The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. We've got one spot on the radar for the next 16 days, and it's a tough one. Moody Point is a tricky reef break that only the advanced crew should even think about, and even then, the forecast is a long, slow grind.
Right off the bat, we're looking at a real dry spell. From now, the 3rd of August, right through until the 7th of August, the surf is tiny and the conditions are ugly. Don't bother paddling out. The 3rd has a bit of knee-high swell from the southeast, but it's cross-on with moderate rain and a storm risk. The combined wave energy is a weak 41, so there's just no power in the water. The 4th offers a cleaner window with light offshore winds, but the swell drops to 2ft, so it's a total non-event.
The first real glimpse of anything surfable comes on the afternoon of Friday, the 7th of August. We see a small 2ft swell from the south, with a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the west, giving us clean conditions. The wave energy bumps up a bit to 62, but it's still very marginal. It's a "surfable but very ordinary" situation, and I'd only call it a 1 out of 10. If you're desperate, you can get a wet suit on, but don't expect much.
The second week is more of the same. We get a glassy morning on Saturday the 8th with a tiny 1.0ft SE swell, but the energy is a pathetic 16. It's a beautiful morning, but there's no wave to ride. The rest of the week is a mix of clean offshore winds and tiny, gutless swell. Tuesday the 11th has a shot of moderate offshore wind from the northwest with a 1ft easterly swell, but it's still just a ripple. By the 12th and 13th, we get a very long period groundswell from the southeast (14 seconds), but the wave height is only 0.3ft. That's just a long-period bump on the tide, not a wave you can ride. The energy is in the single digits or low teens.
Honestly, there is no standout, no gem to chase. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for Moody Point. The reef is too exposed and the swell windows are just not lining up. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there. For a break that's already inconsistent, this blank run is pretty normal. It's a tough stretch, but forecasts can change. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, I'd say dust off the longboard and find a lake, because Moody Point isn't giving us anything.
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.
