The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here with the lowdown on Moody Point. This stretch is mostly a dud, but there’s one session that’ll get your heart racing if you’re an advanced stick. The first few days are a wash: Saturday the 18th, you’ve got 0.3ft onshore slop from the south, not worth a second look. Sunday morning the 19th, we get a bit of life: a clean 2.6ft SSE swell and a solid offshore NW wind at 12 mph. Water temp is about 64.6°, pretty normal for the season. That swell’s weak though – only 58 units of energy – and it’s a short-period 6s windswell, so it’ll be soft and crumbly. Still, a clean offshore on a reef like Moody Point is a treat, even if the waves are small. That afternoon, it drops to 1.3ft and the wind fades, so it’s a morning-only window.
Monday and Tuesday are trash – cross-onshore winds, tiny swell, choppy. Then Wednesday the 22nd afternoon, boom – that’s the one. We’ve got a solid 6.6ft SSE swell, period 9s, with a gentle cross-offshore wind from the west at 9 mph. The combined energy hits 651 – that’s a proper pulse, not a fizzle. The morning is also decent at 6.2ft with 284 energy, but the afternoon is cleaner, with “very good surf conditions” noted. Moody Point is a reef exposed to the SE, and this SSE swell is close enough to the optimum direction to line up meaty. The waves will be powerful and hollow – this size is for experts only, beginners stay out. Crowds are often a thing here, so don’t expect an empty lineup. The period is 9s, not a long groundswell, so sets will roll in regularly and the reef will handle it fine.
After that, it’s back to flat town. Thursday through the end of the month, we’ve got tiny cross-on swell and onshore wind – nothing worth paddling for. A few mornings are glassy, like Tuesday the 28th with 1.3ft glassy, but it’s barely a ripple. The first week of August looks grim: Saturday the 1st has 3.6ft but cross-on, and Sunday the 2nd morning has 2.0

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.
