Past, Present,and Future (By One Who Knows) - Anyone who has surfed tucks in the 90's sure knows the true potential world class wave of Tucks. Place used to rock...no better wave on earth!
Hasn't gone off since 2003 hurricane season and still waiting to see it happen. Just a few semi good days far and between, never like before! Sand bar and lack of swell + angle has been defying its perfection.
Depending on the future movements of the sand and more frequent swells we just might get the rare, classic set up although this seems to be more of a wait than ever before. Who knows what the future might bring. Those who were on it during the past including myself really know when tucks was really tucks! Good luck all!

A Few Fun Days At Tucks - Who says this place doesn't break anymore? Just need to be a local and wait for the right conditions. Had a few fun days during middle of this month. Low pressure was to our southeast, conditions were semi clean, swell angle was good, chest to head high and consistent. Patience is needed to surf this epic break. When it's good it's pretty much tck in and go!
