The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you. I’ve had a good look at the charts for this spot, and honestly, it’s a tough one for the next couple of weeks.
The Outlook
Right, so the overall pattern is grim. We’ve got a massive dry spell for nearly two full weeks. From Tuesday the 8th right through to Sunday the 20th of September, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The energy just isn’t there, and the little bumps of swell that show up are mostly tiny, weak, and blown out. It’s the kind of period where you’d be better off tuning up your board or going for a fish.
Things finally start to stir on Sunday the 20th. Late in the afternoon, we see a tiny pulse of 3ft swell from the east-northeast, but it’s only got a short period of 6 seconds. The wind is a light offshore from the northwest, so the surface will be clean, but with the combined energy only at 77, it’s just a weak little mushburger. Not a day to get excited about.
Then we get a real glimmer of hope on Tuesday the 22nd of September. The morning glass-off is a beautiful thing – dead calm, not a breath of wind. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the east-southeast, but the period is still a short 6 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 196 (moderate), so there’s a bit more push. It’s not going to be a world-beater, but for a spot that’s been dead for two weeks, it’s the best we’ve got. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a nice bonus.
The window is brief, though. Tuesday afternoon the wind swings onshore, and the swell gets messy with a rating that’s only marginal. Wednesday the 23rd starts with a similar 4ft, 8-second swell from the east-southeast, but it’s already onshore and choppy again. The combined energy drops to 309 (still moderate), but the quality is just not there.
The Standout
If you’re desperate for a paddle, the absolute standout is Tuesday morning, September 22nd. The swell is the biggest we’ll see at 5ft from the east-southeast, and the glassy conditions are a major win. It’s not a long-period groundswell, so it won’t be a classic, but it’s clean, and the energy is decent. You’ll have the place to yourself, as it’s often crowded, but with the rubbish run we’ve had, I reckon it’ll be quiet. For a more advanced crew, it’s the only window.
Right, that’s all I’ve got for this stretch. Keep your eye on the water, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
