The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. The forecast for Moody Point is pretty grim. We’re looking at a long, long dry spell with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The first bit of surf that’s even worth mentioning doesn’t show up until Friday the 21st of August, and even then, it’s only just surfable. Before that, it’s days of flat, poor conditions. From the 14th right through to the 21st, you’re better off keeping the board in the car.
The water temp is sitting at 69°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a small comfort if you do get wet.
Alright, let’s get into the only real glimmer of hope. The standout, if you can even call it that, is on Sunday the 23rd of August. We’ve got a little pulse of energy coming through. The morning shows a 3 ft swell from the east with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate (103). The wind is a light north-westerly, keeping it clean with a cross-offshore breeze. The afternoon stays clean with a light north-easterly, though the swell drops to 3 ft. It’s not going to be world-class, but it’s the best we’ve got. Moody Point is a reef break, so it’s for advanced surfers only, and it’s inconsistent, so don’t expect a wave every minute. The crowds can be an issue here too, so you might have some company.
For the rest of the second week, you get a few more mornings with clean conditions and small swell, but nothing that’ll get your heart racing. The 25th has a clean 2 ft from the ESE, and the 28th has a tiny bit of energy with a 2 ft SE swell, but the wind is howling offshore at 12 mph, which will keep it clean but small.
Bottom line: there’s no real fire here. The best bet is that Sunday the 23rd, but keep your expectations low. It’s a drought, but forecasts can change. For now, this is a tough one.
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.
