The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – looking at the next couple of weeks for our local spot, Moody Point, it’s a tough watch. This is a real flat spell we’re in, and honestly, there’s nothing to get excited about for a long time. We’re looking at a solid block of small, weak surf with a whole lot of nothing happening. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s one small comfort, but it won’t help the waves.
The first real glimmer of anything comes on the afternoon of Sunday, the 17th of August. There’s a pulse of 5ft swell from the south, with a period of 6 seconds. The energy finally bumps up to a moderate 237 (combined energy of all swells directed here), and the wind goes glassy, dead calm. That’s a rare combo for this exposed reef, and it could be a real window of clean, glassy conditions. The swell is a bit short-period, so it’s not going to have that heavy groundswell punch, but for a spot that’s been dead as a doornail, a clean 5ft on a reef is a pleasant surprise. This is a spot for advanced surfers only, and with it being inconsistent, you’ve got to be patient, but that afternoon session is the only true standout in the whole 16 days.
After that, it’s more of the same. The rest of the run is plagued by tiny, weak swells, mostly under 3ft, with cross-onshore winds chopping up what little bump there is. The energy is weak, often under 100. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Monday the 24th of August with a clean offshore wind from the WNW, but the swell is still just 2ft from the SE. It’s surfable but very ordinary, as the file says. The crowds are often an issue here, but honestly, with surf this poor, you’ll have the place to yourself.
Bottom line: If you’re a surfer, save your energy for the 17th of August. That glassy afternoon is the only time the stars align at Moody Point in this forecast. Otherwise, it’s a long wait.
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.
