The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, switching it up for the imperial crew.
We’re in a real dry spell for the next stretch. Over a week of nothing worth mentioning in the water.
Starting Thursday the 10th, we’ve got a weak 3ft SSE swell at 6 seconds, energy is a low 86, with a cross-off breeze – not doing anything. Friday the 11th is even smaller, but you get a clean offshore wind from the NW with a tiny 1ft SE groundswell at 10 seconds. Glassy, but you’d be lucky to get a ride. Saturday and Sunday the 12th and 13th are all small and onshore chop.
Monday the 14th morning goes glassy with a 1ft SE swell (30 energy), but it’s barely a bump. Tuesday the 15th afternoon gets a fresh cross-on south wind and a 4ft SSE windswell (106 energy) – lumpy and ugly.
The only real window opens Wednesday the 23rd of September. Moody Point gets a 5ft ESE swell at 9 seconds, with energy jumping to 368 in the morning and 383 in the afternoon. That’s the first real power of the whole forecast. The wind is light onshore from the SE, so it’ll be a bit bumpy but very surfable. Thursday the 24th holds with 5ft and 4ft ESE swells (341 and 302 energy) and light cross and cross-on breezes.
So, the standout is Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th. The ESE direction isn’t the absolute best for Moody Point (it prefers SE), but the size and energy make it the pick of the litter. Water temp is normal for the season. Crowds are often here, so expect some company.
For beginners, that 5ft stuff is going to be too much. For experienced surfers, it’s the only real action. Long gaps between sets from that 9-second period will keep it from getting too hectic.
Bottom line: a long dead period, then a solid little pulse right at the end of the run.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
