The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the upcoming swell window. Let’s be straight with you—this run is a real mixed bag. For the first week and a half, it’s mostly flat and chopped up. The real action, if you can call it that, doesn’t kick in until later.

We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch from right now through the end of July and into the first few days of August. The water’s sitting at a very cold 59°F right now, which is a hefty 6°F colder than normal for this time of year. Basically, you’ll need a thick suit.

Alright, let’s get into the timeline. The first bit of hope shows up on Thursday, the 30th of July at Moody Point. Thursday morning brings a clean window with offshore wind from the west-northwest at 6 mph. Swell fills in at 5ft coming from the east-southeast with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 315 (moderate energy). This is the standout of the whole run—clean conditions, a bit of size, and just enough juice to get a few good walls. That afternoon holds with light northerly wind at 3 mph, swell dropping to 4ft from the east, still clean. If you’ve got a flexible schedule, grab Thursday.

Friday the 31st of July morning stays clean with offshore flow, but the swell has dropped right back to 2ft from the east. The energy is down to 107 (weak to low moderate). It’s surfable but ordinary—nothing to get excited about.

Then we hit another gap. From Friday afternoon right through to Monday the 3rd of August, it’s mostly tiny, messy, or just plain poor. Winds turn onshore or cross-shore with light to moderate breezes. Swell heights sit between 1ft and 2ft, short period, and the combined energy falls to between 24 and 54 (very weak to weak). Not worth paddling out.

Monday the 3rd of August afternoon shows a flicker of hope with a clean cross-off breeze from the north-northeast at 6 mph. Swell is only 2ft from the southeast with a 9-second period, combined energy of 58 (very weak). Surfable but very ordinary.

Tuesday the 4th of August morning is glassy—wind from the north at 3 mph—but the swell is tiny at 1ft from the south-southeast. Period 9 seconds, energy 39 (very weak). Glassy flatness is good for a paddle, not for a wave.

Then we grind through more poor, choppy conditions until another brief clean window on Saturday the 8th of August. Saturday morning has a moderate cross-off breeze from the west-southwest at 12 mph, but the swell is all but gone: 0.7ft from the south-southeast with a 6-second period, energy 7. Saturday afternoon picks up a moderate offshore from the northwest at 12 mph, but the swell is a paltry 2ft with a 4-second period. That’s more wind chop than surf—honestly, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Best of the run: Thursday the 30th of July at Moody Point. The conditions line up with a decent 5ft east-southeast swell, clean offshore wind, and moderate energy. It’s a reef break and it’s inconsistent, but when it’s on, it’s on. Expect crowds possible. That’s your window.

Outside of that, the rest of the 16-day run is quiet and mostly a write-off for proper waves. Hope the swell charts start talking to us again soon.

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.
