The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty checkin' in from Tuckers. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are lookin' grim. We've got a long, dry spell ahead for this point break.
The problem is a total lack of swell. For the first week, from now right through the middle of August, we're starin' at tiny, weak energy with nothing over 1 ft. The combined swell energy barely hits double digits at best (42). It's flat, plain and simple. The wind is clean offshore for the first few days, but there's not a wave to ride. You'd be paddling on a millpond.
We finally see a pulse of life around the 17th of August. It's still rubbish – surfable but very ordinary, as the notes say. By the 18th and 19th, the swell does pick up a bit more (4 ft to 4 ft) and the energy gets into the moderate range (328 to 318), but the wind is straight onshore. That's a mess.
If you're desperate, your one and only window is Thursday the 20th of August. I’m talkin' about the morning session. The wind goes glassy – dead calm – and we get a 4 ft SSE swell. It's not huge, but man, that glassy surface will make it feel like a million bucks. The combined energy is decent at 322. That afternoon also looks good with a clean 5 ft SE swell and offshore wind. For any other decent surf in this stretch, you're lookin' at the 23rd, which gets glassy again but the swell is already dropping back to nothing.
So here’s the call: the first week is a write-off. The second week has a tease of energy but mostly blown-out. Thursday the 20th morning at Tuckers is your standout. Get out there when it’s glassy and you'll score the best of a bad run.
Stay patient,
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.
