The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here again. Let's put it in feet and miles per hour. The next 16 days are a mixed bag. We've got a clean window this week, but a lot of average to poor conditions in between. The standout is Wednesday morning, the 26th, but there's some rough stuff later.

Right now, we're looking at Tuckers (point) on Wednesday morning, 26th August. The water is 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal. The morning is the pick. We've got a clean 4 ft swell from the ESE with a short 8-second period, and the combined energy is moderate at 248. The wind is a light, cross-offshore from the west, keeping it clean. It's a good chance for intermediate-plus surfers. Crowds are possible, so get in early.

Wednesday afternoon gets messy with a risk of thunderstorms. Thursday the 27th improves early with glassy conditions and a smaller 3 ft ESE swell, energy still moderate at 201. The afternoon turns cross-onshore and choppy.

Friday the 28th through Sunday the 30th is a write-off. The wind swings to the SE and strengthens, creating onshore and cross-onshore chop. The swell drops, period is short, and energy goes weak. A poor stretch.

We get a short reprieve on Monday the 31st of August. The wind goes glassy, with a 3 ft SE swell, 9-second period, and moderate energy at 159. It's surfable but very ordinary. Tuesday the 1st of September sees the swell build to 4 ft, with a 10-second period from the SE, boosting energy to a moderate 333. The wind is a light cross-on, so it's not perfect.

Then a long dry spell from Wednesday the 2nd of September through Saturday the 5th of September. Conditions are poor. Swell is small, period short, and the wind is a problem. Energy is weak. A dead zone.

Things change on Sunday the 6th of September. A big 7 ft to 8 ft swell from the NNE and NE shows up, with a 9-second period. The energy jumps to a strong 811-822. This is a big swell, but the wind is a cross-onshore, so it's fat and messy – a poor outlook. This size is for experts only.

Monday the 7th of September gets bigger: 8 ft to 8 ft swell from the NE, 10-second period, and a very strong energy of 1104. The wind is a fresh cross-shore, lumpy. Expert-only, marginal conditions.

The best chance of the second week is Tuesday the 8th of September. The swell drops to a manageable 6 ft from the NE with a longer 11-second period, delivering very strong energy (910). The wind shifts to a cross-offshore from the west, cleaning it up. This is a solid, promising window for the point. A standout for the week ahead, but it's a long-range call.

The rest of the forecast fades into poor conditions with onshore winds and dropping swell.

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.
