The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Gotta keep it real—this 16-day stretch is a tough one. You'll be waiting a lot for anything worth a paddle, and there are long dead periods with barely a bump.
The only spot in the mix is Moody Point, a tricky reef that's inconsistent and advanced-only. Water's running about 19°, a touch warmer than usual for the season, but nothing wild.
Your best chance comes on Wednesday, July 22nd in the afternoon. A 1.5m (about 5 ft) southeasterly swell with a 7-second period rolls in, and the combined energy hits moderate at 314. Wind's blowing cross-off from the southwest at 15 km/h (9 mph), cleaning it up decently. It's the best quality you'll see in this whole run.
Even better conditions hit on Thursday, July 23rd in the afternoon. Winds go dead glassy—northeasterly at a mere 5 km/h (3 mph)—and the swell holds at 1.0m (3 ft) from the southeast with an 8-second period. Energy sits at 124, and it's clean and surfable. This is your standout window.
After that, it's flat and choppy again. A few mornings around July 26th and 27th go glassy, but the swell barely breaks 0.7m (2 ft) and energy stays weak. Not worth the drive.
Late July into early August? Same story: small, weak swells, cross-onshore winds, poor surf quality. Nothing to chase.
Bottom line: if you're surfing, aim for Thursday, July 23rd afternoon at Moody Point. It's the only real clean, glassy session in the whole outlook. Patience is the name of the game.
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.
