The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it.
First up, I’ve gotta be straight with you — the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle session. We’ve got one spot on the radar, Tuckers, a point break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the swell. But honestly, the numbers aren’t pretty. The water’s sitting at 82°F which is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
We kick off on Friday, August 7th, with a tiny 3ft SE swell and a short period of 7 seconds. The wind is light offshore from the north, so it’s clean, but the wave energy is weak (93). It’s surfable but very ordinary — you’ll be fighting for scraps. That afternoon drops even smaller to 2ft and the energy fades to 67. Not worth getting wet for.
Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are even worse. We’re down to 1ft NE and SE swells, period around 8-9 seconds, and the energy is in the 30s and 40s. Wind is offshore, so it’s clean, but there’s just nothing to ride. The whole week after that is a write-off — Monday the 10th through to Sunday the 16th of August, the swell stays tiny at 1ft to 2ft, and the wind turns cross or cross-off, then goes strong cross-shore with messy chop. We’ve got some stormy conditions mid-week, with winds hitting 25-28 mph. That’s kite-surfing weather, not paddle surfing. The energy does bump up to 109 on the 16th afternoon, but with a fresh cross-shore and lumpy chop, it’s just not fun.
The second week doesn’t get much better. Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th have a bit more energy showing — on the 18th morning we see 3ft SE swell with a period of 12 seconds and energy jumping to 194 (moderate energy). That’s a groundswell, but it’s coming with a fresh cross-shore and messy conditions. For a point break like Tuckers, that longer period could shape up if the wind cooperates, but it doesn’t. Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th are still small and cross-off, with energy dropping back to the 60s.
Finally, we get a flicker of hope on Friday the 21st of August. The morning shows clean 2ft SE swell, light offshore from the NNW, and energy of 44. Still tiny. But the afternoon — 1ft SE swell, period 13 seconds, energy 87, and a slight offshore breeze. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Saturday the 22nd of August is probably the best of a bad bunch: 2ft SE swell, period 12 seconds, energy up to 103 (moderate), and light offshore to cross-off winds. Clean, but the swell is small. For a point break, that long period groundswell might wrap in and give you a few lined-up runners, but you’ll be waiting between sets.
So, if you’re desperate, the standout is Saturday the 22nd of August, morning session at Tuckers. It’s clean, the swell direction (SE) is close to optimum (ESE), and the energy is moderate. But it’s small, and crowds are possible here. It’s not the sort of day that’ll blow your mind — more of a “get the cobwebs out” session.
Bottom line: this 16-day window is mostly a bust. A blank run like this isn’t unusual for the area, but it tends not to stay poor for long. Forecasts can change — keep an eye on it.

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.
