The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s shaping up for Tuckers.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’ve got a long, long dry spell before anything worth paddling out for shows up. For the next week and a half, from now through the 29th of August, the waves are just too small and weak to get excited about. We're looking at tiny 1.5 to 2ft swells with combined energy mostly in the weak range – not enough push to do much of anything. The wind is almost always a cross-onshore breeze, keeping the surface choppy and messy. It’s a proper blank run for Tuckers, and with the break listed as "fairly consistent," it’s one of those frustrating periods where it just tends to stay poor for a bit.
The only glimmer of hope, and it’s a distant one, shows up on the morning of Monday, September 1st. A pulse of longer-period swell from the SE, around 4ft, rolls in with moderate wave energy. The wind will be onshore, so it’s not going to be perfect, but at least there’ll be some size to work with. That’s your best bet, but given it’s so far out, treat it as a promising maybe rather than a sure thing.
No standouts to call here. We just have to wait it out.

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.
