Tuckers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. The forecast is showing a real dry spell with no solid surf opportunities on the horizon. The first recommendation doesn't come up until the 31st of July, and even then, it's a struggle.

We're looking at Tuckers, a point break that's usually fairly consistent, but it's just not getting the love it needs. The swell is coming in from the SE, around 2ft, with a short, weak period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 86, so there's just no power in the water. The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is about normal for this time of year, but you won't be caring about that when you're battling that 18 mph cross-onshore wind. It's lumpy, choppy, and just plain messy. The whole outlook has a "poor surf conditions" tag on every single session, which tells you everything you need to know.

As we move through the first week of August, the swell picks up a touch – we see heights around 4ft to 4ft and the combined energy gets into the moderate range, hitting 225 on the 5th of August. But the wind stays stubbornly cross-onshore from the ESE, and the period is still a short, junky 6 to 7 seconds. A bit of size, but no shape. It's a real kite-surfing setup, not one for a paddle surfer.

Towards the second week, from the 7th of August onward, the swell drops right off. We're looking at ankle-slappers of 1ft to 2ft from the NE, with a slightly longer period of 9 to 10 seconds. The wind does ease up to a light breeze, but with that tiny swell and cross-onshore direction, it's barely a ripple. The energy drops back to weak numbers, like 56 on the 9th of August.

Over the last few days of the outlook, the wind swings around to the SW and picks up again, bringing back the lumpy, crossed-up conditions. The swell stays tiny, around 1ft to 2ft.

Honestly, there's not a single standout session here. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent waves. It's one of those periods where the forecast is just blank, and for this area, that's not unusual. Keep your eye on it, things can change, but for now, don't bother waxing up.

Rusty.
