The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what’s on the menu at Moody Point over the next couple of weeks.
First thing you gotta know: there's no surf worth paddling out for right now. We've got a long stretch of nothing happening. The first couple of days are flat, and honestly, it stays that way for a while. The first real chance we get isn't until Thursday the 10th, so that's a solid 4-day gap of just staring at flat water.
Now, let's get into the details. The water temp is sitting around 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Thursday, September 10th – This is the only window that even raises an eyebrow. Thursday morning we see a pulse of swell coming in from the south at 5 ft, but the period is a short, weak 6 seconds. The combined energy hits 274 (moderate). The wind is blowing from the WSW at 12 mph, which is cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean on the face. The problem? That short period means the waves will be fat, weak, and close out quickly. It’s a reef break, so it might offer a few more shapely lines than a beach, but this is really marginal. Honestly, it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a good paddle session. Thursday afternoon drops off fast to 3 ft and weaker energy.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. From Friday the 11th all the way through to the end of the outlook on Monday the 21st, every session is rated poor. Swell heights mostly hang around 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with the occasional blip to 5 ft on Wednesday the 16th, but that comes with a fresh 19 mph cross-offshore wind and heavy rain. Even when the wind is offshore or glassy (like Monday the 7th afternoon with 1 ft and glass conditions), there’s just no wave energy to work with. The energy readings are mostly in the low double digits or single digits (like 10, 18, 21) – that’s weak, barely a ripple.
The Bottom Line: If you absolutely have to get wet, Thursday morning the 10th is your only shot, and it’s a long shot. For everyone else, save the petrol and wait for a better forecast. This is one of those stretches where the ocean just isn’t cooperating.
Stay tuned, forecasts can 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.
