The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Moody Point has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: this stretch is looking pretty grim for a proper paddle session. We’ve got a bit of a gap here with nothing really worth getting wet for. The first real nod comes on the morning of Sunday the 6th. We’ll see a pulse of 4ft from the ENE, and with the wind coming out of the NNE as a cross-offshore breeze, it’ll be clean. The combined swell energy sits at a moderate 308, so there’s some push, but the period is a short 7 seconds – not much shape to get excited about. It’s marginal at best, and for an advanced reef break that’s inconsistent, you’d want a lot more on offer.
After that, it’s mostly small, weak, and choppy. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there. Monday morning the 7th offers a tiny 2ft from the east with glassy conditions, but the energy is a weak 61 – barely enough to get a surfboard wet.
Look, if you’re desperate, the morning of Saturday the 12th sees a bit more size at 5ft from the ENE, but it’s short period (6 secs) and the combined energy is moderate at 152. The wind will be a cross-offshore from the north, keeping it clean, but the quality just isn’t there for a good paddle.
For the rest of the run, we’re talking tiny dribbles of swell with poor winds, onshore chop, or just plain flat. There’s a few days where it goes glassy on the afternoon of the 15th, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft. Honestly, this stretch is a bust for surfers. If you’ve got a kite, you might get a look on the windier days, but for a wave count, I’d save your energy. The forecasts can change, but as it stands, it’s a long, blank run.
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.
Moody Point is 24 km (15 miles) from Sanford. If you plan a vacation in Maine, look for hotels and other accommodation in Sanford. Sanford has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
