The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for this stretch.
Alright, straight up – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle session. There’s a bit of energy coming through, but it’s mostly weak and poorly timed. We’ve got a long gap of nothing to start with, then a few moments where it might be worth a look, but you’ll have to be patient.
The first sniff of anything rideable shows up on Thursday, September 3rd, at Moody Point. It’s a shallow reef setup, so you need to know what you’re doing – this is an advanced spot. The swell is coming from the SSE at 5ft, but the period is a short, choppy 6 seconds. That’s wind swell, not the good stuff. The wind is a cross-shore from the SSW at 9 mph, kicking up a cross-chop, so it’s pretty messy. The combined energy is moderate (162), but the conditions are poor. Not worth the drive for most.
The real standout, if you can call it that, is Friday morning, September 4th. The wind swings offshore from the NNW at a light 3 mph, and the swell direction is ESE at 3ft with a 7-second period. The energy is weak (80), but the wind is offshore and the waves are clean. It’s small, gutless, and inconsistent, but for a patient, skilled surfer on a reef, it might just offer a few clean little lines. The best of the bunch.
Friday afternoon on the 4th? Glassy. The wind goes dead calm (NW at 3 mph, glassy), the swell is the same ESE 3ft at 7 seconds. The combined energy is still weak (96). It’s tiny and clean, but I wouldn’t paddle out expecting much push. For a log or a mid-length, maybe.
Saturday morning, September 5th, gets a bit stronger but the wind is howling from the north at 12 mph. The swell is ENE at 3ft with a 5-second period. Not good. The combined energy is weak (84). The wind is cross-offshore, but it’s strong enough to mess with the surface. Better suited for a kite than a paddle.
Sunday morning, September 6th, has the biggest combined energy of the whole run – 286 – with a swell from the ENE at 4ft and a 7-second period. But the wind is still a strong cross-offshore from the north at 16 mph. The waves are probably lumpy and blown out. It’s a marginal, questionable call.
After that, it tails off into tiny, weak, and mostly onshore or choppy for the rest of the outlook. The second week is a bust. By Monday, September 14th, we’re looking at 0.7ft swell with glassy wind, but it’s basically flat. Nothing to get excited about.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, no big anomaly, so you won’t need a thicker suit just yet.
Bottom line: The best shot is Friday morning, September 4th, at Moody Point – small, clean, offshore, but inconsistent and for experts only. If you miss that, you’re waiting for a very long time.
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.
