The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it's a pretty flat spell we're looking at right now. The forecast for the entire 16-day window is a long run of poor conditions. There's a brief moment where things almost get interesting, but it's not much to write home about.
We start off on Monday, the 3rd of August, with a weak, short-period SE swell around 4 ft. That sounds okay, but it's coming in with a solid 16 mph onshore wind, making a mess of things. The combined wave energy is a weak 94, and it's just poor surf. This carries on through Tuesday and Wednesday, with the swell dropping below 3 ft and the winds staying onshore or cross-onshore. The energy stays weak, barely cracking 100.
The best chance we get is on Thursday the 6th of August. The swell stays small at 3 ft from the SE, but the energy bumps up a touch to a moderate 125. The real story is the wind. Thursday afternoon goes glassy, with a light breeze from the ENE. That's a major positive. For a brief window, the conditions clean up. The wave comment calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," which is about right. It's a tiny window, and the swell is still small and short-period (8 seconds), so it won't have much push. It's really the only time the wind cooperates.
Friday morning the 7th sees a clean offshore breeze from the north, but the swell drops to 2 ft and the energy falls to 80. It's clean, but there's no juice. From Friday afternoon all the way through to the end of the forecast on the 18th, it's a grim run of tiny surf, mostly under 2 ft, with weak energy often below 50. The winds are all over the place – cross-shore, cross-on, some glassy moments – but there's just no swell to work with.
Tuckers is a point break that's fairly consistent and exposed to the ESE swell. The optimum swell direction is ESE, which matches what we're getting, but the size is just too small. The water temp is a warm 81°, about normal for this time of year.
Honestly, there's no standout here. The one day to maybe, *maybe* get a log out is Thursday afternoon the 6th if the glass-off holds. But if you're after a proper wave, the next two weeks are a write-off. It's a blank run, and for this area, that's not unusual when the swell windows are this narrow. Keep an eye on the charts, these things can change.

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.
Tuckerman's is 3 km (2 miles) from Newport. If you plan a vacation in Rhode Island, look for hotels and other accommodation in Newport. Newport has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
