The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up over the next fortnight or so around Moody Point. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough run. This is an advanced, exposed reef setup that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and the next 16 days don’t offer much to get excited about. There’s a big gap of poor conditions right through the first week and into the second, with only a couple of mornings that are barely worth a mention.

The outlook kicks off on Friday, 31 July, with a tiny 2 ft SSE swell rolling in, period a short 10 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 91, and the water temp is sitting at 64°F, which is about normal for this time of year. The morning starts glassy – that’s the one positive – but the swell is undersized and the conditions are just ordinary. It’s surfable, but only just.

From there, it’s a long, dry spell. From Friday afternoon all the way through to Saturday, 8 August, every session is rated poor. The swell stays small, mostly 1 ft to 3 ft, with short periods and cross-onshore winds messing things up. The combined energy rarely cracks 50. There’s a morning on Saturday, 8 August, with a clean cross-offshore wind from the west, but the swell is only 2 ft – not enough to make it worthwhile.

The first real standout – and I mean the only one worth paddling out for – comes on Sunday, 9 August. The morning brings a 3 ft swell from the south, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 117, so there’s moderate energy in the water. The wind is cross-offshore from the west-southwest at 15 km/h, which means clean conditions. It’s still an inconsistent reef, but for a moment there, the stars align. The swell direction is SSE, which is near the optimum SE direction for this spot, so it should wrap in decently. This is the best on offer – a brief window of clean, surfable waves.

After that, it’s back to the grind. Monday, 10 August through to Saturday, 15 August, sees nothing but poor conditions. Swells drop to 0.7 ft to 3 ft, periods are short, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or light. The combined energy is low, often below 50. The longest gap of no recommendations is from the afternoon of 9 August all the way through to the end of the forecast – a solid six days of nothing.

So, to sum it up: if you’re an advanced surfer who knows this inconsistent reef, the only window is the morning of Sunday, 9 August. Clean, moderate energy, and a bit of size. The rest of the period is a write-off for paddle surfing. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most days, given the small, messy swell and onshore wind. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a quiet run.

Stay patient, 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.
