The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you about the next sixteen days. To be straight up with you, it’s a flat spell. We’re looking at a long stretch of minimal swell and not much to get excited about. The first real action we see is just a tiny pulse, but there’s nothing worth paddling out for.
Alright, so we start on Wednesday the 9th. Moody Point is basically flat. We’re talking waves around 0.3 ft from the SE, with a period of 10 seconds, so there’s no real energy. The water's sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. But honestly, with combined swell energy at just (8), it’s a lake. Glassy conditions early morning, but there’s nothing to ride. This disappointing pattern just continues.
Thursday the 10th sees a slight bump, with the swell hitting 4 ft from the SSE but the period drops to a weak 6 seconds. It’s got moderate energy (101), but it’s messy with a cross-offshore wind. Still pretty poor. Friday the 11th drops back to tiny 1 ft with glassy conditions, but again, zero power. This goes on and on. We have a whole week of this – through to about Wednesday the 16th – where the swell is consistently under 3 ft, short period, and mostly blown out by onshore or cross-onshore breezes. It’s not surfable. You might see a morning glass-off on Monday the 14th or Thursday the 17th, but with swell under 2 ft, you’re just bobbing around.
Finally, around Wednesday the 23rd, there’s a bit of a jump. Swell hits 4 ft from the SSE, with energy hitting (200). That’s the most we see. But the wind is a moderate cross-onshore at 16 mph, making it choppy, and the period is a short 6 seconds. It’s still not good surfing. The next day, Thursday the 24th, is a bit cleaner but the swell is back down to 3 ft.
Honestly, for this whole 16-day run, there isn’t a single standout or a window I’d recommend. Moody Point is inconsistent at the best of times, and this stretch is a classic example. The waves are too small, the periods too short, and the wind is just adding insult to injury. Good news is, it tends not to stay this poor forever, so keep an eye on it.

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.
