The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I’ve given Moody Point a hard look for the next 16 days, gotta say – it’s a long wait between drinks.
The first week is a real bust. From Friday, August 21 through Sunday, August 30, you’re looking at nearly ten days of poor surf. Swell heights barely break 1.0ft to 2ft, periods are short – 4 to 8 seconds – and the combined energy tops out at 105 (moderate) but mostly sits in the weak 20–60 range. It’s small, weak, and messy.
The only breather in that first stretch comes on Monday afternoon, August 24: a tiny 2ft SE swell with a 6‑second period, cleaned up by a light west wind blowing cross‑off. It’s called “surfable but very ordinary” – maybe a waist‑high closeout if you’re desperate.
Things perk up a little on Friday, August 28. Both morning and afternoon go glassy – flat calm wind – with a 2ft SE swell, period 8‑9 seconds and combined energy of 51–65. That’s the pick of the entire run. Saturday morning, August 29, also holds clean with a 2ft SE swell and a cross‑off north‑northeast breeze. For a couple of days you might get some clean little reef runners, but still small.
Then it’s back to the doldrums. From Sunday, August 30 through Saturday, September 5, it’s poor again. Waves drop to 1ft or less, periods as low as 4 seconds, and onshore or cross‑onshore winds add chop. Combined energy falls to 12‑46. Even a decent offshore breeze on September 2 afternoon (northwest 15 mph) can’t turn it around.
If you’ve gotta paddle out, aim for that glassy Friday, August 28. For everything else, this is a classic Moody Point dry spell. Stay patient.

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.
