The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you. This is a tough one to call. The overall pattern for the next 16 days at Tuckers is a real struggle. We’ve got a solid run of poor surf conditions and hardly any windows that are worth paddling out for. The first real gap in the action lasts from now all the way through to the first week of August. There's just nothing doing.
The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is about what you'd expect for this time of year – no real surprises there.
The first and only real glimmer of hope comes right at the very end of the forecast. On Wednesday afternoon, the 5th of August, we finally get a break in the weather. The wind is set to go glassy, which is a beautiful thing. We’re looking at a tiny 2 ft swell coming from the ENE, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined wave energy of only 76 (weak). It’s not going to be a world-beater, but for a spot that's been hammered by onshores, that glassy wind will make it look like a completely different break. The conditions will be surfable, but very ordinary.
On the morning of the 3rd of August, we see a 2 ft swell from the ESE with a period of 6 seconds and energy of 48 (weak). The wind is onshore, but light at 15 km/h. It's nothing to get excited about, but it's a small step up from the dominant wind.
Honestly, for the entire 16-day run, the only standout is that glassy afternoon on the 5th of August. If you’re a patient soul, that’s your moment. Everything else is a write-off. The onshore winds are just relentless, with cross-on and onshore conditions and moderate to strong breezes consistently messing up the surface. The swell energy does bump up to moderate levels (257 and 264) around the 24th and 25th of July, with heights around 5 ft, but the wind is terrible, making it a total mess. That short period of 7 or 8 seconds just adds to the chop. It’s not a good look for paddle surfing.
I'd say keep your expectations low for this one. It’s a long dry spell, but that’s just how it goes sometimes.
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.
