The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and wax, let’s talk about the next couple of weeks here.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch at Crow Point. We’re looking at a whole lotta “poor surf conditions” on the board for the first couple of weeks. The water temp here is sitting around 66°, which is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s something, I guess.
For the first two weeks, it’s grim. From the 23rd of August right through to the 5th of September, it’s a blank run. Day after day, the swell is tiny, the winds are messy, and everything is just flat or chopped up. The wave energy is weak, with readings mostly in the teens and 20s (24, 16, 10). There’s a little bump of energy around the 27th to the 29th of August, with a moderate 127 and even a strong 310 on the 29th, but that’s a short-period, wind-driven 6ft with strong cross-onshore winds. That’s not surf, that’s a washing machine. That’s more kite-surfing territory than paddle surfing, honestly.
The only glimmer of hope comes right at the very end, on the 6th of September. Sunday morning and afternoon are looking like the one true standout in this whole 16-day window. The guidance shows an 8ft west swell rolling in, and that’s a big boy. That’s expert-level size, not for the beginners. The wind is predicted to be a light offshore from the NE, so it should be clean. The combined energy is very strong (810). It’s a short period swell though, at 8 seconds, so expect it to be a bit dumpy and close out quick on a spot that rarely breaks. This spot is sheltered and a point break, so it might just line up okay for that day.
So, for the next two weeks, you’re waiting. The first real shot at anything decent is that 6th of September, and even then, it’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on it but don’t bank on it just yet. This kind of a blank run is pretty normal for Crow Point, but the forecasts can change, so don’t throw your board out the window just yet.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
