The Lowdown
Alright, grab your wettie, let's take a look at what's on offer around Moody Point. First thing’s first, if you’ve been staring at the charts, I get it, it’s looking flat. Real flat. We’ve got a solid block of days with hardly a wave worth paddling for. We’re looking at a gap of about a week and a half before things even start to flicker with any kind of life. That run from the start right through to the 14th is mostly junk – we're talking ankle-biters. There’s a bit of a bump Monday afternoon the 3rd, but the wind is straight out of the S at 19 mph, cross-on and lumpy, making a mess of it. Not worth your time.
The energy is just dead in the water. Combined swell energy is often in the single digits or barely double-digit values (8, 13, 24), which is about as weak as it gets. The wind does go light and glassy on the morning of the 6th with a lot of slight air, but there's only 2ft of swell with a 6-second period. It’s a lake out there, not surf.
We do see the first real glimmer on the 14th. A bit more push showing up, 3ft at 7 seconds from the SSE, and energy climbs to 96. It’s still cross-on and light, but it’s something. Then the 18th brings the biggest pulse of the whole outlook. That Tuesday afternoon shows 4ft of S swell rolling in at 6 seconds. Now, that's short-period stuff, so it’s going to be a bit crumbly, but look at that combined energy – 254. That’s the most juice we’ve seen in this whole stretch. It’s still only a marginal call, but it’s got more on it than anything else.
For Moody Point, this spot is a reef, so it can handle a bit more direction, but it’s inconsistent. You aren't going to be fighting a crowd for the peak, even when it's on. It’s an advanced wave, and with 4ft at 6 seconds, it’ll be soft, but it’s the only game in town that even gets close to being worth a look. The wind is light at 6 mph, cross-on, so it won’t be perfect, but it’ll be the cleanest we’ve had in a while.
Bottom line: if you see a wave in the second week, and you're desperate, that Tuesday the 18th is your best bet. The water temp on that first day is 65°, which is 0.7° colder than average. Not a big deal, pretty much standard. But honestly, with this little swell and the amount of northerly wind we're seeing, this setup might be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The forecast can change, and a reef like this can light up quick, but right now it's a waiting game.

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.
