The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a 16-day window into the surf at Moody Point, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. Most of this period is a write-off, so we’re looking at a long, quiet run until the very end.
The water is sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a nice little bonus, but it’s not gonna help the waves.
For the first week and a half, from July 14th right through to July 26th, it’s basically flat. The swell is tiny, rarely pushing over 1 ft, and the energy is weak (26-79). The wind is messy, often cross or onshore, and when it does go offshore, there’s just nothing to surf. A few days have a long period (15 seconds) but on a reef break, that’s actually a bit of a caveat – it can make the waves too straight. It’s just a blank run.
We finally get a pulse of energy around July 22nd with a 3 ft SSE swell and a moderate 205 wave energy, but the quality is still questionable. It’s not until July 28th that things get interesting. The standout session is the morning of Tuesday, July 28th. The swell bumps up to 5 ft from the SSE with a short period of 6 seconds and a solid 215 wave energy. The wind is a light, cross-off breeze from the north, which should keep the reef clean. This is the best on offer, but it’s still a short-period swell, so it’s not going to have that long, lined-up feel. This one is more for the experienced crew; 5 ft on a reef can get a bit heavy for beginners.
The day after, July 29th, has a smaller 3 ft SE swell, but the wind is glassy in the afternoon. It’s surfable, but it’s pretty ordinary. Still, a glassy session is better than nothing.
So, to wrap it up: don’t bother waxing your board for the first two weeks. It’s a desert. The only real chance to get wet is on the morning of the 28th, and maybe the glassy afternoon of the 29th. Keep an eye on those forecasts, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

Information about the Moody Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Moody Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Moody Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Moody Point 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 (Moody Point) 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 Moody Point 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.
