The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's on the table at Moody Point. We've got a bit of a wait here, so don't rush down right now. The first few days are a real struggle – just tiny, weak swell and pretty ordinary conditions. We're looking at a bit of a dry spell until we get a pulse of energy rolling in.
The real standout here is shaping up for Thursday, September 3rd. That afternoon looks like the best bet of the whole window. We’ll see head-high sets around 5.9 ft pushing in from the SE, and what’s got me excited is the clean, offshore breeze from the NW. The swell period is short at 7 seconds, so it won't be the most powerful thing, but the combined swell energy is a solid (344). This is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s a reef break for advanced crew only, and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll need patience. Crowds are a real possibility here.
Friday, September 4th is a solid follow-up. The swell drops a touch to 3.9 ft - 4.3 ft from the ESE, but we still have that NW offshore wind keeping things clean. The energy is moderate (201) and the period is still short at 8 seconds. It's not quite the same quality as the day before, but a good session if you missed the peak.
Water temp is about average for the time of year.
After that, things start to fade again. We get smaller waves through the weekend and into the start of the next week. A small pulse of 4.6 ft from the ESE on Monday the 7th afternoon is there, but it's a short period affair. By Tuesday, September 8th, we see some size bumping up to 5.6 ft from the ESE with a solid energy reading (347), but the wind turns cross-onshore, putting a chop on the face. That's more of a windy, lumpy day than clean surfing. Things get messy from there, with onshore winds and small, weak surf dominating the rest of the outlook.
So, bottom line: wait for Thursday the 3rd. That’s your best shot at something memorable.

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.
