The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a 16-day look at Tuckers, and I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough one. This is a point break that's exposed to the swell, but the whole forecast window is basically a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. There’s a real gap of good surf here, stretching from now all the way through to the end of the period.
Let’s start with the water. At Tuckers, the water temp is sitting at 81°, which is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The story from the get-go is poor conditions. Monday the 13th kicks off with a risk of thunderstorms, a light 6 mph cross-offshore wind, and a tiny 2ft swell from the SE at 9 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 50, and it's poor. Tuesday doesn't get any better, with a 2ft swell and cross-shore winds. The only tiny flicker of hope comes on Wednesday the 15th afternoon. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, and the swell is 3ft from the ENE with a 6-second period. The combined energy is still weak at 84, and while the comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," it's the only time in the whole run that isn't a total zero. But honestly, that’s a scrap for a longboard on a lake.
The rest of the first week and into the second is a consistent story of small, weak swells, cross-shore and onshore winds, and zero scores. The wind picks up, with fresh breezes and lumpy chop by Saturday the 18th. From the 21st of July onwards, the wind swings onshore from the SSE, and everything stays poor. The swell does start to build slightly towards the end of the period, reaching 4ft from the ESE on the 27th and 28th, with the combined energy jumping into the moderate range (150-176). But it’s all onshore wind, and the conditions are still rated as poor. The swell period is short too, around 7-8 seconds, so it’ll be weak and messy.
For a point break, you need a good direction and clean conditions. The optimum swell direction here is ESE, which does show up late in the window, but the onshore wind kills it. With the combo of small, weak swell and persistent onshore wind, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s just nothing to get excited about for a surfer.
It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s just how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, but right now, I wouldn’t bother waxing the board.
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.
Tuckerman's is 3 km (2 miles) from Newport. If you plan a vacation in Rhode Island, look for hotels and other accommodation in Newport. Newport has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
