The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's on the table for the next little while around here. Gotta be honest with ya, the charts aren't exactly screaming at us. We've got a 16-day window ahead, and for the first week or more, it's a proper struggle. There's a long, dry gap with nothing worth paddling out for until we hit the 13th of August, so we're looking at a big stretch of quiet water before anything even gets a pulse.
Alright, I'm gonna call it like I see it. The only break we've got on the radar is Crow Point. It’s a point break, but it's a tough one. It's sheltered, rarely breaks, and is more of a beginner's wave when it does. This stretch is looking more like a waiting game.
First sign of life is on the 13th of August (Thursday morning). The water is sitting at a very unusual 65°F, which is well above what you'd expect for this time of year. We've got a clean, light off-shore breeze and a small pulse of WSW swell at about 3 ft with a period of 9 seconds. The energy is moderate at best, sitting at (122). Honestly, it's just about surfable, but you'd need to be a local who knows the sandbanks to get a few. It's about as ordinary as it gets, but it's the first chance we have.
Then things get a bit weird. Looking ahead to Monday, the 17th of August (that's over a week away, mind you), the models are hinting at a big spike. The morning shows a solid 13 ft W swell, with a long 11-second period. The combined energy is massive at (3479). But here's the catch—it's cross-shore winds and the conditions are described as marginal. A swell that big at a beach break like this? It's going to be a washing machine. That's expert-only territory, and even then, the wind will make it messy. It might be more interesting for the kite crew than us paddle surfers. The afternoon drops to 10 ft but the wind stays cross-shore. This is the standout in terms of raw size, but it's far from a guarantee of a good wave.
To be straight with you, the rest of the run is a write-off. Cross-onshore winds, short period slop, and poor surf conditions. Crow Point just isn't going to fire in these conditions. It's a rare-breaking spot, and this forecast proves why. When there's no consistent swell with clean wind, you just have to sit it out. Forecasts can change, though, so keep an eye on it.

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.
