The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Tuckers is a tough one. Over the next 16 days, we’ve got a real flat spell on our hands. The first real chance to even paddle out comes later on, but overall, the wave energy is weak, and the conditions are messy. The water’s sitting at about 84°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the swim will be comfortable if you’re not surfing.
The first few days, from Wednesday the 12th of August right through the following week, we’re looking at poor surf conditions. The swell is small, often below 3 ft, with weak energy readings (as low as 31 in the energy stakes). The wind is mostly cross-shore and fresh, creating lumpy, chopped-up lines. You’ll see a slight improvement on Sunday the 16th of August, with a cleaner wind from the NE, but the swell is still a mixed bag. The afternoon shows a bit of a pulse, with a 6 ft swell from the NNE, but the period is short at 7 seconds, and the energy is moderate (289). It’s only a marginal call, and with the wind starting to clean up, it’s the best we’ve got.
For the rest of the second week, we’re looking at small, weak swells with poor quality. The wind stays cross or cross-on, and the energy stays low. There’s a glimmer on Monday the 24th of August, with a clean cross-off wind from the W and a 2 ft swell from the SE, but the energy is still weak. Honestly, this is a stretch of flat, choppy ocean, and it’s more suited to a day on the beach than a day in the water.
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.
