Table - best surf conditions forecast for Moody Point over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – we’ve got a pretty grim outlook for the next 16 days. The one spot in the forecast, Moody Point, is an advanced reef break that’s exposed to the SE swell, but it's inconsistent and rarely breaks. Don’t get your hopes up.
For the first week, from Thursday afternoon the 9th all the way through to the end of the week, it’s a write-off. The swell is tiny, between 1ft and 3ft, with the combined wave energy never topping 99 (weak), and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, messing up any chance of a clean wave. The water temperature is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only positive.
We finally get a glimmer of something on Saturday the 18th. The afternoon shows a bit of a pulse with a 3ft SSE swell, and the wind turns light and cross-off, making for clean conditions. The combined energy is a weak 56, so it’s not powerful, but it’s surfable. That’s your best bet, and it’s not saying much. The swell period is a short 5 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy and weak.
After that, it’s back to the same old story. Tiny, weak swells with poor winds until the 24th. On the 24th, we get a late burst of clean conditions with a 2ft ESE swell and a cross-off wind, but again, the energy is weak (48) and the period is short (7 seconds). It’s a last-ditch effort but nothing to get excited about.
Honestly, this whole stretch looks like it’s better suited for a kite on a windy day than a surfboard. The consistent theme is lack of size and poor conditions. The only real standout, if you can call it that, is the afternoon of the 18th. Keep your eyes on the forecast, because it can’t stay this poor forever.
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.
Moody Point is 24 km (15 miles) from Sanford. If you plan a vacation in Maine, look for hotels and other accommodation in Sanford. Sanford has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
