Tuckers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Tuckers over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, the first week and a half is a write-off. We’re looking at a long, painful gap from now until the morning of Monday, 13th July, with virtually nothing rideable. You’ll see tiny, weak swells with poor winds and messy conditions day after day - just not worth paddling out for. It’s a tough stretch, so maybe get the gear sorted or find other things to do.

Finally, a pulse shows up on Monday the 13th in the morning at Tuckers – a point break that’s fairly consistent but can get crowds sometimes. The swell jumps to 7 ft from the NNE, with a period of 9 seconds, and combined wave energy is pumping at a solid 698 – that’s a strong, powerful swell for the area. Winds are a light cross-shore from the east, so it’s going to be clean with only a slight cross-chop. The water temp is sitting at 80° with only a minor anomaly, so pretty average for this time of year. This is the standout window, but a word of caution: at 7 ft, this is getting into expert territory, and the period is moderate so the sets will be packed with energy. It’s deep water, but keep your wits about you.

The Monday afternoon (13th) drops back a bit – 6 ft from the NE but with a moderate onshore wind from the south, making conditions rougher.

Tuesday the 14th sees the swell dropping. Morning has 4 ft from the NE with a moderate cross-shore, but the winds are freshening and it’s looking lumpy. The afternoon gets smaller and more onshore – not great.

From Wednesday the 15th, it’s back to tiny, weak conditions with light to moderate winds, and occasional glassy moments on Thursday the 16th morning, but the swell is only 1 ft, so it’s really not enough for a proper session.

Sunday the 19th morning shows a brief spike to 4 ft from the SW, but it’s a short period, messy wind swell, and the wind is a fresh cross-shore causing lump. Not a highlight.

So, to sum it up: Monday, 13th July morning is your one true shot at something decent – a strong, clean, chest-to-overhead swell at Tuckers, but it's for experienced surfers only. After that, it’s back to small and poor again.

Stay patient, and let’s see if the forecasts sharpen up.

Rusty.
