The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's be real: this 16-day outlook for Tuckers is a rough one. The swell is coming from the right direction, but the wind is the enemy. We're looking at a long stretch of strong cross-onshore winds that will keep the ocean blown out and messy. The combined wave energy is mostly weak to moderate, with the biggest numbers hitting around 458 (strong) on the 28th, but that's tied to a messy, short-period swell that's just not user-friendly.
You're going to have to wait. There's nothing worth paddling out for until the 7th of August. That's a full week and a half of staring at chop. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing special.
Let's talk about the only two days that might offer a glimmer of hope. On the 7th of August, Friday afternoon, we finally see the wind swing to a cross-offshore direction for the first time. The swell is tiny, about 2ft from the ESE with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 31. The wind is a fresh breeze at 18 mph, but it's clean. It's small, but it will be the cleanest wave we've seen in weeks.
Then, on the 8th of August, Saturday morning, the wind drops right off to a light breeze at 6 mph, with some clouds. The swell is even smaller, around 1ft from the ESE. The combined energy is a barely-there 22. It's really small, but you'll have a chance to get wet in clean, glassy conditions. The afternoon is similar, with a light cross-shore wind.
The standout? There's no classic standout here. The best of a bad bunch is the 8th of August. The conditions will be glassy and clean, which is a rare treat in this forecast. You'll be hunting for ankle-slappers, but it's the only time the ocean looks like it wants to cooperate. Tuckers is a point break that's fairly consistent, but it's not going to be breaking well with this tiny, short-period stuff. The crowds are listed as "sometimes", so with no real waves, it'll be quiet.
For the rest of the time, the setup is more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers, with strong cross-onshore winds and messy, lumpy conditions.
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.
