The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what this 16-day window has in store for us. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a long, long wait for anything worth getting wet for. The first real glimmer of hope isn’t until Sunday the 6th, but even that’s a stretch.
We’re starting off with a tough run. From Friday the 4th right through to Wednesday the 9th, it’s a grim picture. The swell is tiny and the conditions are messy. You’d be fighting for scraps. There’s a brief moment on Sunday morning the 6th where the energy picks up a bit (237 combined swell energy), and we get 4ft from the NE. It’s clean, but it’s a short-period windswell. For an exposed reef break like Moody Point (Moody Point), that’s a little punchy but not doing us any favors with quality.
Then we hit a dead zone. From Monday the 7th all the way through to the middle of the second week, it’s basically flat or junk. A few pulses of wind and tiny waves, but nothing that would make you grab your board. That’s a solid 4-5 days of nothing.
The only standout, and I mean the *only* one that gets me a little excited, is Thursday the 10th. The morning shows a building 3ft SSE swell, but the wind is howling from the W at 15 mph, so it’s a cross-offshore mess. The afternoon, however, is the best of the whole period. We get a fresh 19 mph offshore from the WNW, cleaning up that 2ft SSE swell. It’s small, but that offshore wind at Moody Point will make it glassy and walled. The energy is weak (45 combined swell energy), so don’t expect power, but for a clean little session, that Thursday afternoon is your only real ticket.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. A few tiny swells with crummy wind directions. The water temp is about 65°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick wetsuit.
Honestly, this is a bleak outlook. For the next 16 days, you’ve got one afternoon that might be half-decent. The rest is a write-off. Keep an eye on the charts, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
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.
