The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks at Moody Point are going to test your patience. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, messy, and mostly weak surf. The swell window is just not lining up, and the wind’s going to be a constant pain in the arse for most of it.

The first real chance of anything resembling a surfable wave doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 26th of August. That’s a solid nine-day gap from now with nothing worth paddling out for. Before that, we’ve got a lot of days with waves under 3 feet, often with onshore or cross-onshore winds chopping things up. There’s a glimmer of glass on the morning of Thursday the 20th, but the swell’s only 2 feet and the energy is weak, so it’s barely a ripple.

Now, when we finally get a pulse of longer-period swell around the 26th, it’s still small. Wednesday morning sees a 1-foot swell from the SE with a 16-second period, but the wind is offshore (NW) and it’s clean. The energy is still modest, but it’s a start. By Wednesday afternoon, that swell bumps up slightly to 1 feet, the period drops a notch to 14 seconds, and the offshore breeze holds. The energy meters get a bit more interesting, but this is still not what I’d call a standout.

The one morning that catches my eye is Thursday the 27th of August. The wind goes completely glassy, and we’ve got a 2-foot SE swell with a 12-second period. The energy is the highest we’ll see in this entire window, which is moderate but nothing crazy. It’s clean, it’s small, and it’s the best we’ve got on offer. This is the only real standout, but even then, it’s a long-period swell at a reef break, so it might have some good shape, but it’s not a day for the beginners in the water.

After that, the energy fades back down, and we’re back to small, wind-affected waves for the rest of the window. Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th are pretty much write-offs with onshore winds and poor conditions. The last day of the month, the 30th, sees a cross-offshore wind clean things up, but the swell is small and the period is short, so it’s not going to be pretty.

Water temp at the start of this run is 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, by about 3°. Not a big deal, but you won’t need the thickest suit.

So, bottom line: if you’re desperate, Thursday the 27th is your best bet. It’s not going to be epic, but it’ll be the cleanest and most powerful surf we get. Don’t get too excited about the rest, and maybe dust off the kiteboard if you’re into that, because a lot of this setup looks more interesting for that than for paddling.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
