The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Crow Point. I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days look pretty grim for this spot. It’s a real dry spell, and if you’re after a wave, you’re gonna be waiting a long time.
The whole run is a gap. From the start on Wednesday the 9th of September, all the way through to Tuesday the 22nd of September, the surf is just flat or blown out. There’s a bit of energy showing at times, like a combined energy of 224 (moderate) on the 9th morning, but with a weak 4ft swell and a 15 km/h cross-shore wind, it’s just a messy, choppy mess. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, and the swell is weak and short-period. It’s really not worth paddling out for.
The only real pulse of size comes on the 16th of September, Wednesday afternoon, with a 7ft swell from the west. That’s 7ft, but it’s from a short 9-second period and the wind is a moderate 25 km/h cross-onshore, making it choppy and lumpy. The combined energy hits 783 (strong), but it’s a complete washout. For a beginner-friendly point that rarely breaks, this is too big and messy, and it’s definitely not for the faint of heart. Honestly, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The best you’ll see is later down the line. On the 23rd of September, Wednesday afternoon, we get a 3ft west swell with a 11-second period, and a clean 20 km/h cross-offshore wind. The combined energy is 280 (moderate). It’s small, but it might be the cleanest wave of the whole forecast. But it’s still a long way off, and with Crow Point being a rarely-breaking spot, it’s a gamble.
Overall, it’s a tough outlook. The wave energy is just too weak, and when there is size, the wind ruins it. I wouldn’t be hanging my wetsuit up for this one just yet.
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.
Crow Point is 2 km (1 miles) from Appledore. If you plan a holiday in North Devon, look for hotels and other accommodation in Appledore. Appledore has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
