Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tuckers over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's cooking at Tuckers for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's looking pretty grim. The whole 16-day forecast is a flat, boring stretch. There's a gap of no real surf right from the start, through the first few days. The water is sitting at 82°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but that's the only thing that's a little unusual.
For the first week, from Thursday the 9th through Monday the 14th, it's a total washout. Swell heights are barely scraping 2ft, with a weak, short-period SE windswell that's got no power. The combined energy is stuck in the pathetic 30-50 range, and the wind is either cross or cross-off, but still a fresh breeze that's ruining any chance of a decent wave. Just forget it.
We get a tiny pulse on Tuesday the 15th. The morning shows a bump to 4ft from the SW, but the period is a shocking 5 seconds, so it's just a messy, weak windswell. The combined energy hits 180 (moderate), but it's still called "surfable waves but very ordinary." That's being kind. The light breeze from the NNE keeps it clean, but it's nothing to write home about, and it's gone by the afternoon.
The second week has a few more pulses around the 22nd and 23rd of July, with swell heights touching 4ft from the east and combined energy getting into the 160-210 range (moderate). But here's the problem – the wind is consistently onshore or cross-onshore from the south or southeast, which is going to chop it all up. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it won't have any real grunt or shape. It's more of a messy, choppy mess that's better for a kite than a surfboard.
Tuckers is a point break that needs that ESE swell, and we just aren't getting it. This kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area when the direction is off. The forecast can change, but as it stands, there's nothing here worth chasing. Keep your board in the car and your wax in the wrapper.

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.
