The Lowdown
Well, let me tell you, if you're hanging out for a wave at Moody Point (Moody-Point) over the next couple of weeks, you're gonna need a whole lot of patience. It's looking pretty bleak for the most part, with only a couple of fleeting moments that might get you excited.
The water temp is running about average for this time of year, so no need to dig out the extra thick suit just yet.
Right out of the gate, Thursday the 27th through Monday the 31st is a total write-off. We're looking at tiny, weak surf with poor conditions. The swell energy is just pathetic, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore, chopping up anything that might be there. Not worth the paddle.
We roll into September, and Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd are still pretty ordinary. There's a slight bump in size but the period drops to a weak 6-7 seconds, and the wind stays messy. Still not your day.
Now, here's where things get a little more interesting. On Thursday the 3rd, the swell pushes up to about 5ft with an ESE direction, and the energy is building. The wind is a gentle cross-shore, making for clean-ish conditions. It's a marginal call, but this is one of the better windows. The period is still a bit short at 7 seconds, but it's the best we've seen. Friday the 4th keeps things going with a similar size and a slightly longer 9-second period, and the energy is up. This is looking like the standout, though it's a ways out, so treat it as promising but not locked in.
Saturday the 5th sees the swell ease a touch to around 4ft but it's still rideable. Then Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th, it just drops off a cliff again. The energy fades fast, and we're done.
The second week is a real letdown. From Tuesday the 8th through Friday the 11th, it's back to tiny, weak, and mostly junky surf. There might be a clean moment here or there, but honestly, it's not enough to get excited about.
So, bottom line: if you're keen, keep your eye on that Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th window. It's not going to be epic, but it's the only real chance for a wave. The rest is a whole lot of nothing. This spot is inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast is living up to that reputation.
Stay patient, mates.

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.
