The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the cards for Moody Point.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. The forecast is looking pretty flat and messy for the next couple of weeks. There's a big gap with no real surf to speak of right through until we get to the 14th of August. That's a solid two-week dry spell where the swell just isn't showing up with any juice.
Moody Point is a reef setup, so it needs a proper swell to get going, and it's just not getting it. The swell energy is weak, barely cracking 60 (combined energy of all swells directed here) for most of the period, and the direction is mostly from the SSE or SE, which isn't ideal for this spot. The period is short, around 5 to 8 seconds, so it's all wind slop, not groundswell.
The water temp is sitting at 64°F right now, which is about 2°F cooler than average for this time of year. Nothing crazy, just a touch on the chilly side.
Now, the only glimmer of hope in this whole outlook is the morning of Friday, the 14th of August. We get a little bump in swell height to 5ft from the SSE, with a period of 6 seconds. The energy climbs to 137 (combined energy of all swells directed here), which is moderate. The real kicker is the wind – it's glassy, dead calm from the SE. That's about as clean as it gets. The waves will be surfable, but the conditions are still described as "very ordinary." It's not a standout, but it's the only window where you might get a few fun ones if you're desperate. The afternoon of the 14th gets a bit bigger at 6ft, but the wind swings onshore and chops it up. If you're an expert, you could maybe score a few on the morning glass-off, but it's not going to be classic.
After that, the 15th of August has another glassy morning, but the swell drops right back to 2ft and 8 seconds. The energy is back down to 60 (combined energy of all swells directed here). It's clean, but tiny.
Overall, it's a grim outlook. With the swell being so small and inconsistent, and the winds being mostly onshore or cross-shore, there's very little to get excited about. If you're in the area, maybe keep an eye on the morning of the 14th of August for a chance at a clean, small wave session. Other than that, it's a waiting game.
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.
