Moody Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming our way for the next couple of weeks.

To be brutally honest, the next two weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. We’ve got a long stretch of very small, weak, and mostly messy conditions. From today, Tuesday the 7th, right through to the 19th, nothing is really worth getting excited about. The wind is nearly always onshore or cross-shore, and the swell is tiny, with periods often under 8 seconds, meaning weak, crumbly waves. The combined energy is mostly in the double digits, barely cracking 150 for the first week and a half, which tells you everything you need to know. There’s a real dry spell here.

However, there is one standout window that actually looks promising. Mark your calendars for Monday the 20th of July. The morning session at Moody Point is your best bet. We’ll see a clean 5ft swell rolling in from the SSE, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is forecast to be glassy, which is a massive plus and will make for pristine conditions. The combined energy kicks up to 278, a solid moderate level. It’s been a long wait, but this is finally a window that has 'go' written all over it. The afternoon gets a bit bigger, pushing 7ft, but the wind swings cross-on, so stick to the morning glass.

A couple of other days do show 'clean' conditions, like the 16th and the 19th, but the swell is barely 2ft, so it’s really just ankle-snappers. The 22nd also looks clean with a bit of swell, but it’s still small.

Water temp at Moody Point is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with a thinner suit.

So, to sum it up: the next 12 days are a write-off for anything decent. The only real standout is the glassy morning of Monday the 20th. Pinch that session if you can.

Rusty.
