The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Tuckers.
Honestly, for the next week or so, there’s nothing to get excited about. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf conditions with tiny swell and messy cross-shore winds. From Monday the 10th right through to Sunday the 16th, the waves are barely a whisper – around 1ft to 2ft, mostly from the SE or NE with short, weak periods of 8 to 11 seconds. The combined swell energy stays well under 100, so it’s weak all the way. Winds are cross or cross-off but mostly in the moderate to fresh range, keeping things lumpy and uninviting. Not worth paddling out.
Now, things start to look interesting from Monday the 17th. The morning shows a jump to 3ft from the SE with a beautiful 15-second period – that’s proper groundswell – and combined energy jumps right up to 409, which is moderate. Wind is light from the north at just 3 mph, cross-off and clean. That’s a promising start to a run.
Tuesday the 18th is where it gets good. Glassy conditions in the morning with 6ft SE swell at 11 seconds, combined energy at 894 – that’s moderate and pushing into the strong category. The water temperature at Tuckers is 84°, which is about 2° warmer than average for this time of year, so that’s already notable – a touch warmer than usual. Clean, glassy waves, good size for intermediates, and the swell direction lines up nicely with the optimum ESE. This is a standout.
But the real one to circle is Wednesday the 19th. Morning sees 13ft from the SSE with a 10-second period and combined energy at 3207 – that’s strong to very strong. The wind is light offshore from the NNW at 6 mph, keeping it clean. The afternoon pumps even harder: 16ft from the S, period 10 seconds, combined energy a massive 5398. Offshore breeze from the NW at 9 mph. This is big, powerful surf – only for experienced surfers. It’s the best on offer across the whole outlook, but with that size, it’s strictly for the crew who know what they’re doing.
After that, Thursday the 20th drops back quickly to 3ft–4ft, short-period, ordinary conditions, and Friday the 21st stays small and weak. The rest of the run through to Tuesday the 25th returns to tiny, poor surf, so make the most of the 17th through the 19th.
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.
