The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be real. This is a bleak stretch for Tuckers. For the next week and a half, we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel—nothing but tiny, weak surf that’ll have you checking your watch more than your wave count. The water’s around 84°, which is a touch warmer than usual, but that’s the only highlight for a while.
The first sign of life doesn’t come until Tuesday the 29th and Wednesday the 30th. That’s when the swell finally shows up, but don’t get too excited—we’re still only talking about clean, small waves in the 2ft range. The swell direction shifts to the southeast, which is the go-to for this break, and there’s some real energy behind it. The combined energy jumps to 242 on Tuesday morning, then spikes hard to 318 by Wednesday afternoon when a longer-period northeast swell rolls in. That long-period stuff can be a bit funny at a point, but it should still give you some fun, rippable little walls. Winds are light, mostly cross-offshore, and Tuesday afternoon turns glassy. It won’t be perfect, but it’ll be the cleanest rideable surf in the whole forecast.
Before that? It’s a desert. Nine days of knee-high slop—0.3m to 0.5m—most of it poor. There’s a bump of bigger swell around the 24th and 25th, but it’s messy, with onshore and cross-onshore winds making it choppy and horrible. That’s not for paddling, that’s kite-surfing weather. You’ll see a lot of chop and moderate breeze. Just skip those days.
When that good window hits on Tuesday and Wednesday, that’s your call to action. Tuesday morning is the pick, or wait for that glassy afternoon. Wednesday has a little more push but a bit more breeze. Just don’t expect much more than waist-high perfection. It’s clean, but it’s small.
So, keep your eyes on the 29th and 30th. The rest of the time, you’re better off daydreaming.

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.
