The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty darn flat for our stretch of coast. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing on the horizon, so if you’re Jonesin’ for a wave, you might want to find another hobby for a bit.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s a sad story. From now until the 17th, it’s essentially a write-off. We’re talking ankle-biters and knee-high slop at best. The swell energy is just pathetic, with values mostly in the single digits and low double digits. It’s going to be a long, flat spell.
The only glimmer of light, and I mean a tiny one, shows up on the 18th. We’ve got a bit of a pulse arriving, with a swell pushing up to 3ft. The energy jumps into the low triple digits (132 early on the 18th), which is at least something. But, and there’s always a but, the wind is going to be junk. It’s cross-onshore and choppy, which will make it messy. This is for the advanced crew out at Moody Point, and even then, it’s going to be a battle for a marginal wave. This isn't a standout, it's just the only thing on the menu.
The swell direction is supposed to be from the SE, which is okay for this break, but the short period of 8 seconds means it won’t have much punch. And with that onshore wind, expect a gutless, lumpy mess. It’s not looking great. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
There’s another little bump on the 19th, with the swell pushing 4ft and energy up to 175, but again, the wind is on it, and the quality is going to suffer. It’s still only for the experts.
So, to be honest, there’s nothing here that gets me excited. The whole run is a bust. For the first seven days, there is literally nothing to recommend. The good news is, this kind of flat spell doesn't tend to last forever, and forecasts can change. We just gotta be patient and wait for the next real swell to fill in.
This is a stretch of beach that’s exposed to the swell, so it will get waves when there’s something out there, but it seems like the ocean is taking a break. If you’re a kitesurfer, the windy, choppy days on the 18th and 19th might look more interesting than surfing.
That’s all I got for now. It’s a waiting game.
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.
