The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking pretty grim out there for a while. The one and only spot in the forecast is Moody Point, and honestly, the surf is going to be a real struggle for most of the period. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing, starting with a dead run of tiny, weak, and messy conditions.

From Tuesday the 25th of August all the way through to the end of the month, it’s a write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly around 2ft to 3ft coming out of the SE, but the wind is a constant problem. It’s cross-on, onshore, or just cross, and it’s making a mess of things. The energy is way low, coming in as weak and often well under 100 (43 to 128). The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s average.

You get a bit of a tease on Saturday the 29th of August. Early morning, the wind goes glassy, and there’s a small 3ft SE swell. The energy is still weak (76), and the waves are “surfable but very ordinary.” You might get a couple of knee-highers with a bit of shape, but don’t expect any quality. The crowds at Moody Point are often there, so even that small window might feel a bit busy for what’s on offer.

Then we hit another dry spell. Sunday and Monday are back to poor conditions, with onshore winds and weak, short-period swell. The wind goes cross-off on Tuesday the 1st of September, but the swell drops to 1ft. It’s clean, but it’s tiny. The energy is still weak (97), and the period is a long 15 seconds, which is a groundswell – but at that size, it’s barely a ripple.

The best chance in the whole 16-day window, and I say this with very little enthusiasm, is the morning of Thursday the 3rd of September. The wind is cross-off out of the NNE, keeping it clean. The swell is 2ft from the SE, with a period of 10 seconds. The energy is still weak (87), but it’s the best combined wind and swell we see. Don’t get your hopes up, it’s a longboard or a foiling day at best.

We get a tiny bump in energy around Saturday the 5th of September, with the swell hitting 3ft and the energy climbing to 149 (moderate), but the wind is all cross or cross-on, and the period is a short 10 seconds. It’s still just poor surf conditions.

The very end of the run, on Wednesday the 9th of September, shows a clean, offshore wind out of the NW, but the swell is a weak 3ft from the SSE with a period of only 5 seconds. That’s desperate.

So, to sum it up: there isn’t a single standout session in this whole forecast. The best you could hope for is the glassy dawn patrol on Saturday the 29th of August, or the clean but tiny morning on Thursday the 3rd of September. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you might get a few 2ft – 3ft waves on the morning of the 3rd, but it’s nothing to write home about. For the rest of it, leave the board in the car and have a coffee.

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.
