Tuckers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your board and listen up. It’s Rusty here. Fair warning: this outlook for Tuckers (Bermuda) is a tough one to write. We've got a long dry spell ahead, so don't get your hopes up too early.

Looking at the whole 16-day window, the pattern is pretty grim. We've got a solid week-and-a-half of tiny swell and messy wind, with only a couple of fleeting moments that might be worth a paddle. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is just about average for the time of year, so at least you won't be freezing while you're sitting out there waiting for a wave that isn't coming.

The first real chance to get wet doesn't show up until Monday, July 14th. We start that morning with a bit of a shift. The swell will be coming from the S with a short, weak period of 5 seconds and a height of about 4 ft. The combined wave energy is moderate, hitting 104. The real story here is the wind: it's offshore from the NNW at 9 mph, which will keep the surface clean. The quality is still pretty ordinary—it's short-period slop—but it's the best we've seen in over a week. The afternoon eases off a bit, with the swell dropping to 4 ft and the wind turning light cross-offshore.

After that, it's pretty much back to the waiting game. The swell fades fast, the wind swings around, and the waves are tiny again. The conditions stay clean for a few days after the 14th, but there's just no size or power to work with.

Honestly, if you're desperate for a paddle, the only standout in this whole period is the morning of Tuesday, July 15th. It's not a standout by any stretch of the imagination, but it's the only time we have clean, ridable waves. It is what it is. If you have a longboard and low expectations, you'll have the place to yourself.

For the rest of the time, the surf is either too small, too choppy, or both. This is a pretty typical blank run for this area when the conditions don't line up.

Stay patient, and keep an eye on the forecast. Things can always change.

Rusty.
