The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a real test of patience. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves on the cards. The water is sitting at 69°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least the paddle out won't be a shock, but you’ll be floating.
The first real glimmer of something to ride doesn’t show up until Monday, the 17th of August. Even then, it’s not pretty. We’re looking at a short-period, 4ft swell from the S, but the wind is a messy cross-onshore all day, and the combined energy is only moderate (187). It’s gonna be choppy and poor. Honestly, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The following Sunday, the 23rd of August, is another write-off with tiny 1ft SE swell and cross-shore winds. The combined energy is weak (35-36). Not worth the effort.
Our only real standout window comes on Thursday, the 20th of August. The morning at Moody Point (New England) sees a 3ft SE swell, with a moderate 340 energy reading and a clean cross-off breeze. The swell period is 11 seconds, so it’ll have some shape. The afternoon looks a bit weaker with a light cross-shore wind, but still surfable waves. This is the best we’ve got, but it’s still a marginal call.
The week after that fades back into small, weak, and onshore slop. The 21st of August has a glassy 2ft ESE swell in the morning, but the energy is weak (128), and it’s not going to set the world on fire. The rest of the run is tiny surf with weak energy (under 50) and poor conditions.
This is a tough stretch. Hang in there, and keep an eye on the charts.
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.
