The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Moody Point’s got cooking over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly mate, it’s a grim outlook. We’ve got a full 16-day window, but there’s no real surf to get excited about until the very tail end. For the first two weeks, it’s a complete write-off – tiny, gutless waves, poor conditions, and choppy, cross-onshore winds. You’d be wasting your time and energy. Even the combined wave energy is weak as, barely cracking triple digits on the best days, and often sitting below 100 (61 to 131).
Now, there is a tiny glimmer right at the end. On Thursday the 10th of September, things might just come together for a brief moment. The morning session is looking like the only genuine window. We’ll see a 4 ft swell from the east, which is a bit of a bump, and the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit racy. But the real standout is the wind – it’s glassy. Absolutely dead calm. That’s a major positive for Moody Point, a tricky reef setup that needs good conditions. On a glassy morning with a little bump, a few waves will actually be rideable. The combined energy is about moderate (193), so it has some push. Be aware though, this is a reef break, so the long gaps between sets with short-period swell could be a factor.
For the rest, don’t bother. There are long gaps of nothing. Crowds are “often” here, but honestly, in conditions this poor, they won’t be a problem. If you’re an absolute beginner, this 4 ft swell is fine for you, but for most surfers, that’s the only show in town.
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.
