The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for our local stretch. Honestly, for the next week and a half, it’s a bit of a lean run. We’ve got a lot of days where the swell just isn’t doing us any favours, and the wind is often working against us. But don’t lose hope; there’s a glimmer at the very end of the window that’s got my attention.
We start off with Wednesday the 19th, and it’s pretty grim. Tiny 2ft swell from the SE with a short period of 7 seconds, combined with a cross-onshore breeze, just making a mess of things. That theme carries on through the rest of August. Thursday the 20th morning gives us a slight breather with a clean, cross-offshore wind on that same small, weak 2ft SE swell, but it’s still very ordinary. Friday the 21st morning is similar—clean again with a light northerly, but the waves are only 2ft from the ESE. We just don’t have any energy (combined energy is a weak 51). The weekend and most of the following week are a write-off; we’re talking days of onshore wind and tiny, weak surf. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the swell stays below 3ft.
There’s a noticeable shift around Wednesday the 2nd of September. The early morning looks promising. The wind goes glassy calm, and we see a bump in swell to 5ft from the S, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a solid 232 (moderate energy). This is the standout in the whole forecast. It’s not a huge swell, but with clean, glassy conditions, Moody Point should offer some fun, rideable waves. It’s a reef break that’s exposed to this SE swell direction, which is a good match. Because it’s an inconsistent spot and the swell is small, it won’t be pumping, but the quality of the conditions will be a treat. The water temperature is about average for this time of year. The session will be short-lived, though, as by the afternoon the wind swings cross-onshore and the quality drops right off.
After that, we’re back to small, weak surf for Thursday the 3rd. So, the takeaway: if you’ve got a free morning on September 2nd, be on it. For everything else, you’re probably better off waiting for the next forecast update.

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.
