The Lowdown
Alright, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this is a tough one to call. Over the whole 16-day outlook, there’s not a single surf session that scores a recommendation. The wave heights stay tiny, the energy is barely there, and honestly, you’re looking at a long dry spell.
The first real chance at anything rideable doesn’t show up until Thursday the 25th of July, with some small swell starting to push in. Even then, it’s marginal. The biggest bump in energy comes around the 29th of July, with a modest increase in wave height that still doesn’t break the 4ft mark. The best of a flat week is probably the morning of the 27th of July, with a 3ft west swell, 6-second period, and light north-northwest winds that keep things clean. The combined energy is only 86 (moderate at best). Crow Point is a sheltered, rarely-breaking point break, so it’s never going to fire unless everything lines up perfectly.
The water temperature is sitting at 64°, which is a full 4° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s much warmer than normal, so you might appreciate the warm water while you’re waiting for a wave that never comes.
If you’re a beginner, there’s literally nothing to worry about because the swell is never above 4ft, so it’s safe but not worth the drive. The wind is mostly cross-off or cross, which at least keeps the surface clean, but with no real swell to push into the break, it’s a paddling practice session at best.
For the entire second week, the story is the same: small, weak, and inconsistent. Crow Point is a once-in-a-blue-moon wave, and this forecast proves it. Still, the consistency of the break is listed as rarely breaks, so this kind of blank run is more normal for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, don’t hold your breath.

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.
