The Lowdown

Right, gather 'round. Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table. It's a grim start, I'll be honest. Crow Point is our only spot on the radar, and it's a sheltered little point break that needs very specific conditions to wake up. We've got a long quiet spell ahead before anything even gets close to rideable.

The line-up is pretty much dead through to the end of August. All we've got for days is tiny slop, wind blowing straight onshore or cross, and hardly any energy in the water. A letdown, no other way to put it. That glassy moment on Wednesday 26th afternoon, with a 0.4m swell (1ft) from the west and zero wind, would be flat but clean. You might get a knee-high wobble if you're desperate, but there's no power. That's as good as it gets for the first week.

Now, come Monday 7th of September, things finally shift. A stiff NNE wind starts blowing off the land, and we've got a 2.3m swell (8ft) from the west pumping in with strong energy. That's a serious groundswell push, and for the first time, the wind will leave the surface clean. That morning slot is the only standout in the whole 16 days. Crow Point is a rare breaker that almost never works, but with that combination it could just light up. The swell, however, is on the bigger side for a point break, so you'll want to be comfortable out there. That afternoon stays clean but the swell jumps to 2.5m (8ft) and the wind goes cross-off, still a solid option for the experienced crew.

The rest of the outlook after that gets mixed up again with onshore winds and lumpy conditions. There's a pulse of size on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th, but the wind's all wrong for this break. The water temp is about normal for the time of year – nothing weird there.

So, the only one to circle in the diary: the morning of Monday 7th September at Crow Point. It's a rare event for a rarely-breaking spot. Don't blink, or you'll miss it.

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.
