The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Moody Point over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re lookin’ at a long, long gap with no surf worth paddling out for. From now through to the 21st of August, it’s pretty much flat or close to it. Tiny, weak swells that won’t even get you out of first gear. The water temp is sittin’ around 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s comfortable, but that’s about the only good news.
We finally get a pulse of energy on the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August. That’s the one to circle. The swell bumps up to 5ft, coming from the south with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy pushes up to 326, which is a moderate pulse. The wind is glassy, dead calm, and the sky is clear. That is the standout. For a spot that’s pretty inconsistent, this is a rare, clean shot. The swell direction is from the S, which matches what this reef wants to see. Keep in mind, crowds are often a thing here, so get out early. The 5ft height is right on the edge for beginners, but it’s doable if you’re confident.
The morning after, Sunday the 23rd, we get a leftover 2ft from the SSE with glassy conditions again. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The energy is down to 54, and the period is a short 7 seconds. It’ll be weak and a bit soft. After that, it’s right back to the doldrums with tiny, poor conditions for the rest of the outlook.
So, to sum it up: the only real chance you’ve got is that Saturday morning, the 22nd. It’s a long way off, so don’t lock it in, but it’s the only flicker of hope in an otherwise flat forecast.
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.
Moody Point is 24 km (15 miles) from Sanford. If you plan a vacation in Maine, look for hotels and other accommodation in Sanford. Sanford has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
