Moody Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got one spot on the radar for this entire 16-day stretch, and I’ll be honest with you—it’s a tough watch. The only break we’ve got to work with is Moody Point, an advanced reef setup that’s inconsistent and exposed to the SE. It’s a tricky one that needs the right conditions to line up, and for most of this window, they just don’t.

Looking at the whole picture, we’re staring down a long, dry spell. From now through to the 18th of July, the surf is mostly junk. You’ll see small, weak swell with poor, cross-onshore winds keeping things choppy and messy. The combined energy readings are low, barely cracking three digits, and often sitting in the 20s or 30s – that’s weak energy, no punch. There’s a bit of a bump mid-week, but the wind is ruining it. Moody Point needs clean conditions, and it’s just not getting them.

The first real flicker of something decent shows up on the morning of Friday, the 17th of July. We’ve got a glassy, dead calm start with the wind swinging ESE at 0 mph. That’s a major positive for this spot. The swell is tiny though, only 1 ft from the SE with a short period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is just 23 – weak. It’s clean, but it’s barely a ripple. You’d be on a longboard, maybe a log, and just enjoying the peace.

Then, the standout. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best we get. On the morning of Sunday, the 19th of July, we hit the only surfable rating in the whole forecast. The wind goes glassy again, light from the SSE at 5 mph, and the swell bumps up to 3 ft from the SSE with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy reads 84 – still weak, but it’s the most we get. The water temp is about average for the time of year, no big anomaly. This is the one morning you’d want to paddle out at Moody Point. It’s not big, it’s not powerful, but it’s clean and rideable. The crowds here are often, so you might have a few others out. After that, it’s back to the small, choppy stuff for the rest of the window.

Bottom line: if you’re serious about surfing, don’t get your hopes up. The 19th of July morning is your only real chance, and even then, keep expectations low. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off for this spot.

Rusty.
