Crow Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s lined up for Crow Point over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I’ll be straight with you – this is a rough one. Crow Point is a sheltered little point break that rarely breaks, and for the entire 16-day forecast window, it’s just not happening. The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the shop, and the wave energy is almost non-existent for the first week. We’re looking at a solid gap of about 10 days where there’s absolutely nothing worth paddling out for.

The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – about 4° above average, so you’ll notice it’s a bit balmy if you do happen to dip in.

Even when the swell finally tries to show up around the 19th of August, it’s a messy story. We get a bit of height – around 6ft – but it’s coming from the west with a short period of 7 seconds, and the wind is a fresh cross-onshore breeze making things lumpy and choppy. The combined energy jumps up to 395 (moderate wave energy), but the conditions are just poor. That’s not surfable for a point break like this; it’s the kind of setup that would be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The only day that even gets a nod is the morning of the 21st of August. Late in the run, we see a small 3ft west swell rolling in with a long 10-second period, light north wind, and clean conditions. The wave energy is 134 (moderate). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. If you’re desperate, you might get a couple of slow, weak lines, but don’t expect much.

So, to sum it up: there are no standout days here. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf at Crow Point. It’s a rare-break spot, and this kind of dry spell is pretty normal for the area. Sometimes the forecasts change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home.

Rusty.
