The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the coming weeks.
Right now, the surf is a bit flat. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions through the middle of the month. The first real chance of anything worth paddling out for is on Monday, September 25th. Up until then, you're looking at a good week-plus of tiny, short-period dribble with mostly onshore or cross-shore breezes. Not worth getting the wetsuit damp for.
Monday, September 25th gives us a little glimmer. It's a day that stands out as the best of a quiet bunch. The swell is tiny, only about 3ft from the ESE, but the magic is the wind. We're talking glassy conditions by Friday afternoon. That's a rare treat for Moody Point. The combined energy is still low, reading 57, so it's not powerful, but for a tiny, clean wave, it's your best bet for a quiet, fun session. Just don't expect much push.
Then, things start to look more interesting for the following weekend. Sunday, September 27th is the real standout. The swell builds to a consistent 3ft from the East, with a period stretching out to 11 seconds. That's proper groundswell energy starting to show, with the combined energy jumping up to 239 in the morning and 273 in the afternoon. The afternoon sees moderate offshore winds from the NW, cleaning it right up. This is the one to circle on the calendar. It's not huge, but for Moody Point, that's a solid, workable wave with good shape and clean conditions.
Monday, September 28th will still have some size, around 2ft from the East with that same 11-second period, but the wind swings cross-shore and the energy drops away. It'll be surfable, but not as clean as the day before.
To sum it up: the first week and a half are a write-off. The pick of the entire forecast is Sunday afternoon, September 27th. A solid 3ft of east swell with 11-second intervals and clean offshore wind. That's your session.
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.
