The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. Crow Point is a break that rarely shows its face, and this 16-day forecast is a total dead zone. There’s not a single session worth paddling out for. Every entry says "poor surf conditions." For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this kind of long stretch of nothing is pretty normal for the area. The first week is all tiny, wind-affected junk, and then when the swell finally shows up, the wind ruins it.
The only real pulse of energy comes on Thursday, August 20th, with a 7ft swell from the WNW and a combined energy of 634 (moderate wave energy). But the wind is a fresh cross-shore from the NW at 18 mph, making it lumpy and full of cross-chop. That’s not for surfing, that’s for kites. The biggest swell of the whole run hits on Thursday morning, August 27th, with a 8ft W swell (energy of 798, moderate wave energy), but once again, it’s onshore and messy. Crow Point needs a clean swell and light offshore winds to work, and it’s just not getting it. Nothing to do but wait for a better set of forecasts. Keep your board dry.
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.
