The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Crow Point.

Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty grim. We've got a long stretch of messy, onshore slop with not a single standout session in sight. The wind is mostly coming from the west or southwest, right into the face of the break, and it's just churning things up. The swell is all short-period windswell, under 8 seconds, which means weak, disorganized waves that are a real chore to surf. The combined energy is moderate at best, hitting 591 on the 4th, but it's all blown out.

The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is a massive 5° warmer than normal for this time of year. That's very unusual, so you'll be in boardies or a spring suit, but don't get too excited about the surf.

For the first week, from Thursday the 3rd right through to the 13th, it's all "poor surf conditions" with strong, gusty winds. We get a bit of a pulse on the 7th, with a 6ft swell from the west, but the period is a long 12 seconds. That's a proper groundswell, which would be great for a point break like Crow Point, but the wind is straight onshore, so it'll be a white-capped mess. The energy hits 1283 (strong) that morning, but it's useless. The 8th and 11th also see some 7ft+ swell, but again, the wind kills it. This is a classic case of "surfable for your kite, not your paddleboard."

There's a real gap in the action here. Nothing is worth paddling out for until the 14th.

Now, finally, on Monday the 14th, we get a little window of hope. The morning sees a light cross-offshore wind from the north, with a 4ft swell from the west at a 9-second period. The energy is moderate at 246, and the report says "clean." It's surfable, but it's ordinary. The real gem might be Tuesday the 15th. The wind goes glassy in the morning, calm as a lake, with a 3ft swell from the west. The energy is light at 153, but it'll be clean as a whistle. The afternoon sees a light cross-offshore from the north-northwest, keeping it tidy. The wave comment says "surfable" but "very ordinary conditions." This is the best we’ve got, and it's not much.

After that, the swell just drops off into the 2ft range and the wind picks up again. The 17th and 18th are back to un-surfable.

So, to call it: Don't hold your breath for anything epic. If you're desperate, the morning of the 14th is the first real chance, and Tuesday the 15th is the pick of a very poor bunch. But honestly, this is one of those times where the forecast says "stay home and wax your board."

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.
