The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the skinny on Tuckers. It's a quiet stretch, folks. The pattern is small, weak swells and tricky wind for a long time, so we're looking for a sliver of a window.
There is one clear moment to keep on your radar in this whole sixteen-day run: Saturday, September 12th at Tuckers. It's not big—a little 3ft to 3ft swell from the southeast—but the quality is the story. The morning has a light cross-off breeze, but the afternoon is the real gem. The wind goes glassy, dead calm. That's pure gold for a point break. The wave energy is light, reading 104 to 127, but with a glassy surface and that east-southeast direction right in the sweet spot, it'll be clean, fun, and easy. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no nasty surprises.
After that, it's a bust. From Sunday the 13th through Friday the 18th, it's cross-on and onshore winds with tiny, weak swell. The reports keep saying "poor" and the energy values are almost all under 100. It's a no-go.
Then we hit a big lull. From the 21st into the 23rd, it's still tiny and mostly messy. You get a glassy morning on the 21st, but the swell is only 2ft from the east with a short period. It's hardly a ripple.
Around the 23rd of September, the size finally arrives, but it comes with a price. We get a jump to 8ft on Wednesday the 23rd, and then 10ft by Sunday the 27th. The combined energy jumps into the thousands (900 to 2433), so there's serious power. But the wind is howling onshore from the south and south-southwest, making it choppy and lumpy. It's way too big for beginners, and with that onshore wind, it's only for experts who like a fight, not a smooth ride. Honestly, with that consistent cross-onshore wind and the beach/point setup, it's looking more like a kite-surfing spot than a paddle zone.
To wrap it up: your only real window is the afternoon of Saturday the 12th. Don't miss it, because after that it's a long quiet spell until big, blown-out stuff shows up in the second week.
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.
