The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here with the lowdown on Moody Point for the next couple weeks. Got to level with you – it’s a pretty grim forecast, with a lot of flat, unrideable days ahead.
Water temp is a warm 66°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but you’ll be sittin’ on the beach more than in it.
From Tuesday the 1st right through to early Thursday the 3rd, it’s basically a write-off. We’re dealing with tiny 1ft to 3ft slop from the SE, with weak energy readings barely hitting three digits. Winds are mixed, mostly onshore or cross – no point getting your gear wet.
The first glimmer of hope is Thursday afternoon, the 3rd. Swell is still just 3ft from the SE, with a short 6-second period, but the wind swings to a light north cross-off, cleanin’ it right up. Combined energy is 74 – still weak – but it’s "surfable but very ordinary". Barely worth a look.
Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th stay in the ordinary-to-poor zone. Friday morning sees 3ft from the ESE (combined energy 83) with glassy wind, but it’s messy. Saturday morning offers a clean 2ft from the ESE (combined energy 52) with a light north cross-off – again, rideable but nothing special. The pattern continues with only marginal quality until the second week.
Now, for the pick of the entire forecast – and that’s not sayin’ much – it’s Saturday the 12th. Swell builds to 3ft from the SSE (combined energy 99) with a clean, light north cross-off in the morning. Then Saturday afternoon, the wind drops to glassy from the NNW, with 2ft of SSE swell (combined energy 59). That’s the best window we’ve got. Clean, glassy, and actually surfable. Don’t get your hopes up for a classic, but it’s the one to aim for.
Monday the 14th morning also offers a clean 3ft from the SSE (combined energy 73) with a light SW cross-off – another reasonable session.
After that, the last few days drop back into tiny 0.6ft to 1ft mush with moderate offshore winds. Not worth the time.
Moody Point is an exposed reef break that needs an SE swell, so the direction lines up on the few good days. It’s for advanced surfers only, breaks inconsistently, and you can expect it to be often crowded whenever there’s a wave. Mind your noggin.
Bottom line: it’s a lean stretch, but the surf often turns around quicker than you’d think, so keep an eye on it.
Rusty, signing out.

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.
