The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be real, I've looked at the charts for the next couple of weeks and it's a tough one for us here. For the next 16 days, from now through to the 1st of August, the ocean is just not cooperating. There’s nothing on the table that qualifies as a solid surf session. We're looking at a long stretch of poor conditions.
The first recommendation doesn't even come up until later, and even then, it's not good. The whole period is dominated by tiny, weak swell and ugly wind. For example, on Friday the 17th, we’ve got a tiny 1.3ft swell from the ENE with a weak period of 8 seconds, and a cross-onshore wind making a mess of things. The combined energy is a pathetic 44, which is barely a ripple. It’s the same story day after day – small, weak, and choppy.
Things try to pick up a little around Wednesday the 22nd, with the swell height creeping up to 3.3ft, but the wind is still blowing cross-onshore from the SE, keeping it messy. The energy is still weak, only hitting 111. Then on Thursday the 23rd, the swell gets a bit bigger, up to 6.2ft from the ESE, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 657, which is a decent amount of power, but it’s all still ruined by the wind. The forecast shows a risk of thunderstorms and a fresh cross-shore breeze up to 18.6 mph, leaving it lumpy and unrideable for a surfer. The water temperature is 81.1°F, which is about average for the time of year.
The best looking swell comes on the morning of Thursday the 23rd, with a 6.2ft, 10-second ESE swell, but the wind is just not our friend. It's a mess. After that, the swell fades back down to nothing, with readings of 1.3ft and 1.0ft for days on end. The winds just get stronger, with gusts up to 28 mph on Friday the 31st of July, making it completely un-surfable. This is a real bummer. For a spot like Tuckers, a point break that needs a clean ESE swell and offshore wind, we’re getting everything wrong. Don't even bother paddling out; it's a kite-surfing setup more than a paddling one right now. The crowd factor is a non-issue because nobody should be out there.

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.
