The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got coming down the line.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty quiet. We've got a long stretch of small, weak waves coming up, so don't expect any hero sessions just yet. The water is sitting at a warm 84°, which is a touch above the usual for this time of year, so it'll feel nice and tropical, at least.
We're looking at Tuckers for the whole run. The first real chance of anything decent doesn't pop up until Wednesday the 26th. We finally get a pulse of energy with a combined swell energy of around 236 to 330 (moderate energy) pushing in. It's not massive, about 4ft to 4ft of swell coming out of the SE. The real story that morning and afternoon is the glassy conditions with zero wind. That'll make for some clean, smooth lines at the point. The period is a short 8 to 9 seconds though, so it won't have heaps of push, but for a point break like Tuckers, it should be fun and easy to paddle.
The following Tuesday, the 1st of September, also offers a small window of hope. The swell drops back to 3ft from the SE, but we're getting a clean, cross-off wind from the NNE. Combined swell energy sits between 106 and 130 (moderate energy), and the period stretches out to 10 seconds, which is a little better shape-wise. It won't be a standout, but it'll be clean and rideable.
Apart from that, the whole 16-day window is otherwise filled with poor surf or very ordinary conditions with tiny swell. There are a lot of gaps where you won't want to bother. The best bet is definitely the glassy Wednesday run on the 26th of August. For a more long-range look, the 1st of September could be a clean little session if the winds hold.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
