The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the cards for Tuckers over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it ain’t gonna be a blockbuster period.
For the first week and a half, we are in a proper flat spell. From Wednesday the 2nd right through to Tuesday the 8th, the waves are tiny and the conditions are pretty ordinary. You’ll see a whole lot of nothing, with wave heights barely scraping 3 feet at their best, and most of the time hanging around 2 feet to 2 feet. The combined wave energy is weak, mostly in the 30s to 90s range. The wind is either cross or cross-off, and it's often too strong to make the most of that tiny swell. Honestly, there’s not a single session worth chasing in that stretch. You’d be better off doing the gardening.
That brings us to the only real highlight of this whole outlook. On Wednesday the 9th of September, things finally wake up. A pulse of NNE swell pushes through, bringing chest to shoulder-high waves at about 4 feet. The combined energy jumps up to a moderate 279, so there’s actually some push behind it. Best of all, the wind goes glassy – dead calm – both morning and afternoon. That’s a rare treat, and it’ll make for some silky, clean lines at this exposed point. The swell direction is bang on from the optimum ESE direction for Tuckers, so expect the point to really groom it. The water’s sitting at 85°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick wetsuit.
After that little window, it’s back to the doldrums. From Thursday the 10th right through to Thursday the 17th, we’re scraping by on tiny, weak swells again – mostly around 1 feet to 3 feet – and the energy levels drop off a cliff back into the double digits. The wind stays cross or cross-off, and there are even some risky t-storm days in there. Nothing worth paddling out for.
So, to put it plainly: if you’ve got a free day, make it Wednesday the 9th of September. That’s your standout. The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. It’s just one of those patches where the ocean goes quiet. But hey, it never stays flat forever.

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.
