The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a bleak run ahead for Moody Point. The entire 16-day window is essentially a write-off, with nothing worth paddling out for. Conditions are plagued by poor quality surf, messy wind, and tiny swell energy.
Starting from now, Thursday 30 July, the afternoon is a no-go: a weak 3.6ft easterly swell on a short 7-second period, with a cross-shore breeze. The combined energy is a modest 156, but the whole package is described as “poor surf conditions.”
The next morning, Friday 31 July, is the only flicker of hope, but it’s not a standout. We get a glassy, clean surface with 2.0ft from the SSE and a 10-second period. Energy is weak at 91. It’s “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” according to the data. That glassy wind is a major positive for clean faces, but the swell is tiny and the quality is still rated low. Crowds are “often” an issue here, so you might have company for not much reward.
From Friday afternoon right through to Friday 14 August, every single report reads “poor surf conditions.” The swell rarely gets above 1.6ft, period is often short (4-8 seconds), and the wind is consistently cross-on or cross, with occasional cross-off. Energy readings are all in the double digits—very weak. The water temperature is 63.7°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Given Moody Point is a reef break that needs a decent groundswell, this stretch is dead. The setup here, with significant onshore wind and weak, short-period chop, would actually be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. A blank run like this is more normal for this area when the swell window closes.
There are no standouts. Save your energy for another day.

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.
