The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat this one. The next week and a half is looking pretty grim for Moody Point. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak surf that’s barely gonna have you scratching your board, let alone getting a wave. The first glimmer of anything worthwhile doesn’t show up until Saturday, August 22nd, and even then, it’s only a flicker.
For the first few days, from Sunday the 9th through to the end of the week, we’re looking at waves mostly under 2ft. The swell energy is weak, with combined energy readings bouncing between a paltry 6 and a max of 27. There are some clean windows with light offshore winds, but honestly, there’s just nothing to push you along. You’ll be fighting for dribbles. The water temp is sitting right around average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
There’s a bigger pulse of energy that starts showing up on the 18th and 19th, with readings hitting the 40s and 50s, but the wind is all over the place – onshore and cross-shore – and it’s chopping up whatever tiny bumps are there. It’s frustrating, to be honest; you can see the ocean wants to wake up, but it’s just not committed.
The real standout, and the only thing I’d even point you towards, is the window on Saturday the 22nd. We finally see a jump in swell size, with the morning showing 5ft from the SE and the afternoon kicking up to 5ft. The combined energy jumps to 124 in the morning and a solid 216 by the afternoon, which is the first time we’ve seen anything resembling real power. The wind is howling offshore from the WNW, which should groom it into some clean, workable lines. It’s still a reef break, so it’s for the advanced crew only, and given the size, it’s not for beginners. The period is a short 5-6 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy and lack the push of a proper groundswell, but it’s the best we’ve got. This is the one to keep an eye on.
After that, the swell backs off a bit on the 23rd and 24th, with the wind shifting onshore and killing the vibe. So, mark your calendar for the 22nd. It’s not perfect, but it’s the only real surfable option in this entire 16-day stretch.

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.
