The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s your local surf reporter Rusty. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin' over the next 16 days.
The first window of rideable surf kicks off bright and early on Thursday, July 23rd, but it’s a real mixed bag. We’ve got a small, short-period swell from the SE running 3ft, and the combined energy is weak (91). The early morning at Moody Point (Moody Point) is worth a look because the wind is light and offshore from the WNW—that’ll keep the surface clean. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there. But this is a tricky reef setup that’s inconsistent and only for advanced surfers, and crowds are often a factor. The swell direction is right on the money from the SE, but the period is only 8 seconds, so it won’t have much push.
By Thursday afternoon, the wind swings onshore from the S at 15 km/h, and conditions get choppy and messy. The swell picks up a touch to 4ft, but combined energy is moderate (261), and the quality is poor.
Friday, July 24th through to Sunday, July 26th is a real flat spell. Swell drops to 2ft–2ft with a short 7-second period, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore. Combined energy is weak (43–74). Not worth paddling out.
Monday, July 27th through to Wednesday, July 29th stays small with poor quality. The wind is either cross-onshore or onshore, and the wave heights are stuck around 2ft–4ft. The best of this stretch is Wednesday morning, July 29th, with 4ft from the SE and 8-second period, but the ENE cross-onshore breeze at 10 km/h keeps it bumpy. Combined energy is moderate (152). Still not a standout.
Thursday, July 30th is dead flat with 2ft and glassy conditions in the morning, but there’s just no power. Combined energy is weak (49).
The first real highlight arrives on Friday, July 31st in the morning. Clear skies, a light 10 km/h cross-offshore breeze from the WSW, and the swell is 2ft from the SSE with a 9-second period. Combined energy is weak (57), but the conditions are clean. Still, it’s inconsistent and small, so only the most dedicated advanced crew will be tempted.
After that, we slide back into small, poor surf from Saturday, August 1st to Tuesday, August 4th. Heights are 2ft–4ft with mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. The afternoon of Monday, August 3rd sees a 4ft SSE swell with 7-second period and moderate energy (122), but the 20 km/h south wind chops it up badly.
Wednesday, August 5th through Friday, August 7th is the tail end of the forecast—tiny, weak, and mostly poor. The best chance is Thursday morning, August 6th, with glassy conditions but only 1ft of swell and combined energy a measly 19. Not really surfable.
Overall, the best on offer is Thursday morning, July 23rd. It’s small, clean, and the swell direction is perfect, but it’s not a standout. The rest of the period is a long stretch of poor to flat conditions. For a reef that’s inconsistent and rarely fires, this is a pretty typical blank run. Don’t get your hopes up, but forecasts can change.
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.
