The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s a pretty grim stretch for Moody Point. We’ve got a real flat spell on our hands, with most days offering nothing worth paddling out for. The first real chance of anything even remotely surfable doesn’t show up until Sunday the 19th, and even then, it’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment.
There’s a long gap of poor conditions from Friday the 17th right through the following week. We finally see a tiny pulse on Sunday morning the 19th, with a 0.9m swell from the SSE, period a short 6 seconds. Winds are offshore from the WNW at 25 km/h, which will keep it clean, but the wave energy is weak (74) and the size is tiny. It’s surfable, but only just. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The next slight glimmer doesn’t come until Wednesday the 30th, when the afternoon glass off with a light northerly wind and a 0.6m SE swell at 7 seconds. The energy is still weak (64), and it’s just ordinary conditions. Nothing to get excited about.
There’s no standout day in this whole forecast. The best you’ll get is a small, clean window on the 19th morning, but it’s barely a wave. If you’re a beginner, this is all too small anyway. For the experienced crew, it’s a skip. Honestly, this stretch looks more interesting for the kite surfers than for paddle surfing, with that choppy, wind-affected slop later in the week.
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.
