The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you – the surf forecast for the next sixteen days is a tough one. We’ve got a long, quiet stretch ahead for our only spot, Crow Point.
First thing to note: Crow Point is a point break that rarely breaks. It's a sheltered spot, mainly looking for a W swell, and it's one for the beginners when it does work. The water temperature is at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a bit of comfort, but you’ll be waiting for the waves.
Right now, and for the entire first week, the story is flat and messy. The strongest swell we see in the whole run is a brief pulse on Sunday, July 26th, with waves hitting 5 ft and a combined energy of 254 – that's moderate. But the wind is howling from the WNW at 19 mph, cross-on and lumpy. The session is a write-off, with poor surf conditions. The days before and after that are just as grim, with tiny waves and the same cross/cross-on wind messing up the surface. There’s a short window of glassy conditions on Tuesday morning, July 28th, and Wednesday morning, July 29th, but the swell is barely a ripple at 2 ft and 1.0 ft. The energy is weak (28 and 20), so you’re just floating.
Then, we hit a real gap. From Wednesday, July 30th, right through to the end of the run on August 9th, the forecast is almost all tiny surf and poor conditions. The swell stays under 3 ft, with weak energy never breaking 100. The wind is all over the place – cross, cross-off, even a bit of onshore – but it doesn't matter because there’s nothing to ride. The only real glimmer is on Tuesday, August 4th, when a fresh offshore wind from the NNE at 22 mph arrives, but the swell is a weak 3 ft from the SW, not the W we need, and it's rating as poor surf. The energy is 131, but it's not enough to make it worthwhile.
Honestly, there’s nothing here to get excited about. For the full 16 days, there are no standouts, no good windows. It’s a rare blank run for this area, which is more normal than you’d hope. With such small, weak swell and messy wind, and it being a point break, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
Hang in there, forecasts can change. But for now, it’s a no-go.

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.
