The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Tuckers is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of uncooperative conditions with very little to get excited about. The swell is small and the wind is mostly messy, so expect a lot of flat, choppy, or blown-out days.
The first real chance to even get a board wet doesn’t come until Tuesday, July 28th, after a solid ten-day gap of poor surf. The water’s sitting at 81°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
That Tuesday afternoon, July 28th, is the standout of the entire outlook. It’s not pumping, but it’s the best we’ll get. The wind swings around to a light cross-offshore from the WNW, cleaning things up nicely. The swell is a tiny 3ft from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (148). It’s surfable, but you’ll be working for it. It’s a point break, and the optimum swell direction is ESE, so the angle is right. The crowds are described as “sometimes,” so you might get a few others out there, but with conditions this ordinary, it’ll be quiet.
The following day, Wednesday, July 29th, the afternoon offers a tiny glimmer – a 3ft wave from the E with a light cross-offshore wind from the W. It’s clean, but the energy is very weak (110). This is truly a last-resort session.
Honestly, for the rest of the period, we’ve got persistent onshore or cross-onshore winds and messy, low-energy surf. The swell does bump up a bit, but the wind stays bad, making it a write-off for decent waves. Unless you’re desperate for a paddle, I’d wait for the forecasts to change.
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.
