Crow Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, I’m gonna level with ya. Right now, and for the next couple of weeks, it’s a tough beat. We’ve got this one spot, Crow Point, and it’s a point break that’s sheltered and only rarely breaks, so you gotta be patient. The forecast is a long, dry spell of "poor surf conditions" for the entire 16-day window, with no scores above zero. This is one of those stretches where you’re better off tying the board to the roof and going for a drive.

The first record kicks off on Friday, July 31st, but it’s a total non-starter. We’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the WNW at a weak 5-second period, so it’s just wind slop. The combined energy is a measly 29 (weak), and it’s a cross-shore breeze at 12 mph. It’s a write-off.

The water temp is sitting at 65°F, which is a good 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s notable – feels like a warm bath compared to the norm, but it won’t help the waves.

We roll into Saturday, August 1st, and the swell drops to 2ft from the W, period still a pathetic 5 seconds. Energy is 39 (weak). The morning is clean with a cross-off breeze, but it’s just too small and weak to do anything on. Sunday, August 2nd, sees the swell bottom out at 1ft from the WSW with an 8-second period. Energy is a weak 22. The afternoon gets a glassy offshore breeze from the NE at 3 mph, but again, you’re looking at barely a ripple.

The pattern keeps repeating. Monday, August 3rd, has a 2ft swell from the WSW with a 9-second period, energy building to 80 (still weak). The morning is clean, but it’s not enough to get excited about. Tuesday and Wednesday flirt with a 3ft swell, but the wind goes onshore or choppy, and the period drops back to 7 seconds. The energy climbs to 86-90, still only moderate at best, but the quality is ruined by the wind.

For the rest of the first week and into the second, it’s the same story: swell heights hover between 0.3ft and 2ft, periods are short (6-9 seconds), and the combined energy stays weak (10-47). The only glimmer is a glassy morning on Tuesday, August 11th, with a 1ft swell from the WSW at a 10-second period, energy at 36. But 1ft is ankle-snappers, and the period is still just moderate.

The last few days, from August 14th to 15th, we see a little bump to 3ft from the W with a 7-second period, energy hitting 88. But the wind is howling onshore or cross-onshore at 15-18 mph, making it a choppy, blown-out mess. For a point break that needs clean conditions, this is just a waste.

Honestly, there’s nothing here that’s even a "standout" option. The wave energy never gets past moderate, and the consistent poor surf conditions mean you’re gambling on a sandbar that rarely breaks anyway. This is one of those times where the forecast is honest – you’re better off waiting for the next system or finding a river mouth that might pull something from the WSW swell, but even then, it’s a long shot. The 16-day window is a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual.

So, hang loose, keep the board in the bag, and check back in a week. The forecast can change, but right now, it’s a no-go.
