The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this stretch at Crow Point is a long, flat, and frustrating one. For the first week and a half, there’s absolutely nothing that’s worth waxing up for. Days of tiny, weak waves and bad wind. It’s a real dry spell, and that’s just how it goes sometimes around here.

The first thing that even looks like a wave shows up on the morning of Thursday, September 3rd. We’re talking about 7ft swell from the west, with a period of 9 seconds and a combined wave energy of 630 (moderate). The wind is a gentle cross-shore, so it’s clean, but it’s only rated as marginal. Crow Point is a point break that rarely breaks, so just seeing it on the chart is a big deal. The optimum swell direction is west, so this one’s right on the money.

The swell holds through the next few days, running between 5ft and 8ft, but the wind is constantly messing things up with cross or cross-onshore breezes, making it choppy and lumpy. The energy climbs to 728 (moderate) by Friday afternoon, September 4th, but the fresh cross-shore turns it into a washing machine. At 8ft, it’s too big for the groms and beginners.

The true standout, the one day you might want to clear your schedule for, is Monday, September 7th. The morning session shows a big 15ft swell from the west-southwest. That’s a serious amount of water, with a combined energy of 3796 (very strong) and a 10-second period. The wind is a clean cross-offshore breeze from the north. That’s a rare, beautiful window. By the afternoon, the swell jumps to a massive 21ft from the west, with a 16-second period – that’s extremely long-period groundswell. The energy explodes to 22399 (extreme). This is strictly for experts. The wind also swings to a strong cross-shore, making it messy. For a point break, that long period might make the waves a bit too straight and walled up, but it’s the only real power day of the whole run. The water temperature is 66°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, by about 5°F.

After that, Tuesday, September 8th, still has an 8ft swell in the morning, but the wind is onshore and choppy, so it’s a big step down.

So, the call is simple: if you’re an experienced surfer who knows how Crow Point handles that west swell, Monday, September 7th, early morning, is your only real shot. The rest of the forecast is a write-off.

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.
