The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days at Moody Point are a tough pill to swallow. This is a real dry spell we're looking at. There's a long stretch of nothing worth paddling out for, so if you're feeling desperate, maybe just give it a rest for a while.
The outlook kicks off on Saturday, the 5th of September, but I wouldn't bother. We're talking tiny, weak swell around 2 ft from the ESE with a short, weak period of 8 seconds and combined energy is a measly 51. The wind is a messy cross from the NE. It's just not surfable.
Sunday morning the 6th is the only half-glimmer in this whole window. We get a jump in combined energy to 122 (moderate), with the swell bumping up to 3 ft from the east at 8 seconds. The wind goes light and cross-off from the north, which cleans things up nicely. It's "surfable but ordinary" – you might get a few grovelly ones, but don't expect much. By the afternoon, the wind swings back onshore and the whole thing falls apart.
From Monday the 7th right through to the 19th of September, it's just dead. We're talking swell heights barely ticking over 1 ft, combined energy dropping into the low teens and twenties – weak stuff. There's a glassy morning on the 12th, but with only 0.7 ft of swell, even a glassy surface won't save it. The 10th of September has a blustery NW wind at 15 mph that cleans it up, but again, it's for a 1 ft wave. It's less surfing and more floating.
We finally see a pulse on the 20th of September – a Sunday. Swell picks up to 3 ft from the SE, period is a short 6 seconds, and combined energy hits a moderate 112. But the wind is a cross 9 mph from the NE, and the conditions are just "gentle cross-shore with slight cross-chop". Still rated as poor. It's not the answer.
Honestly, this is a classic case of an inconsistent, exposed reef break getting no love from the ocean for weeks. For a spot like Moody Point that's already advanced and rarely breaks, a blank run like this is pretty normal. If you're really jonesing, the Sunday morning of the 6th is your only real window to get wet, and even then, keep your expectations on the floor. Otherwise, save your energy.
That's the report from your man on the sand.

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.
