The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, checking in from the coast. Honestly, it's a tough stretch ahead for us. The next 16 days are looking mostly flat and poor, with a real gap in quality surf. We're stuck with weak, short-period windswell that just doesn't have any push or shape. The water temperature is sitting at 81°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit, but you'll still be scratching your head for a wave.
We start off with a run of real dud days. From Sunday the 2nd right through to Thursday the 7th, it's a write-off. The swell is tiny, under 3 ft, with periods barely hitting 7 seconds, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, ruining any chance of a clean face. The combined energy is weak, mostly in the 40s to low 100s, just a sign of how limp the ocean is. There's a brief window on Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th morning where the wind turns light and cross-offshore, so the surface cleans up, but the swell is still pathetic – 3 ft at best, with a period of just 5 to 6 seconds. It's barely surfable, and only for someone dying to get afloat.
Then we hit another dry spell. From Sunday the 9th right through to the end of the forecast on Monday the 17th, it's pretty much all poor surf conditions. The swell stays tiny, rarely above 2 ft, with periods stuck under 9 seconds, and the wind gets stronger, often a fresh 15 to 18 mph breeze from the southwest, creating a lumpy, choppy mess. The combined energy drops right off, often below 70, confirming there's just no power in the water. The only break we've got to watch is Tuckers, a point break that's fairly consistent, but even it can't catch a decent wave in this window. It's a rare time where the forecast is just blank for anything worthwhile.
Look, if you're a kite surfer, the stronger winds from the 12th onward might be more interesting than paddling, but for a surf, I'd say give it a miss. The ocean is flat, the wind is messy, and there's nothing to get excited about. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a long, quiet period. Hang tight.

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.
