The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s be straight with you. I’ve looked over the next 16 days, and I’ve got to be honest – it’s a tough stretch for Moody Point. The whole period is a write-off. There isn’t a single session that’s worth paddling out for. The data shows every single entry with "poor surf conditions" and a score of zero, so we’re looking at a full gap from the 31st of July right through to the 15th of August with no real surf on offer.
The water temp at the start is sitting at 64°, which is about 1° cooler than the long-term average for this time of year. That’s nothing unusual, just a touch on the chilly side, but nothing to get worked up about.
The problem is simple: no swell energy. The combined energy figures are all weak – two-digit numbers like 53, 41, 28, all the way down to single digits. That’s barely a ripple. The swell heights are tiny, mostly 0.7ft to 2ft, and the periods are short, generally under 10 seconds. Even when the wind goes glassy or offshore, like on the 9th of August afternoon with that glassy condition and a 1ft swell, there’s just no wave to work with.
The wind is often cross-on or onshore, which would chop up what little swell there is anyway. On the 12th of August morning, there’s a clean cross-off breeze with a little 3ft swell from the south, but the period is only 4 seconds – that’s pure wind chop, not a proper wave. It’s not going to hold up.
For a reef break that’s inconsistent and exposed to the SE, this is a classic blank run. Moody Point is an advanced spot, so when it’s flat, it’s flat. There’s no point in getting your hopes up for this stretch. Keep an eye on the forecasts though – it tends not to stay this quiet forever.

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.
