The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Tuckers (point) in feet and Fahrenheit. This outlook covers the next 16 days and I’ll be honest with you — it’s mostly a waiting game.
There’s a big dry spell from now all the way through to late Monday, August 31st. No surf worth mentioning. Then we get a very short-lived pulse of cleaner conditions.
The real standout window opens Monday, August 31st afternoon. The wind goes glassy out of the WNW, and we’ve got swell building to about 4ft from the SE with a long 12-second period — proper groundswell. The combined energy is a strong moderate at 413. Water temp is about normal for this time of year. That Monday afternoon will be the cleanest, most lined-up the point will be for the whole 16 days.
Tuesday, September 1st morning holds on with glassy conditions from the W, swell still around 4ft from the SE, period at 10 seconds, energy at 266. Still good. But by Tuesday afternoon the wind goes cross-off and the quality fades.
From Wednesday, September 2nd onward it’s mostly a write-off. Strong cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, thunderstorms, and tiny swell — often under 2-3ft, with energy readings frequently below 100. There’s a spike on September 8th with swell jumping to around 6ft from the S, but with a fresh cross-onshore wind and lumpy conditions, that’s more of a kiteboarding afternoon than a clean paddle session. The point will be blown out.
A brief mention for September 12th and 13th: the wind goes offshore or glassy, but the swell is tiny — barely 2ft — and the energy is weak. Only a longboard option.
So the one and only real call is Monday, August 31st afternoon. Don’t miss it, because after that it’s a long quiet stretch at Tuckers.

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.
