The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. We’re talking about Moody Point today.
It’s a reef break, exposed to the swell, which would normally get it working. But looking at the next couple of weeks, it’s going to be a real waiting game. The water temp at the start of the forecast is about 63°F, which is roughly a degree and a half above the norm for this time of year – nothing crazy, but it’s a little warmer than usual.
Right off the bat, from Tuesday the 15th right through to Wednesday the 23rd of September, it’s pretty much a write-off. Swell heights are tiny, mostly under 3ft, with short periods around 6-9 seconds. The combined energy barely gets into triple digits except for a couple of moments, but even then the quality is poor. There’s a lot of cross-onshore wind, a bit of chop, and it’s just not the time to paddle out.
Now, we do see a blip on the radar. Wednesday the 23rd afternoon shows a jump in swell to about 8ft from the ESE with a 7-second period. The energy spikes to 530, which is substantial, but you’ve got a moderate breeze blowing clean offshore from the north, so it might actually look okay. That said, 8ft is big enough to be in the expert-only territory, and it’s a short period, so it’s going to be a bit walled up and a handful.
But the real standout here, the one to circle on your calendar, is Thursday the 24th of September. Early morning, we’ve got glassy conditions – dead calm, no wind. Swell about 7ft from the SE with an 8-second period, and the energy is a solid 495. Conditions are described as “expect good surf conditions.” This is the window. The wind is glassy, the swell is right in the optimum direction (SE), and it’s a reef break that can handle that size and period. If you’re experienced, this is your session. Keep in mind, it’s often crowded here, so expect some company.
After that, the surf slowly winds down into the end of September and into the first week of October, with smaller swells and mostly clean but weak conditions. Nothing else really stands out worth chasing.
So, bottom line: dry spell for over a week, then one morning on the 24th that could be very special for the advanced crew.

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.
