The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna level with you. Right now, and for the next week and a half, it’s pretty grim. The surf is small, weak, and the wind is just a mess. We’ve got nothing worth paddling out for until nearly the end of the month. That’s a long, flat stretch.
We’re looking at Tuckers, a point break. The water temperature is sitting around 80°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year – nothing weird there.
The first faint glimmer of hope shows up on Sunday the 26th of July. That afternoon, we see a 5ft swell coming from the ESE, with a period of 7 seconds. The wind goes cross-off from the NE at 12 mph, and the wave comment finally says “clean.” The energy is moderate (220). It’s not a world-beater, but it’s the only window we get where the wind is working with the wave instead of against it. For a point break, that cross-off breeze should keep the surface smooth. With crowds listed as “sometimes,” you might have a few others out, but it won’t be a zoo.
The swell direction from the ESE isn’t a perfect match for this spot’s optimum from the ESE, so it’s close enough. The period is short, so the waves will be a bit weak and crumbly, but it’s rideable. It’s the best we’ve got in the whole 16 days, and honestly, it’s just a “maybe” session.
Before that, from the 14th of July through to the 25th, it’s all “poor surf conditions.” Swell is tiny – mostly under 3ft – and the wind is either a shaky cross, cross-on, or strong onshore. The energy is very low, mostly in the double digits or low hundreds. On the 22nd and 23rd, the swell bumps up to 6ft with a fresh onshore wind, but with a period of only 8 seconds and the wind howling straight on at 19 mph, it’s going to be a choppy, blown-out mess. That’s not a surf day; that’s a day to stay on the beach.
After the 26th, it drops back off again. The 27th and 28th show small, weak swells and cross-shore or cross-on winds. Nothing to get excited about.
So, bottom line: If you’re desperate, keep an eye on that Sunday the 26th of July afternoon. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off. It’s a tough run.

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.
