The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days are a real struggle for Crow Point. This is a sheltered, rarely-breaking point break that needs a perfect W swell and the right wind to switch on. Looking at the forecast, we just don’t get that combo. The entire 16-day window is a blank run for surfable waves. Every single reading shows "poor surf conditions," and the scores reflect that zero is the standard here for this period.
From Monday the 27th of July right through to Tuesday the 11th of August, there’s just nothing doing. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, with short periods of 5 to 11 seconds. The combined energy is weak, ranging from 15 to 68 (weak energy). The water temperature is 66° with a much warmer than normal anomaly of 5°, which is very unusual for this time of year, but that’s about the only interesting thing happening.
We do get a spike in energy on the 8th and 9th of August, with swell heights hitting 7ft to 7ft and combined energy jumping to 583 and 597 (strong wave energy). That’s a lot of water moving, but it’s coming straight onshore with strong winds from the SW at 19 to 22 mph. The period is only 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s a messy, choppy, short-period windswell. For a sheltered point that needs W swell, this is useless for surfing. It’s more of a kite-surfing setup if anything.
Honestly, for a break that’s already inconsistent and rarely breaks, this is a normal quiet spell. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s not a single session worth paddling out for. Keep checking back, but for the next two weeks, 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.
