The Lowdown
Ah, mate. Gotta be straight with you—this is a tough one to call. Moody Point is a top-shelf reef break, advanced only, and it's exposed to the south-east. But the whole 16-day window that starts now is a ghost town. There's just nothing on offer for the first full week, and the week after that is barely a whisper.
We're looking at a solid stretch of time where the swell is tiny, the winds are often messy, or the directions are all wrong. The combined energy doesn't get above 87 (weak) for the first ten days, and for most of that it's barely a ripple. The water's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 64°, which is a small consolation, but it doesn't change the fact that the lineup will be dead.
The first real glimmer of hope, and it's a weak one, doesn't show up until Thursday, September 24th. Thursday morning you might see a small 2ft swell from the east at 9 seconds, with a light offshore from the north-west. The energy is still weak (59), but it's clean. The score says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and that's about the best we've got. The afternoon goes back to junk with a moderate offshore.
Friday the 25th is a similar story. Mornings see a 2ft east swell at 9 seconds, with a cross-offshore wind from the west-southwest. The energy is 78, still weak. It's clean, but it's under chest-high and inconsistent. Afternoon goes to a cross-shore and the swell drops to 2ft.
So, the honest truth? There's no standout session here. Nothing is worth a paddle out. This spot is inconsistent at the best of times, and this is one of those blank runs that's more normal for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a lot of waiting for a wave that isn't coming.
Keep the board waxed, and watch the charts. Sometimes the best session is the one you skip.

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.
