The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Moody Point are looking pretty bleak. We've got a whole lot of days with tiny waves and iffy conditions. The best I can see is a brief window around midweek next week where things get a little less terrible, but we’re not talking about classic surf by any stretch. The water temp is hovering around 65°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
Right now through this whole week, it’s a bust. Lots of 0.7ft dribble with short, weak period. The wind is all over the place, mostly onshore or cross-shore, keeping things messy and blown out. By Thursday the 10th, we get a little bump – the morning shows a clean 4ft wave from the SSE, and the combined energy climbs to 108 (moderate energy) with a cross-offshore wind. That might look a bit clean, but the period is only 6 seconds, so it’ll be weak and fat. Still, it’s the best of a bad week.
Everything after that just fades back into the doldrums. On Wednesday the 16th, there’s a flicker of life: a clean 3ft from the ESE with a 6-second period and cross-offshore wind. The wave comment calls it "surfable but very ordinary" – that’s about the most positive thing I can say. The all-day window offers clean surf, but with combined energy only around 55–69 (weak to moderate), it’s not going to bowl you over.
The end of the month has a few glassy mornings with minor swell, but absolutely nothing with any push. Unless you’re desperate to stand on a board in ankle-high slop, you’re better off waiting. For a reef break like this, you want a decent groundswell with some period – and we’re not getting it. This setup looks more interesting for a paddle around than a proper surf.
Overall, no standout days. If you’re set on paddling out, Thursday morning the 10th is your best bet for a few weak, clean waves. Otherwise, keep your eye on the charts – it tends not to stay poor for long.

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.
