The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next 16 days for Moody Point. Honestly, it’s a rough stretch for this reef. We’ve got a long wait before anything even gets close to worth a paddle.
The first real chance of a wave shows up on the morning of Sunday, September 6th, with a 4ft ENE swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds, and it’s a cross-off wind from the NNE at 9 mph. The energy is weak, only 236, so it’s not going to have much push. That morning is clean, but it’s small and pretty weak. By the afternoon, the swell drops right off and we’re looking at a flat spell.
From Sunday afternoon all the way through Sunday, September 13th, it’s a barren run. Nothing but tiny, weak scraps and poor conditions. The wind is mostly onshore or cross, and the swell barely gets above 2ft. You’d be better off doing anything else.
We get a tiny pulse on the morning of Monday, September 14th, with a 3ft SSE swell, but the period is a short 6 seconds. The combined energy hits 120, so it’s moderate, but it’s still very ordinary. The wind is a cross-off from the NNE at 6 mph, keeping it clean, but the wave is just not there.
The next real blip is on Friday, September 18th. The morning sees a 6ft ESE swell with a 7-second period, and the energy is strong at 282. The wind is a light cross from the NE at 6 mph, so it’s clean-ish. But the period is short, so it’ll be a bit messy. The afternoon is bigger, with a 8ft ESE swell, but the period is still 8 seconds. The energy jumps way up to 1305. The wind is a light cross-on from the ENE. This is getting big, over 8ft, so it’s only for experts. The short period will make it dumpy and hard to handle, especially as a beach break setup. It might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Saturday, September 19th, keeps the 6ft ESE swell in the morning, dropping to 6ft in the afternoon. The period comes up to 9 seconds, which is better. The energy is strong, 559 and 501. The wind is a cross from the NE in the morning, turning onshore from the SE in the afternoon. It’s still big, but the longer period suggests better shaped waves. It’s still only for the guys who know what they’re doing.
The best of a bad bunch is the morning of Friday, September 18th. The swell is 6ft from the ESE, and the cross-off wind from the ENE keeps it decently clean. The energy is strong. It’s the only time the wind and swell align to give you something remotely rideable, but the short period is a real killer. It’s a stand-out only because everything else is so poor.
This is a real tough call. Moody Point is inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast is a long, dry spell. The only real swell shows up in the second week, and even then, it’s big and short-period. Keep the board in the car for the morning of the 18th, but don’t get your hopes up.
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.
