The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's on the cards for your local stretch.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a flat spell to push through. The first week or so is stuffed with poor surf and onshore winds, nothing to get excited about. That water temp is sitting at a real toasty 85°, which is a couple degrees warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’ll feel like a bath out there, but the waves just aren't there yet.
Hang in there, because the real action starts to fire up around Monday, September 7th. That morning, Tuckers gets a solid pulse of 4ft groundswell out of the SSE with a long 12-second period. The combined energy is pumping at 469 (moderate), and with a gentle offshore breeze from the north, it’s going to be glassy and clean. This is the standout of the whole window. The swell direction is spot-on for Tuckers, and it’s looking well-shaped for a point break, with longer gaps between sets making the paddle out easier.
Monday afternoon holds in at 4ft from the SSE, still clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy stays strong at 437. This is your best bet – a proper, well-ordered surf.
Tuesday the 8th still has some size, 5ft from the SSE, but the wind swings cross-shore, and the quality drops off a bit. It’s surfable, but not the same magic.
Then, around Thursday, September 10th is another real highlight. We get a 6ft swell from the NE, and the wind goes glassy – dead calm in the morning. The energy is strong at 601. That is prime, clean, powerful surf for experienced surfers, as it's pushing into the intermediate/expert territory.
Friday the 11th still has some nice 4ft swell left, but nothing beats that Monday and Thursday combo. After that, the swell fades out pretty quickly, dropping back to tiny, poor surf by the weekend.
So, to wrap it up: the first few days are a write-off. Get your fix on Monday, September 7th for the cleanest, most consistent session, and if you want something a bit bigger and glassy, Thursday the 10th is your call.
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.
