Crow Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. This is a grim one, I’m not gonna lie. Crow Point is a sheltered spot that rarely breaks, and this forecast is a tough read.

The whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf. There’s not a single day where the waves and wind come together for a proper session. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing here, mate.

Starting off, Sunday the 23rd of August, we’ve got tiny 1ft of west swell, but the period is a short 9 seconds. The wind is a light cross-offshore, which is about the only positive, but there’s just no energy – the combined energy is a weak 22. It’s a no-go. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is a notable 4° warmer than average for this time of year, so it’s not the cold keeping you out, it’s the lack of waves.

The rest of that first week is more of the same story. We’re looking at waves from 0.3ft to 1ft through to Thursday the 28th. The wind keeps shifting around, mostly cross or onshore, with a brief moment of glassy conditions on Wednesday the 26th afternoon, but with only 1ft on offer, there’s nothing to ride. The energy readings are all in the low double digits – it’s flat.

Then we get a bit of a tease. Towards the end of the month, around Saturday the 29th of August, the swell kicks up to 8ft from the west. The combined energy jumps to a strong 568, but the wind is a fresh to strong cross-onshore, gusting up to 25 mph. That’s going to be a messy, lumpy, blown-out mess. It’s only for experts, and even then, it’s not worth it. Sunday the 30th sees the swell drop back to 4ft with the wind still messy.

The start of September offers no relief. The swell is consistently small, under 4ft, and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, with moderate to fresh breezes. The water temp anomaly is missing from the data after the first entry, so we can’t track that. The energy values are moderate at best, like 184 on Tuesday the 1st, but the wind ruins it.

The final few days, from the 4th of September onwards, are a washout. Strong winds, rain showers, and tiny, weak swell. The only change is a brief period of light cross-shore wind on the 7th, but again, with only 3ft of weak, short-period swell, it’s a skunk.

Honestly, there’s nothing here. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a blank run. It’s not a surprise for the area. If you’re desperate, the northwest winds on the 5th of September morning might provide a tiny, weak window, but it’s a long shot and the forecast is for the second week, so less certain. Don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
