The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get into it.
Well, I gotta be straight with you. The next 16 days at Moody Point are looking pretty grim. There's a real long stretch of nothing special here. The first sniff of anything rideable isn't even until Wednesday morning, July 22nd, and even then, it's a real struggle. We're looking at a week and a half of mostly poor conditions before we get a tiny window of something decent.
The water is absolutely freezing right now, much colder than normal for this time of year, which is a real bummer if you're planning a session. The combined swell energy is weak (270) to start, and it's mostly just messy, short-period windswell.
Let's walk through it. The first few days, from Wednesday the 22nd right through to the end of the month, are just a write-off. We're talking small, weak swell with a period of 7 seconds or less, constantly getting chopped up by onshore or cross-onshore winds. It's small, it's ugly, and it's not worth paddling out for. The combined energy is mostly in the 50-90 range, which is just not enough to get excited about.
There is one little glimmer. On Tuesday, July 28th, the wind goes glassy in the morning and then clean cross-off in the afternoon. The swell is still small, only 4ft from the SE, but the combined energy bumps up to a moderate 135 and then 194. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it won't be a world-beater, but at least it'll be clean. That's your best bet in the whole outlook, but it's still just "ordinary" conditions.
After that brief window, it's back to the doldrums. The first week of August offers nothing. There's a tiny flash of a clean cross-off wind on Tuesday, August 4th, but the swell is only 2ft and the energy is weak (64). Not enough to get on.
Honestly, for the whole 16 days, the only session that might be worth a look is the glassy morning on the 28th. It's not a standout, it's just the least-bad option. The rest of the time, the wind is wrong, the swell is tiny, or both. If you're desperate, keep an eye on that Tuesday, but don't hold your breath.
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.
