The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – looking at the next couple of weeks for our local spot, Moody Point, it’s a tough watch. This is a real flat spell we’re in, and honestly, there’s nothing to get excited about for a long time. We’re looking at a solid block of small, weak surf with a whole lot of nothing happening. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s one small comfort, but it won’t help the waves.
The first real glimmer of anything comes on the afternoon of Sunday, the 17th of August. There’s a pulse of 5ft swell from the south, with a period of 6 seconds. The energy finally bumps up to a moderate 237 (combined energy of all swells directed here), and the wind goes glassy, dead calm. That’s a rare combo for this exposed reef, and it could be a real window of clean, glassy conditions. The swell is a bit short-period, so it’s not going to have that heavy groundswell punch, but for a spot that’s been dead as a doornail, a clean 5ft on a reef is a pleasant surprise. This is a spot for advanced surfers only, and with it being inconsistent, you’ve got to be patient, but that afternoon session is the only true standout in the whole 16 days.
After that, it’s more of the same. The rest of the run is plagued by tiny, weak swells, mostly under 3ft, with cross-onshore winds chopping up what little bump there is. The energy is weak, often under 100. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Monday the 24th of August with a clean offshore wind from the WNW, but the swell is still just 2ft from the SE. It’s surfable but very ordinary, as the file says. The crowds are often an issue here, but honestly, with surf this poor, you’ll have the place to yourself.
Bottom line: If you’re a surfer, save your energy for the 17th of August. That glassy afternoon is the only time the stars align at Moody Point in this forecast. Otherwise, it’s a long wait.
Rusty.
