The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks around Crow Point.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a slow start. Crow Point is a pretty sheltered little point break that barely breaks at all, and for the first ten days or so, there’s just nothing doing. The swell is tiny, mostly under 1 ft with a few periods of glassy or cross-off wind, but the wave energy is rock bottom – you’re looking at combined energy readings under 30 for most of that stretch. The water is a very unusual 64°F at the start, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing going for it. If you’re desperate for a paddle, Wednesday afternoon the 15th has a 1 ft W swell with a clean offshore wind, but it’s described as poor surf conditions and I wouldn’t bother.
There’s a real gap here with no decent surf to recommend. It’s not until the very end of the forecast window that we finally see a pulse of energy. The standout moment comes right on Wednesday morning the 29th of July. We’ve got a 6 ft W swell, period around 8 seconds, and combined energy is a solid 699 – that’s a proper kick of moderate-to-strong wave energy. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the NNW, so it’ll be clean. This is a rare break, so it’s notable that it’s even showing. The swell direction is straight out of the west, which is the optimum direction for this spot. It’s a point break, so that longer period will wrap in nicely. It’s only for the morning though; by the afternoon the wind swings cross-shore and it gets messy. If you’re an expert, the 6 ft is good, but it’s not too big.
The day before that, Tuesday morning the 28th, there’s a 4 ft WSW swell with a short 5 second period, and combined energy of 101. It’s clean, but it’s so short-period it’ll be a bit weak and wonky.
Nothing else in the second week really stands out, just dribbles of small swell. Crowds are listed as “sometimes”, so when that 29th rolls around, you might have a few others with the same idea. For a spot that rarely breaks, you’ve got to be on it when it does.

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.
