The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this is one of those outlooks where we’re just going to have to be patient. Let’s see what we’re working with.
The only break the forecast is really talking about is Moody Point. It’s a tricky reef setup for advanced surfers only, and it’s inconsistent. The good news is, it’s exposed to the SE swell that’s on offer. The bad news is… there’s almost no good news for at least the next two weeks.
We’re looking at a long, flat run. The whole first week, from Friday the 24th of July right through to Friday the 31st of July, is a washout. The swell stays tiny, mostly around 1 ft to 3 ft, and the period is painfully short – 5 to 7 seconds. That’s just wind slop, not real surf. The combined energy is weak all week, mostly in the 40s, 50s, and 60s range. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore out of the SSE or SE, which just chops everything up. The water’s a frigid 59 °F, which is over 6 °F colder than normal for this time of year – absolutely unusual and you’d want a thick wetsuit if you were even thinking about paddling out.
This run of poor conditions carries right through the first week of August. There’s a slight glimmer on Thursday the 30th of July when the wind goes cross-offshore from the NNE, and the period bumps up to 11 seconds, but the swell is only 1 ft. The system says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – which is about as generous as it gets. For a rare, inconsistent spot like Moody Point to have even a whisper of clean conditions is notable, but with that little height, it’s barely a ripple.
The only other moment that catches my eye is a glassy morning on Tuesday the 4th of August. The wind is dead calm, but again, we’re staring at 2 ft of swell with a period of 8 seconds and combined energy of just 35. It’s clean, but there’s just no punch. The same goes for Friday the 7th of August afternoon – glassy, but only 1.0 ft of swell.
Honestly, if you’re not an expert on this reef, this isn’t the time. The swell is too small and weak for the setup to work. For the experienced crew, the 30th of July might offer a clean, long-period ripple, but that’s about it. For everyone else, it’s a two-week blank. That’s not unusual for this area when it’s inconsistent. With consistent spots you’d stay optimistic, but here, this is pretty normal for a dry spell.
Stay tuned, forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the boards in the car.

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.
