The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. I’ll level with you – it’s a quiet stretch ahead for Moody Point. This is an advanced reef set-up that’s exposed to the swell but just isn’t seeing much love. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The pattern overall is small and pretty weak. We’re looking at a long, flat run of days where the swell barely gets going. From Thursday the 30th of July right through to about the 12th of August, the energy is mostly low, with combined energy readings hanging in the weak range (between 16 and 155). Most days are delivering poor surf conditions with cross-shore or onshore wind messing things up. There are a couple of afternoons – Thursday the 30th and Friday the 7th of August – where the wind turns cross-off and the waves clean up, but the swell is tiny, barely 3 ft. Not exactly getting the heart racing.
The best on offer, if you’re desperate for a paddle, is Saturday morning the 8th of August. It’s glassy – calm wind, no chop – and the swell is a weak 2 ft from the SE with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is 68, so it’s not powerful, but it’s rideable and clean. That’s about as good as it gets. The other tiny highlight is Thursday afternoon the 13th of August. Swell picks to 4 ft from the SE, but it’s onshore wind and the period is 12 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell for a reef, which could make it a bit straight. The combined energy is a moderate 645, so there’s some push, but the conditions are marginal and it’s for experts only at that size.
Honestly, it’s a lean period. If you’re not an advanced surfer, most of these days are too small or too messy. For the crew who kite, the afternoons with cross-on wind and some chop might look more interesting than paddling. I wouldn’t be locking in plans for Moody Point right now. Forecasts can change, but this is a pretty consistent blank run for the area.

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.
