The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks around here.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough stretch. The charts are throwing a lot of swell our way, but the wind just won’t play nice. Nearly every day in the first week is plagued by onshore or cross-onshore winds, making a mess of things. You’re looking at a long, blank run of poor surf quality from now through to the end of the first week of September. That’s a solid nine or ten days where I wouldn’t bother rushing to get wet.
The only real glimmer of light is right at the tail end of the forecast, on Monday the 7th of September. Crow Point is a sheltered spot that rarely breaks, so when the lights go green, you pay attention. That Monday morning, a solid 10ft swell from the west is rolling in, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined swell energy is a solid 1633, so there’s plenty of juice. What’s more, the wind is a light breeze from the northwest, sitting cross-shore, which will keep the surface clean. This is a heavy one, though – over 8ft, so this is experts-only territory. The afternoon backs off to 6ft, still clean with that light cross-shore. For a spot that barely ever works, this is the moment to clear your schedule if you’ve got the skills.
Water temps are sitting at 66°, which is a solid 5° warmer than usual for this time of year.
Later in the second week, the 11th of September brings a cleaner look with a cross-offshore wind, but the swell is shorter period and the wind is a strong breeze at 25 mph. It’s an improvement, but it’s not a standout.
So, to sum it up: don’t bother for the next week-and-a-half. Keep your eyes on Monday the 7th at Crow Point. It’s a rare one, and it’ll be worth it if you’re brave enough.
Rusty.

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.
