The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks.
Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this is a tough stretch. We’ve got a long, dry spell of flat and messy conditions. The first actual chance of a wave doesn’t show up until Thursday, July 30th, and even that’s not a home run. The rest of the 16 days is pretty much a bust.
We’re lookin’ at Moody Point, a reef break that’s inconsistent and gets hit from the SE. The water is a bone-chilling 59°, which is 6° colder than usual – that’s a very unusual cold snap, so you’ll need a thick wetsuit.
The first week is a total washout. From Saturday, July 25th through Wednesday, July 29th, it’s all tiny, weak swell with lousy onshore wind. The wave energy is pathetic, barely cracking 100 (combined energy of all swells directed here). It’s all short-period, wind-blown junk. Don’t even bother.
There’s one tiny window on Thursday morning, July 30th. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the ESE, with the energy hitting 215 (moderate). The wind goes cross-offshore from the NNE, cleaning it up. That’s your best shot of the whole period, but 4ft on a critical reef is advanced territory only. The period is 7 seconds, so it’s still a bumpy windswell, not a clean groundswell.
After that, it’s back to the same old story. The second week is tiny, weak, and blown out. Friday, August 7th, has a moment of glassy conditions but absolutely no swell to speak of – just a cruel joke.
So, if you’re keen, that Thursday morning is your only play. Otherwise, give it a miss and wait for a better set of charts.

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.
