Moody Point is a submerged boulder reef that shapes hollow, powerful rights and lefts off a critical, steep take-off. When it's on, the drop feeds into a few barrel sections that come and go depending on the swell.
When It Works
This one needs size and water before it fires, so wait for a big swell to line up with a high tide. It draws swell from northeast to southeast (NE-SE), and southeast (SE) is the direction that really turns it on. It works from 1.8 m / 6 ft to 4.6 m / 15 ft. The rights favour a southeast swell and are the easier make of the two; the lefts tend to close out, since a right breaks into them from further down the beach.
Wind and Tide
Look for a northwest (NW) offshore to clean it up. It wants a high tide, and a rising tide is generally the better call.
Local Tips
The take-off zone is tight, so even half a dozen surfers feels like a crowd here. The upside is an easy paddle-out. Keep in mind a sewer pipe drains into the lineup, along with stormwater running off the salt marshes behind the point.
Access
There's free parking, but it's restricted and genuinely hard to come by.
