The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get real about the outlook for Moody Point.
Over the next 16 days, this spot is living up to its name. For the first week and a bit, it’s a tough run of small, weak, and mostly onshore junk. There’s a significant gap from now until the start of September with barely a whisper of quality. The first real sign of life doesn't show up until Wednesday morning, 2nd September, and even then it's just the start.
The standout window is clearly Thursday the 3rd of September. We get a spike in size and power. The morning session is the one to chase – glassy conditions with a solid 5ft of SE groundswell (combined energy of 1822) rolling in. That’s a long-period swell, 16 seconds, which means proper energy and clean lines peeling down that reef. It’s advanced territory though; anything over 8ft is expert-only, and 5ft is still plenty punchy for most. The afternoon gets a bit dicey with an onshore breeze creeping in, but that morning window is the clear winner for anyone who can handle it.
Before that, the entire first week is pretty much a write-off. Small, weak swells with combined energy values barely cracking 100, and the wind is almost always cross-on or worse. A brief moment on Saturday the 29th of August morning offered clean offshore NW wind with a 2ft SE swell, but it’s tiny and inconsistent. Not worth getting excited about.
After the Thursday peak, things drop off fast. The 4th of September is still respectable – Friday morning with a clean 4ft SW groundswell and offshore WNW wind – but the energy is way down (542). After that, it’s back to poor surf and tiny conditions for the rest of the run.
Bottom line: The entire 16-day window is a long wait for that one glassy, autumn-like Thursday morning. If you’re an experienced surfer, it’s your window. Beginners should sit this whole period out. Crowds at Moody Point are often an issue, and they’ll likely be on that Thursday morning too.

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.
