The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight up about what's on the table for the next couple of weeks. We only have one spot in the mix, so this is a short and honest look.
Right off the bat, it’s grim. For the first few days, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The best we see is Thursday morning with a tiny 2 ft south-east swell and glassy conditions, but the wave energy is weak (74) and the whole setup is just ordinary.
Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th are a write-off. We’ve got onshore wind, rain, and poor conditions with energy dropping into the 20s and 30s. Same story carries through Sunday the 6th, though we do see a bump in energy to 140 on Sunday morning with a 4 ft swell from the east-northeast, but the wind is a messy cross-off and the surf quality rating is zero. It’s just not working.
Monday the 7th morning is the closest thing to a highlight: a clean 2 ft easterly groundswell with a period of 10 seconds and energy at 101. Light cross-off wind from the north-northeast. It’s surfable but still very ordinary – think knee-high runners for the patient surfer. After that, the week from Tuesday the 8th onward is a flat spell. Tiny waves, 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with very weak energy – mostly below 30. Even a few glassy windows won’t save it.
The second week looks just as quiet. From the 14th to the 18th, there’s nothing above 3 ft and the energy never breaks 100. The most promising morning is Wednesday the 16th with a clean 1 ft swell, but that’s about it. A few longer-period 13-second pulses roll through on the 17th but they’re tiny and cross-onshore.
If you’re determined, Moody Point (a tricky reef break for advanced crew only) offers the best chance on Monday the 7th morning. It’s inconsistent and often crowded, so don’t expect it to yourself. For everyone else, this 16-day run is a real slow one. It’s normal for the area to have these flat gaps, and we’re in the middle of one now.
Stay tuned, forecasts change.
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.
