The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this out, not much to work with here.
Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – the next 16 days are a bit of a write-off for Moody Point. There’s really no good surf on offer for the whole run. The first recommendation doesn’t even pop up until the 23rd of July, and even then it’s only just barely surfable.
We’ve got a long gap from now, the 17th of July, all the way through to the 23rd. That’s a solid week of flat, weak energy with poor conditions. The water’s sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing worth noting.
On the morning of Thursday the 23rd of July, we finally see a pulse of energy. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the SE, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy hits 152 (moderate), which is the most we’ll see. Winds are light and cross-shore, so it’s a bit lumpy but not terrible. Then into the afternoon, the wind swings WNW and goes offshore, cleaning things right up. The swell drops a touch to 3ft from the SE, period 8 seconds, with combined energy of 135 (moderate). The report calls it “surfable but very ordinary.” It’s not a standout, but it’s the best we’ll get. For a tricky reef break that’s inconsistent and only for advanced surfers, it’s not exactly a call to arms.
A bit later, on the 29th of July, we get another small window. Wednesday morning brings a 2ft swell from the E with a period of 10 seconds, combined energy of 112 (moderate). Winds are light and cross-shore. By the afternoon, the wind is cross-offshore from the WSW, cleaning it up, but the swell stays at 2ft. It’s surfable, but again, very ordinary.
The rest of the period is dominated by tiny swell, short periods, and onshore or cross-onshore winds. It’s a bleak run. For a spot that’s exposed to the SE but regularly fussy, this kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area. Don’t hold your breath.

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.
