Crow Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what Crow Point has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s not looking great. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for any decent waves. There’s a real drought on, so don’t go getting your hopes up.

We’ve got a few days of nothing at the start, then a stretch where it might just be worth paddling out for a splash, but nothing that’ll get the heart racing. The water temp is sitting at a balmy 66°F, which is 4°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a real treat for the skin, but it’s about the only treat on offer.

Let’s get into it. There's a slight spike of energy around Thursday the 13th, with combined swell energy hitting 187 (moderate). The swell is coming from the WSW at 3ft with an 11-second period. That’s a bit of groundswell, and the longer period means it’ll have a bit more shape, but it’s also prone to closing out on a beach. Being a point break, Crow Point might handle it better. The wind is a cross-off from the NW in the morning, so it’ll be clean. But honestly, for a spot that *rarely breaks*, this is a bit of a gamble. It’s a sheltered spot needing a W swell, and we’ve got WSW, so it’s not a perfect match. The afternoon gets a cross-onshore chop from the WNW – not as good.

Later in the window, on Tuesday the 18th, there’s another pulse. We’re looking at 4ft from the west, but the period is a short 6 seconds – windswell, basically. The combined energy is 103 (moderate). The morning has a cross-off breeze from the E, keeping it clean, and the afternoon turns offshore from the NE. That’s the best wind we’ll see, but the small, short-period swell means weak, crumbly waves. It’s a beginner-friendly size though, if you just want to get wet.

That’s about it. For the rest of the 16 days, the swell is tiny – often under 2ft – and the wind is usually on it or cross-shore, making it choppy. There’s a moment of glass on the morning of the 16th, but only 1ft of swell – you’d be bobbing around on a lake.

To be honest, if you’re dead set on getting out, the cleanest windows are the Thursday morning the 13th for a slim chance, or the Tuesday the 18th for a bit more size and offshore wind. Both are weak and marginal.

Stay patient, mates. The forecast can change.
