The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into the outlook for Moody Point.
Mate, to be honest, it's a tough stretch ahead. Looking right through the next two weeks, the swell is tiny and the conditions are mostly ordinary. There’s no real punch anywhere in the forecast. The water is sitting at a touch warmer than average for the time of year, about 65°F, but that's small comfort when the surf is this flat. The combined swell energy is weak for the whole period, mostly well under 100, so don't expect any grunt.
We start things off on Thursday the 3rd of September. Thursday morning is a write-off with light rain and onshore wind, only 2ft of weak SE swell and a combined energy of just 55. The afternoon sees a bit of wind shift to offshore from the NW at 6 mph, bumping the wave comment to "surfable," but the swell is still tiny at 3ft and the period is a short, weak 5 seconds. It's ordinary, mate.
Friday the 4th of September morning is the closest thing we have to a highlight, and I'm being generous. Moody Point (reef) gets a glassy 3ft from the ESE with a 7-second period and a combined energy of 61. The wind is glass, dead off the SSW at 3 mph, so it will be clean as a whistle. But it's tiny. If you're desperate for a paddle and a few knee-slappers, that's your window. The afternoon turns cloudy with the wind swinging onshore, ruining it.
Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th of September are both average. Saturday has 2ft with cross-off winds, not doing anyone any favors. The combined energy drops to 43. Sunday morning shows a slight bump to 4ft from the ENE, the biggest of the whole outlook, with a combined energy of 125, but the wind is a strong 12 mph cross-off from the NNE, so it will be messy. Sunday afternoon goes dead calm and glassy, but the swell drops back to 2ft.
From Monday the 7th of September all the way through to the end of the outlook on Friday the 18th of September, it's a long, flat run. We're talking weeks of combined energy values mostly below 50, with tiny swells between 0.3ft and 2ft. Winds are all over the shop but generally onshore or cross-shore, and often strong. A few mornings show clean conditions, but with no swell to push, it doesn't matter. This is a full-on desert period for surf around here.
So, to sum it up: the only remotely worthwhile surf is a small, clean window on Friday morning the 4th of September. Don't expect much. Everything else is a hard pass.
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.
