The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Alright, let’s have a look at what Tuckers has got cooking over the next couple of weeks. Hang tight, because it’s a real mixed bag, and honestly, we’re looking at a long, frustrating wait for anything worth paddling out for.

The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no shock there – just your typical warm, tropical bath.

Right from the get-go, Monday 10th August through to Sunday 16th August is pretty much a write-off. We’re dealing with tiny waves – ankle to knee high at best – and a constant cross-shore breeze making a mess of things. A few afternoons might clean up a bit, but the swell energy is pathetic, reading between 31 and 91 (weak). You’d be fighting for scraps. Save your energy.

Then comes Monday 17th August. Things start to stir, but it’s not pretty. A solid 4ft swell rolls in from the SE with a period of 14 seconds, packing a punch with a combined energy reading of 697 (moderate). But the wind is cross-onshore and it gets lumpy. Not your friend.

Tuesday 18th August is the only day that gets my blood pumping a bit. The swell jumps to a big 6ft in the morning, but it’s messy. The real standout is Tuesday afternoon. We get a 10ft SSE swell with a 13-second period, and the combined energy hits a massive 4507 (very strong). That’s proper groundswell power. But here’s the catch – it’s too big for beginners and even solid for intermediates. The wind is a strong cross-shore, so it’s going to be lumpy and challenging. This is expert-only territory at Tuckers, and even then, expect a wild, bumpy session. The long period (13 seconds) means longer lulls but better shaped lines, but the wind will chop it up.

Wednesday 19th August afternoon offers a glimmer of hope: a 4ft SE swell, a cross-off breeze, and clean conditions. The energy reads 257 (moderate). It’s surfable, but not a standout.

Thursday 20th August morning shows a 4ft SSW swell with a short 6-second period, and light offshore wind – clean but weak. The afternoon picks up slightly to 5ft SSW, still short period, with a light cross-off breeze. Clean, but ordinary.

After that, from Friday 21st August onwards, we’re back to small, weak swell – 2ft to 4ft – with mostly cross-shore winds and energy readings dropping back below 200. Friday afternoon gets a bit of a bump, but it’s short-period and messy.

The highlight of the whole 16-day window is Tuesday 18th August afternoon – that 10ft SSE groundswell is the only real swell of size. But the cross-shore wind and lumpy conditions mean it’s a grunty, bumpy day for experienced surfers only. Beginners, stay on the beach. Tuckers is a point break, so with that long period swell from the SSE, it should wrap in alright, but the wind will be your enemy. Crowds are possible here, especially when there’s size.

Bottom line: one big day, but not clean. Everything else is flat or messy. Don’t hold your breath.

Later, 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.
