The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough run for Tuckers. The whole 16-day window looks pretty grim. We’re looking at a solid two-week stretch of poor surf conditions, with only a glimmer of hope right at the very end. The first recommendation I can give you is a long way off, on Wednesday the 29th of July, but before that, it’s a write-off.
For the bulk of the period, from Wednesday the 15th right through to Tuesday the 28th, it’s just not on. The swell is tiny, barely a ripple, and the wind is mostly a messy cross-on or onshore breeze. The combined wave energy is weak, mostly sitting below 100 (60 to 99), and the water temp is about 81°, which is pretty average for the time of year. You’re looking at a lot of choppy, lumpy, cross-shore junk. Honestly, unless you’re a kite surfer looking for a blown-out challenge, there’s nothing for a paddle surfer here.
Now, hang in there. We finally get a little pulse on Wednesday the 29th. The morning is weak, but the afternoon brings a jump in swell. The combined energy climbs to a moderate 228, with a 6 ft swell from the SW. That’s a bit of size, and the period is short at 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit bumpy and disorganised. But the key here is the wind. It’s glassy. That’s right, a light 3 mph breeze from the ENE will give you clean, smooth waves. It’s not a classic, but for the first time in a fortnight, it’s surfable. This is your standout, but it’s a one-day wonder.
The window slams shut again on Thursday the 30th with strong winds and a return to poor conditions. So, if you want a paddle, pencil in the 29th of July. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only game in town.
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.
