Moody Point is a surf spot that tends to require a big swell and the right tide to really come alive. It features a submerged boulder reef which shapes both lefts and rights. While it can serve up some hollow and powerful waves, you’ll want to check the conditions before heading out since it doesn’t break all the time. The atmosphere here is laid-back, but because the take-off area is quite compact, it can feel crowded with just a handful of surfers out. Parking can also be a hassle, so plan accordingly.

The surf at Moody Point handles swells up to 6 feet (about 1.8 meters). For the best sessions, you’ll want a SouthEast swell, as this is when the right tends to be easier to ride and has a few barrel sections. The left can be trickier since it often closes out due to the right breaking in from further down the beach. If you’re looking for a good day, aim for a high tide while keeping an eye on the wind direction, which is best from the NorthWest.

If you’re planning to hit Moody Point, don’t forget that the wave breaks over boulders, so be mindful of that when you’re paddling out. It’s not the most typical surf spot, but it can be fun when the conditions align. Just be prepared for the crowd and the limited space, and come ready for a bit of a challenge.
