The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what Tuckers has to offer over the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – this is a rough run for Tuckers. For the first week, from Saturday the 22nd right through to the end of the following Friday, it’s basically a write-off. We’re looking at a solid 7-day gap with nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, barely cracking 2 ft, and the wind is just all wrong – cross-on, onshore, or cross-shore garbage. You’ll see a few pockets of glassy conditions on the Wednesday afternoon the 26th and again on the Saturday afternoon the 29th, but the waves are too weak to bother with. Energy’s in the low double digits (90-205) for most of that first week, but the quality just isn't there.
Now, we finally get a glimmer of hope as we roll into the second week. On Monday the 31st of August, the afternoon session is where it’s at. The swell picks up to a clean 3 ft from the SE, with a decent period of 13 seconds, and glassy conditions. That’s a score for a point break like Tuckers. The combined energy hits 324 - moderate, but with that wind, it’s clean. The swell direction (ESE optimum) is a decent match for the SE swell. This is your standout – a true window of quality.
The next day, Tuesday the 1st of September morning, the swell nudges up to 4 ft from the SE, but the wind is onshore, so it’s messy and marginal. Not the one.
The Wednesday morning the 2nd of September is dead flat – calm, glassy, but only 3 ft of weak, short-period stuff. Not worth it.
After that, from Thursday the 3rd of September onward, the wind goes ballistic. We’re talking fresh to strong breezes, cross-off and cross-on, and the swell drops to a pathetic 1-2 ft. The setup is blown out and useless for paddle surfing – honestly, if you’ve got a kite, that might look more interesting, but for a surfboard? No chance.
So here’s the bottom line: the only real highlight is Monday the 31st of August afternoon. Clean, glassy, chest-high SE groundswell at a proper point. Get it while it’s there. Everything else is a wait-and-see.
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.
