The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin' at Tuckers over the next couple of weeks.
First up, I gotta be straight with you – the next week or so is a write-off. We’re looking at a solid stretch of days with hardly any push. From Saturday the 29th of August right through to the 7th of September, it’s mostly poor surf conditions with small, weak swell. The wind is all over the shop, mostly onshore or cross, and that combined wave energy is barely breaking 170 (170) – that's weak, mate. There’s a brief moment on Monday the 31st of August afternoon where the period jumps to 12 seconds (12s) and the energy hits 323 (323), but the wind is cross and the conditions are still marginal. Not worth paddling out for.
Now, the real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday the 8th of September. Tuckers (a point break) is set to light up. Tuesday morning brings a solid 10ft (10ft) south swell with a 13-second (13s) period – that’s proper groundswell, long lines. The combined energy is a whopping 2841 (2841), which is strong. The wind is a gentle breeze from the northeast, clean and cross-offshore. That’s the standout session. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. Afternoon on the 8th pushes even bigger at 13ft (13ft) from the SSE, but the wind swings onshore, so it’ll get a bit lumpy. That morning window is the one to circle.
After that, it drops off again. The 9th through the 13th of September are mostly small and messy, with only a few fleeting moments of clean, cross-off wind on the 11th and 13th, but the swell is tiny – under 3ft (3ft). The 13th of September morning has a nice offshore breeze from the northwest, but the swell is only 2ft (2ft) with a 9-second (9s) period. Not enough to get excited about.
So, the bottom line: you’ve got a long dry spell, then one absolute cracker of a morning on Tuesday the 8th of September. Lock that in if you can.
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.
