The Lowdown
G'day, it's Rusty here. Let's break down what the ocean's got cooking for the next couple of weeks. Don't expect much at first – we've got a big dry spell to get through.
For the first week or so, it's pretty flat and messy. The first real chance of a surf doesn't roll in until we get through a good 10 days or so. There's a long gap of nothing recommended before we see a pulse.
The only spot on the radar is Moody Point. It's a reef break for advanced surfers only, and it's inconsistent – so it doesn't break often. When it does, it can get crowded. It needs that SE swell to line up.
Now, here's the play. The absolute best window is the early morning of Sunday, August 30th. It's flat calm – absolutely glassy – with a small 2ft SE swell (8 second period). The wave energy is weak (80), so it's tiny, but the conditions will be as clean as a whistle. That's the one to wake up for if you're keen for a slippery, small-wave session.
After that, the morning of Tuesday, September 1st shows a little more energy, with a combined moderate energy of 167. You'll get a 3ft SE groundswell and a light cross-shore breeze. It'll be a bit messy, but it's a bigger window than the glassy day.
The rest of the days leading into early September are all small, weak, and mostly onshore. On the 3rd of September, the water temp sits at 19°, right about average for this time of year, so your summer wetsuit is fine.
Look, it's a pretty sparse outlook. That glassy Sunday on the 30th is your top pick. If you're an experienced surfer and you can wait for the 1st of September, there's something to check, but don't expect a world-beater. It's a quiet period, but that's how it goes sometimes.
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.
