Table - best surf conditions forecast for Moody Point over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk surf. Moody Point is looking pretty quiet for the foreseeable future. There’s nothing that’ll get you out of bed early for a while. The first real bump in the road doesn’t come until way late in the forecast, and even then it’s not pretty.
Right now on Wednesday morning, we’ve got about 4ft of swell out of the southeast, short period around 8 seconds, and it’s onshore. The water is 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a small win, but the waves are poor. Wednesday afternoon pushes a little bigger, 4ft, but still cross-onshore and choppy.
Thursday morning drops to 3ft, but the wind goes offshore, so it’ll be glassy. The period is a weak 7 seconds and the energy is moderate. You could probably snag a few, but it’s nothing special. That’s about as good as it gets for a while. From Friday the 10th all the way through to Monday the 20th, we’re looking at a major flat spell – most days showing less than 2ft and energy readings in the double digits. Some days have clean winds, like Tuesday the 14th afternoon with 3ft, but the period is a pathetic 5 seconds and the energy is only 65. That’s barely a ripple.
The only real pulse shows up on Tuesday the 21st. Swell jumps to 5ft in the morning and 5ft in the afternoon, with combined energy over 200. But it’s short period, just 6 seconds, and it’s coming straight onshore. It’ll be bumpy and hard to ride. Wednesday the 22nd morning has the biggest energy reading of the whole run at 348 with nearly 5ft of swell, but again it’s cross-onshore and short period. So we’ve got power, but no polish.
If you’re looking for the least bad option, Thursday morning July 9th is it – clean, offshore winds, and about 3ft of swell. But keep the expectations low. Other than that, this stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing with that bigger, sloppy swell later on. For us surfers, it’s a long, quiet wait.

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.
