The Lowdown
Alright, let me take a look at what we got for Moody Point.
Honestly, mate, it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a solid run of flat to tiny, messy surf with no real standout windows. The entire 16-day forecast is a bit of a bust for paddle surfing. The first week is dominated by weak, short-period swell, mostly under 2 ft, coming from the SE or ESE, with the combined energy barely nudging into the low hundreds – mostly sitting between 11 and 126 (weak to moderate energy). The water temperature is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 66° with a 2° anomaly, so it’s a bit more pleasant than average for a swim, but not for the surf.
There is a brief pulse of energy on September 2nd into the 3rd. Wednesday afternoon the 2nd sees a bump to 6 ft from the SE, but the period is a short 6 seconds and the wind is howling directly onshore from the ESE at 9 mph, making it a choppy, blown-out mess (combined energy of 288). That’s followed by Thursday morning the 3rd with 5 ft from the ESE, a 7-second period, and a cross-onshore breeze, also ugly. This setup, with the onshore wind and short-period chop, looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
We get a clean window on Saturday morning September 5th – cross-offshore winds from the NE at 12 mph – but the swell is only 3 ft from the ESE with an 8-second period (combined energy 85). It’s clean but tiny.
Further out, the second week is even weaker, with swell dropping to 1 ft or less, no real energy, and the wind states are either onshore or cross-shore. Nothing to get excited about.
So, the honest truth? There’s no good surf on offer in this entire 16-day window. Moody Point is an inconsistent, expert-only reef break that rarely gets good, and this forecast is a classic blank run for the area. The best you could hope for is a grovel session on the 5th if you’re desperate, but the forecast can change. For now, keep the board in the car and the wax in the wrapper.

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.
