Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a long, hard look at what Moody Point’s got cookin’ over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with ya—this ain’t gonna be a pretty picture for most of it.
Right out of the gate, we’re looking at a long, flat spell. From now until about the middle of the month, the surf is just not there. We’re talking days of tiny, weak waves with poor conditions. There might be a tiny pulse around July 6th and 7th, but it’s blown out and messy, so don’t get your hopes up. Winds are onshore or cross-shore, and the swell just doesn’t have any grunt. The combined wave energy is weak, often in the teens or twenties (14–57), telling you there’s just nothing happening. Water temps are sittin’ around 63°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real sign of life doesn’t show until Wednesday, July 15th. The morning offers up a little 3ft swell from the S, with clean conditions thanks to a cross-offshore breeze from the WSW. It’s not much, but it’s surfable. By the afternoon, that swell bumps up to 4ft from the S, and the wave energy climbs a bit (119). Still, it’s a short-period swell, only 6 seconds, so the waves won’t have much push. This is the first time we see a score above zero, but it’s still just "surfable but very ordinary."
The real standout, and the only one worth circling on your calendar, is the morning of Saturday, July 18th. That’s when things finally come together. We get a solid 5ft SSE swell with a period of 7 seconds. The combined wave energy jumps up to 319, which is a very healthy bump. More importantly, the wind is a clean cross-offshore breeze from the SW, keeping the lines tidy at this exposed reef break. This is the best of the bunch, no question. Keep in mind, 5ft is gettin’ up there, so it might be a bit much for the beginners, but for the rest of you, it’s game on. The swell is coming from the SSE, which lines up nicely with Moody Point’s optimum SE direction.
Unfortunately, that window is short-lived. By the afternoon of the 18th, the wind swings onshore from the S and the conditions go to crap. The rest of the outlook fades back into small, weak, and messy surf.
So to sum it up: the first two weeks are a total write-off. Get your chores done. The one bright spot is that Saturday morning, July 18th. Don’t sleep on it, because after that, it’s back to the waiting game.
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.
