The Lowdown

Alright, here’s the same look but in feet and miles per hour.

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks here. I’m only lookin’ at Tuckers for this stretch. It’s a point break that can handle an easterly-southeasterly swell, and it likes the wind off the land, from the NNW. Water temps are sittin’ around 84°F right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year—just a little extra warmth in the water.

The first surf we can actually get on starts up on Sunday the 23rd of August, but it’s a bit of a fizzer. We’re lookin’ at a tiny 1-ft swell from the ESE at 11 seconds, but we’ve got a risk of thunderstorms and onshore southerly wind at 6 mph. The combined energy is weak (90), and the whole setup’s just poor. Not worth paddlin’ out.

Monday the 24th starts flat again with only 1-ft, but by Monday afternoon things perk up a little. We get a 4-ft ESE swell, period drops to 8 seconds, and the wind goes cross-offshore from the west at 9 mph. That’s clean enough to be rideable, but it’s ordinary. Combined energy is moderate (165), but it’s still small and choppy lookin’. Tuesday the 25th stays similar—3-ft and 3-ft, clean but nothin’ to write home about.

Now Wednesday the 26th is where it gets interesting. We’ve got a morning session with 4-ft from the ESE at 9 seconds, cross-offshore west wind at 6 mph—clean. Afternoon gets glassy with the wind droppin’ to 3 mph and a light southeast swell. Combined energy jumps to 257 and 245, which is moderate but feelin’ stronger. That’s good surf conditions, and it’s the first standout of the week. Tuckers will be workin’ with shoulder-head-high sets, clean faces, and that offshore push. Might see a few locals out, but it’s not a zoo just yet.

Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th fall apart though. Wind swings onshore from the ESE, 6-12 mph, and the swell drops under 3-ft. Combined energy sinks to around 120-168, but the cross-onshore wind makes it choppy and poor. Same story through the weekend of the 29th-30th—sub-3-ft swell, onshore wind, some thunderstorms mixing in. Not worth a paddle.

Then there’s a gap of a few days where the surf quality is questionable. Monday the 31st of August has a long-period 15-second swell pushin’ 3-4-ft from the ESE, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the combined energy jumps way up to 556-651—that’s moderate to strong energy. But with the wind, it’s just messy and marginal. Tuesday the 1st of September has a 5-6-ft swell from the SE/ESE, 12-second period, cross-shore winds at 9 mph. Energy is high (779-826), but the cross-shore chop and size over 5-ft mean it’s gettin’ a bit much for beginners, and the conditions are still marginal.

Now, Wednesday the 2nd of September is the real standout. We’ve got 7-7-ft from the ESE at a long 13 seconds, with cross-offshore winds from the W/WNW at 9 mph. Combined energy is massive—1293 to 1657—strong wave energy. This is a solid groundswell, and at Tuckers, that long period will wrap nicely down the point. Clean faces, good shape, and that size is for experienced surfers only—too big for beginners. It’s the best on offer in the whole outlook.

Thursday the 3rd of September still has excellent conditions with 5-6-ft from the E/ESE at 12 seconds, cross-offshore northeast wind around 6-9 mph, and combined energy at 650-901. Clean and very good surf—another good day but a touch smaller.

After that, from Friday the 4th of September through to Monday the 7th of September, it’s all downhill. Swell drops under 4-ft, wind picks up from the SW or WSW at 9-19 mph cross-shore, and combined energy fades to weak or low moderate. It gets choppy, lumpy, and poor. The last day on Monday the 7th of September has a 4-ft swell from the SSW but at a shockin’ 5-second period—that’s just wind slop with fresh cross-shore wind at 19 mph. Not surfable.

So, the pick of the bunch? Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd of September at Tuckers. Strong groundswell, clean offshore wind, and that point will be fire. Just remember: on the 2nd, it’s over 6-ft, so leave it for the crew who know what they’re doin’. Crowds could be around, but it’s not a total circus.

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.
