Table - best surf conditions forecast for Moody Point over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a pretty bleak start. We're looking at a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about right through the first week and into the second. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly messy, and the energy is just pathetic. It's one of those periods where you might as well leave the boards in the garage. We're talking about a solid 13 days of poor surf conditions before anything remotely worth a paddle shows up.
The only real standout, and I mean the *only* one, is a big pulse of swell that's forecast to roll in around the 22nd of July. This is a serious shot of energy, with combined swell energy hitting a massive 1646 on the Wednesday morning. We're looking at a 12ft swell from the East, with a period of 9 seconds. That's a lot of water moving. Now, this is not for the faint-hearted. At over 8ft, this is strictly for the experts. The wind is forecast to be a gentle cross-onshore, so it'll be a bit lumpy and choppy, but the raw power will be there. The afternoon drops a little to 10ft, but with the wind picking up to a moderate breeze, it's going to get even messier. By the 23rd, the swell is still solid but dropping, and the wind is onshore and strong, making it a real battle.
Before that, there's a tiny window on the 24th of July where the swell drops to 3ft from the ESE, and the wind goes light and cross-offshore. The energy is weak at 179, but it might be clean enough for a longboard or a funboard if you're desperate. It's surfable, but very ordinary.
Moody Point is an advanced reef break that's inconsistent and often crowded, so when it's on, you're competing for waves. With this big swell, it's exposed and will be handling a lot of energy, but the cross-onshore wind will mean it's not the cleanest it could be.
If you're a beginner, stay well away from the 22nd. That's a proper large swell. For the rest of the period, the water temperature is about average for the time of year.
So, to sum it up: nearly two weeks of flatness, then one big, angry, expert-only pulse of swell around the 22nd of July. If you're a thrill-seeker, that's your window. For everyone else, keep waiting.
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.
