The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's break down the next couple of weeks at Moody Point (Lake Erie) .
Honestly, we're looking at a long, slow stretch. This is a powerful, experts-only reef that's inconsistent at the best of times, and the forecast is showing a long gap of nothing special. You're looking at about 10 days of barely-there surf before we see any real energy.
It kicks off on Friday, September 11th with tiny 1-foot waves from the southeast. The morning is clean with a light offshore wind, and the afternoon stays clean with a gentle offshore breeze, but the wave energy is almost non-existent (18-15) and the period is a short 9-10 seconds. The water temp is about normal for now.
Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th are flat – smaller waves and onshore breezes making things choppy. Not worth a second look.
Monday the 14th is the one small highlight early on. The morning is clean again, but the swell is still just 2 feet. Then in the afternoon, it goes glassy. The swell bumps up slightly to 2 feet from the southeast, and the energy is still low (54), but the clean conditions make it the most surfable we’ve seen. It's not good, just less bad.
From Tuesday the 15th through to Friday the 18th, it's a total snooze-fest of tiny, weak waves and messy cross-shore or onshore winds. The only thing that catches the eye is Friday the 18th afternoon, when a pulse of swell hits 6 feet from the east-northeast with an 8-second period and a moderate energy reading of 531. But the onshore wind and a "marginal" rating mean it’ll be a messy, blown-out mess. Not the kind of day that reef break is famous for.
Then we slide right back into tiny, weak, and cross-shore junk for another week. On Saturday, September 26th, there's a late pulse of swell. We see 4 feet from the southeast with a very long 13-second period and a solid energy reading of 562 (moderate). The wind is a moderate cross-shore from the southwest. That’s a long wait and a long-range guess, but if that wind turns, Moody Point with that much period could have some clean, powerful lines. Right now, it's a question mark.
The best you're going to get is Monday the 14th afternoon for a glassy, 2-foot paddle. The only other real option is a hopeful eye on that Saturday the 26th swell. This is the kind of stretch that reminds you why it's called an inconsistent break.

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.
