The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here, let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
It's a pretty quiet outlook for Moody Point. This is a tricky reef setup that only works for advanced crew, and it's inconsistent at the best of times. Unfortunately, the next 16 days are looking lean. Water temp is sitting at 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The whole forecast period is a long stretch of near-flat conditions. For the first week, we're talking about tiny, weak energy, with the swell barely registering. The wind does clean up on a few mornings, like Tuesday the 12th with glassy conditions, and Thursday the 13th also glassy, but there's just nothing to surf. The waves are too small, even with offshore winds on a few occasions. This pattern holds all the way through the weekend and into the start of the next week.
We do see a slight bump on Monday the 17th of August. The morning brings a modest 4 ft swell from the south, with a short period of 6 seconds, and some gentle offshore winds from the WNW. The combined energy is weak (91). It's surfable, but very ordinary. The afternoon sees a bit more energy (168) but the wind swings to a cross-offshore.
After that, it's back to small, weak surf. The second week has a few more offshore wind windows, particularly on Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st, but the swell is barely 1 ft. The energy is pitiful, with values in the 30s. There's a brief moment of glassy conditions on Saturday the 22nd with a 1 ft wave, but it's not enough to get excited about.
Honestly, this is a tough one. There is no standout session here. The only real highlight is that small window on Monday the 17th, but even that's a marginal call. For a break that's already inconsistent, a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, I'd be looking for a different hobby for a while.
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.
Moody Point is 24 km (15 miles) from Sanford. If you plan a vacation in Maine, look for hotels and other accommodation in Sanford. Sanford has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
