The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you—this isn’t a classic, but there’s a tiny window that might just get your heart racing if you’re patient.
We’re looking at Cape Cod, specifically Crow Point (United States). This is a sheltered point break that needs the right swell direction to really work, and it’s rated as a spot that *rarely breaks*. So, when it does offer something, it’s a bit of an event. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing freaky to report.
Right now, the next few days are a total write-off. We’ve got weak, jumbled swell with cross-shore winds and cross-chop. From Thursday the 6th through to Wednesday the 12th, it’s really just small, weak waves with poor energy. The combined energy barely cracks 84 on the 6th and drops to single digits. It’s a flat spell, folks. Not worth paddling out for.
Things start to get a little more interesting around Thursday, August 13th. The morning shows a clean 3 ft groundswell from the west, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 184 (moderate), and with glassy conditions, it’s the one true standout in this whole run. The swell is small, so it’s fine for beginners, and the offshore wind direction (NE) is optimum for Crow Point. This is your best shot. But remember, it’s an inconsistent spot, so you gotta be ready to wait for the sets.
The afternoon of the 13th gets a bit lumpy with cross-shore wind, so the morning is the clear winner.
After that, we slide back into ordinary conditions. The 14th and 15th bring some size but with cross-onshore winds and chop. The 16th is blown out with onshore winds. The 17th and 18th drop back down to tiny, clean but weak surf. The 19th and 20th see a return of onshore wind and messy conditions.
The very last day we have data for, Friday the 21st, shows a 2 ft west swell with a 9-second period, but it’s cross-shore with a cross-chop. Nothing to get excited about.
So, the bottom line: there’s one real moment to aim for—Thursday morning, August 13th. The rest of the 16-day window is a whole lot of flat to poor conditions. Crow Point is a finicky break, so a long quiet spell like this is pretty normal for the area. Keep your eyes on that one glassy morning.
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.
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.
