The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s cooking at Moody Point. I gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one. This is a classic exposed reef setup, only for the advanced crew, but even they are going to be scratching their heads. The forecast shows a long stretch of poor surf conditions right from the start.
From Saturday, August 8th, right through to the morning of Wednesday, August 19th, it’s a grim run. The combined swell energy is weak, mostly sitting in the teens (12), barely ticking over. You're looking at tiny waves, mostly around 0.3ft to 1ft, with a short, weak period. The water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is pretty average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The winds are all over the place – glassy one minute, howling offshore the next – but there just isn't any power in the water to make it worthwhile.
Now, we finally see a bit of a pulse building. By Wednesday afternoon, August 19th, we get a tiny spike in energy to 63, and the conditions are glassy. The waves are still only around 1ft, but the report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" – and I’d agree. It's something, but not something to get excited about.
The real standout, and I mean the *only* one worth circling on your calendar, is the afternoon of Sunday, August 23rd. The combined swell energy jumps to a solid 222 (moderate wave energy). We’re looking at about 3ft of swell coming from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is cranking out of the NW at 16 mph, which is offshore and will keep the faces clean. It’s still small, and for a reef, 3ft can be a bit tricky, but the energy is there and it’s going to be clean. The morning of that same day is also worth a look, with about 3ft and a cross-offshore wind, but the afternoon looks a touch cleaner with that true offshore.
So there you have it. A whole lot of waiting for one decent window on the 23rd. If you’re an expert and you’re bored, that’s your shot. For everyone else, maybe save the gas.
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.
