The Lowdown
Right, well, lookin' at the charts for the next 16 days, I gotta be straight with ya – it's pretty grim. There's no real quality surf on offer here at all. We're in for a long, flat spell with hardly any wave energy to get excited about. The only spot that's even in the conversation is Moody Point, and even that's a tough sell.
The first couple of weeks are a write-off. From the 22nd of August right through to the 6th of September, the swell is tiny, the wind is mostly on it, and the surf just isn't happening. You'll see a few 1ft bumps here and there, but the combined energy is stuck in the weak range (under 100), and the conditions are just plain poor. There's a glimmer on the 26th of August, with a 3ft swell from the SE and a 9-second period, and the wind goes offshore at Moody Point (reef, advanced, inconsistent, exposed, SE). The energy hits 102 (moderate) on Wednesday afternoon, but it's still described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". It's a shame, because that offshore wind would have cleaned it up, but the swell is just too weak to get a proper wave. Then again on the 29th of August, we get a clear morning with that NW offshore wind and a 3ft SE swell, with a clean face. The energy is still only 77, so again, it's not doing much.
The only real standout, and I'm using that term loosely, is the 2nd of September. Wednesday morning the conditions turn glassy. The wind goes NNE at 5 km/h, with a 2ft SE swell coming in at a 12-second period. The energy is 92, just shy of moderate. Moody Point is a reef break, so a longer period groundswell like that can be a good thing, but it's also inconsistent and rarely breaks. It's a real gamble. The water temp is 66°, which is about 1° above normal, so nothing crazy there.
Honestly, the whole 16-day window is a blank run. It's a tough stretch for this area. For a place like this, it's not unusual to have a run of flat days, but it's still frustrating. The only thing that looks half-interesting is if the wind holds on the 2nd, you might get a few clean, glassy, but tiny waves at Moody Point. Don't get your hopes up.

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.
