The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what Crow Point has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s not looking great. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for any decent waves. There’s a real drought on, so don’t go getting your hopes up.
We’ve got a few days of nothing at the start, then a stretch where it might just be worth paddling out for a splash, but nothing that’ll get the heart racing. The water temp is sitting at a balmy 66°F, which is 4°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a real treat for the skin, but it’s about the only treat on offer.
Let’s get into it. There's a slight spike of energy around Thursday the 13th, with combined swell energy hitting 187 (moderate). The swell is coming from the WSW at 3ft with an 11-second period. That’s a bit of groundswell, and the longer period means it’ll have a bit more shape, but it’s also prone to closing out on a beach. Being a point break, Crow Point might handle it better. The wind is a cross-off from the NW in the morning, so it’ll be clean. But honestly, for a spot that *rarely breaks*, this is a bit of a gamble. It’s a sheltered spot needing a W swell, and we’ve got WSW, so it’s not a perfect match. The afternoon gets a cross-onshore chop from the WNW – not as good.
Later in the window, on Tuesday the 18th, there’s another pulse. We’re looking at 4ft from the west, but the period is a short 6 seconds – windswell, basically. The combined energy is 103 (moderate). The morning has a cross-off breeze from the E, keeping it clean, and the afternoon turns offshore from the NE. That’s the best wind we’ll see, but the small, short-period swell means weak, crumbly waves. It’s a beginner-friendly size though, if you just want to get wet.
That’s about it. For the rest of the 16 days, the swell is tiny – often under 2ft – and the wind is usually on it or cross-shore, making it choppy. There’s a moment of glass on the morning of the 16th, but only 1ft of swell – you’d be bobbing around on a lake.
To be honest, if you’re dead set on getting out, the cleanest windows are the Thursday morning the 13th for a slim chance, or the Tuesday the 18th for a bit more size and offshore wind. Both are weak and marginal.
Stay patient, mates. The forecast can change.

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.
Crow Point is 2 km (1 miles) from Appledore. If you plan a holiday in North Devon, look for hotels and other accommodation in Appledore. Appledore has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
