Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough stretch for surf at Tuckers. The whole 16-day window is basically flat and messy. There’s not a single standout session in the mix, so we’re looking at a long dry spell.
The forecast kicks off Saturday, 4th July, with tiny 2ft SE swell and a period of 9 seconds – not enough to get excited about. The water temp is about average for this time of year, but honestly, you’ll barely get wet. The combined swell energy is weak (71), and the wind is glassy in the morning, which is the only bright spot. By afternoon, the wind swings cross-off and surf drops to 2ft. Sunday and Monday stay similar with 1ft to 2ft SE swell, light to moderate cross-off or cross winds, but the surf is just too small and weak – all scoring a zero for quality.
Things don’t improve. From Tuesday 7th July through to the end of the second week, the swell stays tiny – mostly 1ft to 2ft from the SE, with periods of 8-10 seconds. The combined energy creeps up a little midweek, hitting 122 on Tuesday afternoon (moderate energy) but the wind is cross-on or gusty cross-shore, making it choppy and bumpy. There are a few risk of thunderstorms days, especially around Thursday 9th and Sunday 12th, with fresh cross-winds up to 18-22 mph. That’s not surfable – that’s just unpleasant.
On Thursday 16th July, there is a brief pulse of 5ft SW swell with a short 6-second period and combined energy of 198, but the wind is light cross-on and the period is junk. That’s more of a windswell mess than something you want to paddle into. Friday 17th and Saturday 18th offer similar short-period swells with onshore or cross-winds – not worth the drive.
For a point break like Tuckers, which likes a good ESE swell and some decent period, this forecast offers next to nothing. The only half-decent window might be Monday 6th afternoon, when the combined energy nudges to 82 and the wind eases to cross-off – but even then, with 2ft and 9-second period, it’s just ordinary conditions at best. All the other days are poor.
If you’re a kite surfer, the stronger cross-winds later in the window might be more interesting than the waves. For a surfer, there’s nothing to recommend. We’ll just have to wait for a better set of charts.
Stay tuned, 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.
