The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you on this one. Looking at the next 16 days, it's a tough stretch for Tuckers. The wave energy is just not there, and the swell direction is coming from the ESE and SE, which is the optimum for the spot, but the size and power are way too weak to get the point working properly.
The first real chance of anything that might be worth paddling out for is on Tuesday, September 8th. The morning shows a small 2ft swell from the SE at 9 seconds, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NW. The energy is still low (77), but it's cleaner than anything else. The afternoon is actually the standout moment of the entire 16-day period. The wind swings to a glassy calm out of the NW at 3 mph, with that same 2ft SE swell. The sea surface will be flat, clean, and glassy. The combined energy bumps up to a moderate 109. It's not going to be big, but for a small wave log or a longboard, it will be the cleanest, most user-friendly surf on offer. The water is sitting at 85°, which is a notable 4° warmer than normal for this time of year, so you'll be swimming in a warm bath.
The next day, Wednesday the 9th, gets blown out by strong WSW winds, so that window is short. After that, the swell drops back into the 2ft to 2ft range with weak energy, barely registering. The finder shows a few more "surfable" but ordinary days, like on Monday, September 14th, when a 3ft swell from the south with a short 5-second period shows up in the afternoon. The wind is glassy, but that period is so short it's like being in a washing machine, and the energy is weak (86). It's a novelty wave at best.
The rest of the second week into the 16th of September is the same story: tiny, weak, and mostly poor. There's a blip on the 16th afternoon with a 1ft, 13-second period swell from the ESE, but it's cross-onshore and choppy. The long period (13 seconds) would normally mean some shape, but with that size and onshore wind, it's a write-off. Honestly, this is a long stretch of flat-to-poor conditions. The consistent lack of size and power makes this a tough period for Tuckers. The only true standout is that Tuesday afternoon glass-off on the 8th. Don't get your hopes up for the rest of it.
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.
