Table - best surf conditions forecast for Moody Point over the next 16 days.
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's take a look at the surf ahead, in feet and knots for the crew who think that way.
It's a tough outlook. There's a massive gap of dead flat or crummy conditions before we see anything with a pulse. The first real chance of a wave doesn't roll in until Tuesday, July 21st. Before that, you're looking at nearly a week of tiny, rubbish surf.
The only day that even deserves a mention is the morning of Tuesday, July 21st. The combined energy of all swells directed here is 622, which is moderate to strong. The swell will be around 7ft (2.0m) from the S, with a short period of 7 seconds. That's wind swell, so it's going to be a bit bumpy and lack that grunt. The wind will be light cross-onshore from the E at about 6 knots, which is okay, but it won't be glassy. This is Moody Point, an exposed reef that's only for the advanced surfers, and it's often busy. At 7ft, it's solidly in expert territory—don't go near it if you're not confident.
The water temp is 66°F, which is a touch warmer than average for July, so a 3/2 wetsuit should do.
After that, it's all downhill again. The afternoons of the 21st and the 22nd still have some size but are messy with cross-onshore winds. By the 23rd, it's back to tiny waves in the 2–3ft range, with clean conditions that afternoon but simply not enough juice. The rest of the two weeks fades into nothingness.
The single standout is that Tuesday, July 21st morning session, and I'm being generous calling it a standout. For the average surfer, it's a week off. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the gear in the car.
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.
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.
