The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a proper surf. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak, and messy conditions ahead, with only a brief pulse of energy showing up around the 17th, and even that’s not going to be anything to write home about. It’s one of those periods where you might be better off tuning the board or checking the forecast again later.
First up, for the early part of the window, we're looking at flatness. From the 11th through the 16th, there’s nothing surfable on the cards. The swell is basically non-existent, with waves under 1.3ft and periods that are all over the shop. The wind is a mixed bag, too, with a bit of offshore on Tuesday morning, and then it swings around to cross-onshore and gets a little lumpy. The water temp is sitting at 69.3°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need the thickest suit, but that’s the only highlight.
Then, we get a glimmer on Monday the 17th. A bit of a pulse shows up with a 3.9ft swell from the southeast, but the period is a weak 6 seconds. That short-period swell is going to be messy and lack any real push. The energy value is 113, which is moderate, but it’s just not going to translate into good waves. The morning looks clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but it’s going to be small, weak, and pretty ordinary. The afternoon drops off to 3ft.
After that little blip, we sink back into the doldrums. From the 18th right through the 26th, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. The swell stays under 3.3ft for the most part, with periods that are mostly short and unimpressive. The winds are a constant problem, mostly cross-onshore or just onshore, chopping up what little surface there is. There’s a moment on the 20th with glassy conditions, but the swell is still tiny, and it’s just not worth the paddle out.
To be honest, the whole 16-day stretch is a blank run. The only real standout, if you can call it that, is Monday the 17th, but even that is a marginal call at best. Moody Point is an inconsistent spot, and this forecast shows exactly why. It’s a reef break, so the long-period swells are what it needs, and we just aren't getting any. For the most part, this is more of a "check the cams and hope" sort of forecast. Hang loose, and hopefully, things will change.

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.
