The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a honest look at what's cookin' for Tuckers over the next couple of weeks. Gotta say, the outlook is a bit of a mixed bag with a whole lot of waiting involved.

Right off the bat, the water's sitting at a toasty 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice surprise if you're paddling out in boardies.

For the first few days, it's pretty bleak. We're looking at a run of poor surf conditions from Friday the 28th right through to Monday the 1st of September. Small, weak swell from the southeast, mostly onshore winds, and the combined energy is barely hitting the low hundreds at best, often just piddly two-digit numbers. Not worth wetting a board.

Now, there is a flicker of hope. On Tuesday morning, the 1st of September, things look a little less ordinary. The wind swings cross-offshore, cleaning up the 4 ft swell from the southeast. The combined energy jumps up to a moderate 277, and it's looking clean. It's not a standout by any means, just a brief window where you might get a couple of fun ones if you're desperate. But even then, the rating suggests it's only just surfable.

After that brief tease, we drop right back into a long, dry spell. From Tuesday afternoon through to Tuesday the 8th of September, it's mostly poor conditions with tiny, weak swell and energy rarely cracking triple digits. There's a small window on Monday the 7th of September where we get a clean, offshore breeze from the NNW, but the swell is tiny at 2 ft, so it's more of a longboard-for-beginners situation. Not a standout.

The only real event in the whole outlook hits on Wednesday the 9th of September. A solid pulse of south swell arrives, pushing 8 ft. That's a fair bit of water, but the problem is the wind. A strong 35 km/h cross-onshore breeze from the SSW will have it blown out and lumpy. The combined energy is a very strong 919, so there's plenty of power, but it'll be a messy, choppy mess. Definitely not for beginners at that size, and only for the experts who don't mind a battle with the wind. It’s the only time we see real size, but the quality just isn't there.

After that, the tail end of the forecast from the 10th to the 12th of September is just more of the same – moderate, messy onshore winds and small, weak swell. The energy drops right off.

Honestly, there's nothing here I’d call a true standout session. The best bet, and it's a weak one, is cleaning the wax off for that Tuesday morning on the 1st of September for a few chest-high waves. Otherwise, keep your gear in the shed. This area is having a blank run, and sometimes that's just how it goes. Forecasts can change, so don't give up hope entirely.

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.
