The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on offer here. To be honest, it’s a pretty quiet stretch for the most part. We’ve got Tuckers (Tuckers) as our only spot in the mix, and it’s a point break that needs a solid ESE swell to really wake up. For the first week and a half, it’s all small, weak, and choppy. The best we see is some clean, glassy conditions on the morning of Saturday the 19th of September, with a tiny 2ft ESE swell and a period around 9 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 88. It’s surfable but ordinary, so don’t get too excited. The water temperature is 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Then we get a real shift around Tuesday the 22nd of September. Overnight, the swell jumps up to 8ft from the NE, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy spikes to 740 (moderate). But here’s the catch – the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and it stays messy and lumpy for days. The size keeps building, up to 10ft on the 24th, with energy hitting 1035 (strong), but the wind is a fresh cross-shore or cross-onshore, making it a lumpy, choppy mess. This is not paddle-surfing friendly – it’s more of a kite-surfing setup.
The best chance for a decent wave comes on Saturday the 26th of September. The swell drops back to 7ft from the ENE, period at 10 seconds, and the combined energy is still strong at 814. The wind goes light cross-offshore, so it should be clean. That’s a good size for intermediate-plus surfers, but at 7ft, beginners will find it a handful. The long period and ENE direction should work nicely on this point break, with good shape and set gaps. Crowds are possible, so pick your peak.
Beyond that, into Sunday the 27th and Monday the 28th, the swell hangs around 7ft but the wind turns onshore and strong, so it gets messy again. The long-range standouts are promising but less certain – that Saturday the 26th is your best bet in this outlook.

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.
