The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this straight. Moody Point is the only break on the cards for the next 16 days, and to be honest, it’s a tough stretch. This is a shallow reef setup for advanced crew only, and it needs a specific window in the swell direction to really fire. Right now, that window is pretty much shut.
For the first week and a half, it’s flat to tiny. From Wednesday the 16th right through to the middle of the following week, we’re looking at knee-high slop at best. The combined energy is barely ticking over – mostly in the 17 to 118 range, which is weak to low-moderate. Nothing worth paddling out for. Winds are a mixed bag of cross-shore and cross-onshore, with a few glassy moments on Thursday afternoon the 17th and Saturday morning the 19th, but the swell is just too small to do anything with. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
There’s a slight pulse of energy that shows up around the 22nd and 23rd of September, with better wave height but still poor quality – combined energy climbs to 118 and then 205, but it’s all onshore and choppy. This is a beach-and-reef setup, and with the wind and messy conditions, it looks more like a kite-surfing afternoon than a paddle session.
Then, finally, we get a standout. Friday morning, the 25th of September, is the only real window worth pointing a board at. The swell pushes up to 5ft from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds. Combined energy hits 318 – that’s moderate to strong energy. The magic is in the wind: glassy, dead calm. This is a reef break, and that longer-period groundswell will wrap in nicely, offering clean, lined-up waves. It’s not huge, but it’s the best we’re going to get. Crowds are possible here, so get there early.
After that, the energy drops back off quickly. The rest of the 16 days is back to small, weak, and messy. A brief spike on Thursday the 1st of October shows 2ft from the SE with a long 13-second period and clean wind, but the size is just too small for this exposed reef to really work.
Bottom line: there’s a long gap of almost no surf until the 25th. That Friday morning is the one to circle. After that, it fades again. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, take the one clean session and be glad for it.

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.
