The Lowdown

Well, let me tell you, it’s been a rough stretch out here. We’ve got a solid 16-day window, but the first week to ten days are mostly a write-off. The ocean’s been churned up and blown out, with one messy system after another. You’re gonna want to keep the board in the car for a while.

Looking at the opening days, from Thursday the 27th through to the following Thursday, it’s all pretty grim. We’ve got small, weak swells with fresh and strong onshore winds, rain, and even a risk of thunderstorms. The swell energy is all over the place, from a weak 10 to a punchy, but totally blown-out, 1418 on Saturday afternoon. It’s just a washing machine out there.

There’s a brief moment on Monday the 31st with a 8ft W swell at 10 seconds, but the cross-shore wind is going to have it all lumpy. Not worth the paddle. Same story for the 3rd and 4th of September, with some solid 7ft to 7ft swells, but the fresh cross-onshore winds are going to wreck any chance of a clean face. That’s a lot of water moving for no good reason.

Then, finally, we get a little window. The whole period builds to this.

The standout is Saturday the 5th of September. The morning is small, just 4ft at Crow Point, but it’s glassy. That’s the first time we’ve seen that all week. It’s a sign of things to come. Then the afternoon, look out. The swell jumps to 10ft from the WSW, and we get a light cross-offshore breeze with a 724 energy reading. That’s the good stuff. The size is right up there, over 8ft, so this is for experienced surfers only. It’s a powerful, wedging point break wave, and with that wind, it’s going to be clean. This is the day. It’s a rare, special window.

There’s a second, smaller chance on Wednesday the 9th of September in the afternoon. A 4ft WSW groundswell, but with a cleaner cross-offshore breeze. It’s a shadow of the Saturday, but it’s surfable. And then, that’s about it. The following week drops right back off and it’s small and clean but ultimately flat and weak.

So, to be honest, the whole 16-day forecast comes down to one session: Saturday afternoon. It’s not for the faint of heart, but for those who know, it could be something special. The rest is a waiting game.

Stay sharp.

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.
