The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get straight into it. Crow Point’s a tricky little point break that rarely breaks, so when I say we’ve got a long stretch ahead with almost nothing rideable, I’m not surprised. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for decent surf. We’re talking about a solid two weeks where the conditions just don’t line up. The swell is small, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the energy is weak. There’s a lot of flat spells in between.
The first real pulse of any size doesn’t show up until Saturday the 15th, with a morning swell of 4ft from the west, but the wind is cross-onshore and the period is short at 8 seconds. The combined energy (182) is still moderate, but the surf quality is poor. Not worth getting excited about. The following days are similar – a bit of west swell, but the wind is never clean enough to make it worthwhile.
The biggest swell arrives on Wednesday the 19th, with 8ft from the west early on, and combined energy jumping to 585. That’s strong wave energy, but the wind is onshore, the period is a mediocre 8 seconds, and it’s messy. Thursday the 20th is also big – 7ft in the morning, 7ft in the afternoon – but again, onshore wind and poor conditions. This is the kind of setup that’s more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, honestly. Too big for beginners, and the quality just isn’t there for experts either.
The only real stand-out moment is Tuesday the 11th, early morning. Glassy, calm wind, and a tiny 1ft west swell, but it’s a rare moment of clean conditions. The problem is the swell is nearly non-existent. You’d be lucky to get a knee-high wave. It’s a tease.
The water temperature is 66°, which is 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s notably warm, so you won’t need a thick suit.
Look, Crow Point is a fickle spot. It rarely breaks, and when it does, the wind usually ruins it. This outlook is a classic blank run for the area. It doesn’t tend to stay poor for long, forecasts can change, but right now, there’s not a single day I’d tell you to paddle out. Keep an eye on the charts, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
