The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here, and I’ll tell you straight up—this is a tough stretch for the region. We’re looking at Moody Point, a tricky reef set-up that’s only for the advanced crew and is notoriously inconsistent. Over the next 16 days, the swell just doesn’t cooperate. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t show up until well into the second week, so there's a long, dry gap of over a week with nothing worth paddling out for.
Let’s get into it. Starting from Monday the 10th, it’s flat and hopeless. Wave heights are barely a ripple at 0.3ft, combined energy is weak (6 to 18), and the wind is mostly cross-onshore, chopping it all up. Even the glassy patches on the 12th and 13th can't make anything of it. This same poor story runs right through to the 16th with a bit of rain and a strong onshore wind making a mess. Not a single wave to get excited about.
Finally, on Monday the 17th, we see a tiny pulse, 3ft from the SE, but the energy is still weak (49) and the wind is messy. It’s still a no-go. The first real glimmer comes on Tuesday the 18th morning. Moody Point gets a glassy, calm morning with waves at 1ft from the SE, period a long 15 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (83), but it’s still just “surfable but ordinary.” That glassy wind is a big positive for clean conditions, but the swell is tiny.
The best of a bad bunch looks like Saturday the 21st morning. Moody Point gets glassy conditions with a 2ft swell from the SE (9-second period, moderate energy at 55). It’s again just “surfable but ordinary,” but with no wind and a little bit of shape, an advanced surfer on a log might find a couple. Sunday the 23rd afternoon offers a bit more size at 3ft from the ESE, energy building to 104 (moderate), with a clean cross-offshore breeze. That’s the peak of the whole 16 days, but it’s still small and for experts only.
Honestly, the consistent theme here is low energy, small swell, and for most of the run, poor conditions. This is a blank run that’s pretty normal for this inconsistent spot. It tends not to stay poor forever, but for this outlook, the cupboard is bare.
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.
