The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about Moody Point. Rusty here, and I'll be honest—it's looking like a pretty flat spell for this spot.
The water's a touch warmer than normal, about 67°F, which is a nice little bonus for the soul, but that's about where the good news tops out for a while. This spot is a reef break, and it's inconsistent, so it needs a lot of things to line up. For the first ten days or so, we're looking at tiny swell with poor surf conditions, and there's a big gap of nothing happening until the 19th of July rolls around.
The first real pulse of energy shows up on Sunday the 19th, with a 5ft swell from the SSE. The problem? It's a short-period, 6-second wind swell, which means it'll be sloppy. Even with a clean morning, it's not a standout. The energy is moderate at 303 units, but the quality just isn't there. Monday and Tuesday are the same story – a bit of swell, but the wind is all wrong, keeping things choppy and messy.
Honestly, if you're looking for a wave, the best bet is Tuesday afternoon on the 21st. It's only surfable, not great, with a 4ft SSE swell and a short 5-second period. The wind does go cross-offshore, which cleans it up a little, but the energy is weak at 76 units. It's a "meh" session at best.
The only other blip of interest is right at the end of the run, on Monday the 27th of July. The morning offers a 2ft SE swell with an 8-second period, and the wind is cross-offshore and light. The wave energy is moderate at 105 units, and it's described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." That's about as good as it gets here.
This is a tough outlook. There's no standout session, no day to circle on the calendar. The reef needs a proper swell from the SE, and we just don't get it. The conditions are mostly against us. For a spot that's inconsistent and for experts only, these tiny, weak waves aren't going to cut it.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
