The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one. Crow Point is the only spot on the cards for the whole 16-day window, and I gotta be honest, the outlook is grim for paddle surfing. It’s a point break that rarely breaks, and for the entire run, the conditions are persistently poor for a decent wave.
Looking at the first batch of surf from Sunday the 6th of September, it’s a non-starter. We’ve got tiny 2ft to 2ft of swell from the west, but the wind is all wrong – cross and cross-onshore, creating a choppy mess. The combined wave energy is weak, in the 50-60 range, and there’s just no quality to work with.
Moving into Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th, the swell picks up a bit. You’ll see 5ft to 6ft of west swell, with a period bumping up to 11 and 13 seconds on Monday. That longer period suggests some energy (combined energy hits 800+ on Monday), but the wind stays on it. Cross-shore and cross-onshore winds with a moderate to fresh breeze keep it lumpy and uninviting. It’s a real shame because the size and period have potential, but the wind kills it.
The rest of that first week and into the second week is more of the same story. The swell fluctuates, but the wind just won’t play ball. We see a lot of onshore and cross-onshore winds, often fresh to strong breeze strength, creating messy, lumpy, or choppy conditions. Even when the swell drops back to 2ft, the wind is still howling.
There are a few fleeting moments of cleaner conditions – like the cross-shore winds on the morning of the 19th of September with 3ft swell and a 10-second period – but the combined energy is only moderate (184) and the quality is still described as poor. It’s just not enough to get excited about.
Given the persistent poor surf quality and strong winds, especially with the 8ft swell on the afternoon of the 21st of September, the setup at this beach-and-reef point looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. If you’re dead set on getting wet, you’d be battling messy, blown-out conditions for the entire 16-day run.
There are no standouts here. It’s a blank run that’s pretty normal for a spot that rarely breaks. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, leave the board at home.

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.
