The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. It’s shaping up to be a pretty quiet run here at Moody Point. We’ve got a tough stretch ahead, with barely a whisper of rideable swell for the first two weeks.
Right now, and for the next several days, the energy is just not there. We’re looking at tiny waves, mostly under 2 ft, from the SSE and SE. Even when the wind goes glassy or offshore, like on Monday afternoon or Friday morning, the swell is too weak to do anything with. The combined energy is stuck in the low double digits, which is a dead giveaway. It’s a long, dry spell.
We do finally see a pulse of energy arriving on Saturday the 15th. The afternoon brings a jump to 5 ft from the SSE, with combined energy reading 152 (moderate). But here’s the kicker – the wind is cross-onshore from the S at 10 mph, and the swell period is a short 6 seconds. That’s going to be a messy, choppy affair. Not the kind of surf that gets you out of bed.
The pattern continues through the next week with a bit more size, but the wind remains a problem. By Sunday the 16th, we’re seeing 4 ft from the SSE (energy 143), but it’s light rain and cross-onshore wind again. The swells are short-period and the surface is going to be lumpy.
The real standout, and the only one worth circling on the calendar, is the stretch from Thursday the 22nd into Sunday the 23rd. On Saturday morning the 22nd, we get a 3 ft swell from the SE with a period of 12 seconds, which is a proper groundswell. The combined energy climbs to 274 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-on from the ENE at just 3 mph, giving us small ripples. It’s still marginal, but it’s the best of a quiet bunch. Sunday the 23rd looks similar, with 4 ft from the SE and a period of 12 seconds, pushing the energy up to 407 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-shore from the SW, so it could clean up a bit. For a spot that’s inconsistent and often crowded, this is about as good as it gets in the window. The swell direction from the SE is right on the money for this exposed reef, but remember, a long-period groundswell like this can break a bit straight on a beach break setup, but on a reef you might find some better lines.
Just keep in mind, this is a long-range call, so it’s promising but not locked in. Before that, it’s a whole lot of flat spells and junk. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
This is 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.
