The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what Moody Point’s got cooking over the next couple weeks in feet and Fahrenheit.
Honestly, the outlook is a tough one for Moody Point. There’s a huge, frustrating gap of nothing but poor surf conditions and tiny swell starting on Tuesday, 18th August, and stretching all the way to the morning of Thursday, 27th August. Waves are small, weak, and the wind is messy most of the time. The energy readings are low, well under 100 most days (19 to 68), meaning the ocean is flat or barely holding together. You’ll get some clean moments on Sunday the 23rd afternoon and Monday the 24th, but with swell only 0.7ft to 1.0ft from the SE, with a long period just over 11 seconds, it’s not worth the effort for a paddle.
The first real burst of energy finally arrives Thursday morning, 27th August. Swell jumps to 5ft from the ESE, with a moderate 177 on the energy meter. But here’s the letdown – the wind is a moderate SSW 12 mph cross-shore, putting chop all over the surface. It’s messy and better suited to kiting than paddling. The same kind of slope continues Friday the 28th with decent energy (113–102) but the wind stays cross-on and ugly.
Now, the standout day: Saturday morning, 29th August. The wind clocks to NE at just 3 mph and goes glassy. Swell is a clean 2ft out of the SE, pushing 8-second period. That’s small but beautiful and clean – perfect for a longboard. The combined wave energy runs a moderate 117. That glassy session is the best on offer. Early start is the call.
After that, Sunday the 30th afternoon looks glassy again but with only 2ft of swell, and Monday the 31st morning has a pulse of 4ft from the ENE (energy 188) but cross-shore wind ruins the party.
On the water temp side: on the first day, 18th August, the water is sitting at 67° – right on average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Bottom line: Mark Saturday morning, 29th August in your book. Glassy, clean, small but workable. The rest is a long stretch of waiting for the ocean to wake up.
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.
