The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight about it – this outlook for Tuckers is a tough one. We've got a classic point break setup, exposed to that ESE swell window, but the whole 16-day run is looking pretty grim. There are no standout days, no real reason to get excited. We're looking at a long, quiet spell ahead.
We kick off this Saturday, the 12th, with a small taste. The water is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year at 84°. We get a clean, glassy morning with a tiny 3ft SE swell, period around 9 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 104. It's surfable, but very ordinary – not enough to get anyone but the most desperate out on a point break.
Then the window pretty much shuts. From Sunday the 13th all the way through to Friday the 25th, it's a wasteland. Conditions are constantly poor, with onshore and cross-onshore winds messing up anything that tries to break. The swell stays small, mostly under 3ft, and the few times it pops up, the wind ruins it. There's a blip on the 22nd and 23rd with a bigger NE swell pushing 6ft to 7ft, but it's short period junk at 7 seconds and the wind is howling onshore. The energy jumps up (353 on the 22nd morning, 558 that afternoon) but for a point break that needs clean conditions, this is a complete write-off. That big, messy, wind-blown stuff is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
The very end of the run, on Saturday the 26th of September, offers a tiny glimmer. The wind goes glassy again, and we have 2ft of SE swell with a period of 8 seconds. It's still weak (155 energy), but it would be clean. Still, after two weeks of nothing, it's a pretty sad consolation prize.
Don't hold your breath. This is a long dry spell for Tuckers.

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.
