The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – the next sixteen days are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. There’s not a single day in the window where I’d say, “Drop everything and go.” The whole period is a write-off for decent surf. We’re looking at a solid two-week stretch of poor conditions.
The only break on the radar is Tuckers, a point break that’s fairly consistent. Usually, that’s a good sign, but the wind and swell just aren't lining up. The water is sitting at a warm 81°, which is about average for this time of year.
We start off on Monday, July 20th, with a tiny 2 ft swell from the SE, but a cross-shore wind at 12 mph is making a mess of things. That tiny bump has weak energy (35). Tuesday isn't any better – a bit more swell (2 ft), but still poor. The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore all week, with speeds picking up to 19 mph by Wednesday. The swell does build, but it’s all short-period, crumbly stuff.
By Thursday, July 23rd, the swell hits 6 ft from the SE, and the energy climbs a bit (311), but it’s all onshore. That’s a messy, blown-out scene. The trend continues into the weekend with storm risks and onshore winds. The swell peaks around 7 ft on Friday, July 24th, with a period of just 7 seconds – that’s pure windswell, no shape to it. The energy is up there (440), but it’s just a washing machine with a strong onshore breeze (19 mph).
The second week is even more lifeless. From Monday, July 28th, it drops back to tiny 2 ft bumps, and by the start of August, we’re looking at 1 ft slop with fresh cross-onshore winds. The energy values are all under 100, which is basically flat. There’s a brief moment on Sunday, August 2nd, with a 3 ft swell from the WSW, but it’s a 4-second period – that’s just wind chop. The wind is howling at 19 mph, so it’s a kite-surfing scene, not a surfing one.
To be honest, with this kind of wind and blown-out swell, the setups here look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. If you’ve got a kite, you might find some fun, but for a surfer, it’s a long, dry spell. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.
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.
