The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for your local stretch.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty quiet for Moody Point, a real mixed bag of small, messy waves and hardly any standouts. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about for the first week, with most days offering knee-high slop and onshore wind. The water is sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than the norm for this time of year, so that’s one small consolation.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't come until Thursday, 3rd of September, in the afternoon. A sudden increase in swell sees a 7ft SSE swell roll in with a light offshore wind from the NW, making for clean, lined-up waves. The combined energy jumps to 617 — that’s a solid pulse of power. But here’s the catch: at over 8ft, this is only for experienced surfers. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit of a bumpy, quick-hitting wave, but with offshore winds cleaning it up, it’s the best on offer by a long shot. Keep an eye on that window.
After that, it’s back to small, weak, and mostly choppy conditions until Friday, 11th of September. On Friday morning, it goes glassy with a 3ft SSE swell, but it’s only 5 seconds, so it’ll be weak and crumbly. The afternoon picks up a bit with a light offshore from the WNW and a 4ft SSE swell, surfable but nothing special.
The true standout of the whole forecast is Saturday, 12th of September, in the morning. A 4ft S swell, with a clean 6-second period, and a gentle offshore wind from the WNW. The combined energy is 217, which is a moderate, workable amount of push. The wind is offshore, the waves will be clean, and it’s a manageable size — not too big for intermediate surfers, not too small for a fun session. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The afternoon fades back to smaller, weaker surf.
The final week drops off into tiny, gutless waves with very little energy, mostly below 2ft. There’s a glassy morning on Monday, 14th of September, but with a 1ft swell, it’s barely a ripple.
So, to sum it up: the best bet is the Thursday afternoon, 3rd of September, if you’re a seasoned charger, but for the best all-round, clean, fun waves, get out there on Saturday morning, 12th of September.
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.
