The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what's happening on our coast. I'm only looking at the one spot we've got data for, and I'm not gonna lie – it's a rough run.

First thing's first, the water temp is a balmy 65°, which is about 5° warmer than normal for this time of year. You'll be comfortable in a shorty, maybe even just boardies if you're tough enough.

The only break in the game is Crow Point. It's a point break, sheltered from the swell, and it rarely breaks. That's a tough start. The best swell direction is from the west, which we do see, but it's all about timing.

Looking at the whole 16-day forecast, it's a desert. We don't get a single decent recommendation until Tuesday, September 22nd. Before that, from now right up to Monday, September 21st, every single session is just poor. The wind is a mess – mostly onshore or cross-onshore, blowing 15 to 25 mph, just tearing the surface apart. The swell shows up, from 3ft to 7ft from the west, but with a short, weak period of 7 seconds and that wind, it's nothing but lumpy, choppy junk. The wave energy climbs to a moderate 602 on the 16th, but it's completely blown out.

The only window that's even worth a mention is the morning of Tuesday, September 22nd. We get a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the north at 9 mph. The swell is 5ft from the west, period of 7 seconds, with a moderate wave energy of 224. The report calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." That's your best bet, but it's for the dedicated local who's happy to get wet in average stuff. The swell direction is right for Crow Point, but the short period and the fact it rarely breaks here makes it a gamble.

After that, it goes dead again. The rest of the week and into the next sees tiny 1ft to 2ft swell. The winds turn clean and offshore, but there's no power behind the waves. The energy drops to a weak 25 or less. It's flat for days.

So here's the deal: Crow Point is a rare-breaker at the best of times, and these two weeks are a real test of patience. For that one Tuesday morning, you might find a clean little wave. Otherwise, it's a solid stretch of nothing. Hang in there – it can't stay this quiet forever.

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.
