The Lowdown
Alright, let me be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one. I’ve looked at the numbers for Tuckers, and frankly, there’s nothing worth paddling out for in the next 16 days. From now (July 20) all the way through to August 4, every single session is flagged as poor surf. No exceptions. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, keeping things messy. The combined wave energy never gets above 331 (moderate for a moment on July 24 afternoon), but even then the wind and short period ruin it. For a point break that’s usually fairly consistent, this is a real bummer. But hey, it’s a solid spot – it doesn’t stay this flat for long, and forecasts can always change. Keep an eye on it, but for now, leave the boards at home.
The only glimmer? On Saturday morning, August 1, the wind goes glassy – but the swell is just 1ft from the SE with a 9-second period. That’s barely a ripple. The afternoon brings a weird 12-second NE swell, but still only 1ft and cross-on wind. Not worth the drive.
So, Rusty’s call: save your energy for another week. The ocean will come back.

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.
