The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here.
Look, I’ll be straight with you: the next couple of weeks at Crow Point are a tough watch. The whole 16-day window is a real mixed bag of slop and wind, but there is one little window that’ll get you wet if you’re patient.
The first real surfable day is on the 2nd of September, but it’s a total write-off. Wednesday morning has a 4ft swell from the WSW, but it’s a short-period 6 seconds, and that 30 km/h cross-on wind from the SSW has it lumpy and ugly. The energy is weak at 97. The afternoon is a bit bigger at 6ft, but the wind is straight onshore from the WSW at 35 km/h, making it a messy 334 energy. Not worth paddling out.
The 3rd, 4th, and 5th are all similar stories. Thursday and Friday see 5ft to 6ft, but with onshore or cross-onshore winds in the 25-30 km/h range. The energy climbs Friday morning to 430, but it’s still choppy and poor. Saturday the 5th drops to 3ft, then 3ft, and you get a little cross-shore breeze from the NW, but it’s still only 130-155 energy. Dribbly.
Sunday the 6th is tiny—2ft—and barely worth mentioning. The 7th looks interesting on paper with a 4ft swell and a 13-second period, giving 525 energy, but the wind is cross-shore from the WNW at 20 km/h. Not clean. The afternoon jumps to 6ft and 942 energy, but the wind howls to 30 km/h cross-onshore. It’s a power surge, but it’s blown out.
The 8th through the 12th are a flat, windy mess. Swells hover between 2ft and 5ft, and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, with energy dropping from 361 down to 34. That’s a rough stretch of five days with nothing to offer.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Sunday the 13th of September is your standout. The morning shows a 4ft swell from the west, with an 8-second period. The energy is 138, which is moderate. But the real story is the wind: dead calm, glassy, from the ESE at just 5 km/h. That’s the first time we see “glassy” conditions. Crow Point is a sheltered point break that rarely breaks, and it’s super inconsistent, so to get a clean, glassy morning with a 4ft swell is a rare treat. The water’s about average for this time of year, nothing wild. The crowds are *sometimes* an issue, so you might have a few others out, but with it being a rarely-breaking spot, it’s a gamble that pays off if you’re there. The afternoon stays clean, dropping to 3ft, but the morning is the real winner.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The 14th and 15th are tiny, 1ft and 1.0ft, with messy wind. The 16th has a 0.7ft morning swell, but it’s a very long 14-second period, with clean cross-offshore wind—still too small to ride. The afternoon shows a 3ft west swell with a 12-second period, and 229 energy with clean, light winds. Surfable, but small.
The one to circle is the 17th of September. Thursday morning brings a 5ft swell from the WSW, with a 10-second period, and a clean cross-offshore wind from the ENE at 10 km/h. The energy is 426, which is moderate. The conditions are clean. This is the second best window in the whole forecast, but it’s still a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it.
Overall, it’s a pretty barren run. The only real standout is the glassy morning on the 13th. If you can get out there, it’s your best shot. Otherwise, the 17th looks promising but less certain.
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.
