you’ll notice it.
Tuckers
Honestly, mate, the next week is a write-off. Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th are tiny with a weak 1ft swell (combined energy in the 40s) and the winds are all over the place. Tuesday the 11th the wind picks up and it just gets messy. We see a bit of a pulse Wednesday the 12th with a 4ft swell, but it’s short-period (5 seconds) and blown out with a 25 mph cross-shore. That’s just a washing machine. Not worth your time.
The first sliver of hope arrives Sunday the 16th. The wind finally goes offshore (NNW) and it’s clean, but the swell is still weak at 2ft (energy in the high 80s). It’s surfable, but incredibly ordinary. A real “if you’re desperate” kind of session.
Then things get interesting. Monday the 17th, the swell energy just explodes. We see combined energy jump to 261, then 402 by the afternoon, but the swell direction is from the ESE, which is cross-onshore here. It’s got some size building, but it’s gonna be a choppy, textured mess. That’s not what we want.
The standout window is Tuesday the 18th. The morning is your best bet. We get a solid 5ft swell from the SE with a 12-second period, and the energy is pumping at 632. The wind is light and cross-shore, which is manageable. It’s gonna be a proper push of swell, with some real power behind it. This is the one. It’s pushing 5ft, so it’s not for the groms, but for anyone with a bit of experience, it could be firing. The afternoon gets a bit windier and cross-onshore, so get out there early.
After that, the swell backs off again. The energy stays moderate through the 19th and 20th, but the wind stays on it and the quality drops right back off. By the 21st and into the 24th, we’re back to small, weak, and onshore slop. The long-range outlook is a bit bleak, to be honest. Promising, but that Tuesday is the only real highlight.

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.
