The Lowdown
Let’s be real about the next couple of weeks at Tuckers. Honestly, it’s grim. There is not a single day in the 16-day window where I’d tell you to paddle out. The whole period is messy and blown out.
Right now through the end of July and into early August, we’ve got winds howling out of the SSW and SW, 25 to 37 mph, all cross-onshore. The swell is tiny—0.3ft to 0.7ft—coming from the ESE or SE with periods between 7 and 9 seconds, so no real energy behind it. Combined swell energy is weak, mostly between 19 and 72, meaning you’re scraping for anything rideable. Water temp is 82°, with a water temperature anomaly of 1°, so it’s about normal for the time of year.
First week of August doesn’t get any better. Around the 5th and 6th, a small pulse from the NE shows up, swells around 3ft to 3ft, and combined energy climbs to between 116 and 186 (moderate). The period is still short at 9 seconds, and the wind stays cross-onshore. So it’s still junk.
By the second week, around the 7th, the NE swell bumps to 4ft to 4ft, with combined energy up at 278 (moderate). Still cross-onshore, still ugly. The period ticks up to 10 seconds but what does that matter when the surface is all chopped up? The wind finally goes cross-shore and eases to around 7 to 9 mph by the 8th, but by then the swell is fading back to around 3ft. Not worth a trip.
Tuckers is a point break exposed to ESE swells, and while some of these NE pulses aim well at the optimum direction, the wind just kills it every time. There is no clean window. Honestly, this whole stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddling a surfboard. Don’t expect much. It can turn around quick here, but this run is looking long and blank.

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.
