The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this is a tough one. We're looking at Crow Point, and it's a classic case of the right swell direction, but everything else is fighting against us. The water is a warm 66°, which is a solid 4° warmer than usual for this time of year, so that's a nice little bonus if you're paddling out.
But the problem is consistency. Crow Point is a point break that rarely breaks, and this stretch of forecasts shows why. For the first few days, we're looking at poor surf conditions. The wind is mostly cross or cross-on, and the waves are small and weak. There's a bump of energy on Monday the 7th with a 5ft to 6ft swell from the west, but it's got a strong cross-on wind and it's choppy. The combined energy (866-1070) is moderate, but it's not clean.
The real kicker is that the wind is never quite right. We get a clean session on Wednesday morning the 9th with a light cross-off shore, but the swell is only 3ft with a weak 6-second period, so it's tiny. The combined energy is a paltry 121.
The best chance of anything rideable might be the afternoon of Friday the 11th. There's a 5ft west swell, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore from the northwest at 19 mph, which will be lumpy. It's not the kind of day you get excited about.
After that, it's a slow fade. The swell drops off, the wind stays messy, and there's a whole lot of nothing. Even the glassy morning on the 16th only has a 2ft swell. It's a 16-day outlook with almost nothing to recommend. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a normal blank run. The forecast can always change, but right now, I'd leave the board at home and maybe look at the kites if the wind is blowing. If you're a patient beginner, the glassy, clean periods with tiny waves might be a place to learn, but don't expect any real rides.
Rusty.

Information about the Crow Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Crow Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Crow Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Crow 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 (Crow 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 Crow 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.
