The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what Moody Point’s got lined up for us. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a bit of a flat spell to kick things off, and we’re gonna have to wait a good while for anything that gets the heart pumping.

We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak surf from now through most of the week. The first ten days or so are a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. The wave energy is low, with nothing really happening. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the swell is just too small and weak to care about. There’s a brief moment on Friday the 18th where it goes glassy in the arvo, but with only 1ft on offer, it’s barely a ripple. You’d be better off finding something else to do.

Then we get a little bump in the action on Sunday the 20th. The swell picks up to 5-5ft from the SSE, and the energy gets moderate. But the wind is messy on the Sunday morning – a strong cross-shore making it choppy. The Sunday afternoon looks cleaner with a cross-offshore breeze, but it’s still just a marginal call. Not a standout, but at least there’s some size.

The real highlight, the one I’d circle on your calendar, is the morning of Sunday, September 27th. We get a clean 4ft swell from the SE, with a period around 9 seconds. It’s not a long-period groundswell, but the wave energy is moderate. Best of all, the wind is glassy. That’s the magic word. Expect clean, smooth faces. It’s still an exposed reef break, so keep your wits about you, but this is your best shot for a proper session. The Saturday before (26th) has similar size at 5ft from the SE with even more energy, but the wind is a bit more onshore with some cross-chop, so it’s not quite as clean.

As for the water temp, it’s just normal for this time of year, so no need to dig out the thickest rubber just yet.

Moody Point is a tricky spot – it’s inconsistent and only for advanced surfers. It doesn’t fire often, so when that Sunday morning looks clean with some waist-to-chest high swell, you gotta be ready to go. The crowds can be an issue here too, so don’t expect to have it to yourself if it’s good.

So, bottom line: suffer the flat spell, maybe look at the Sunday the 20th afternoon for something to do, but your real target is that glassy Sunday morning on the 27th. That’s the one.

Stay stoked,
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.
