The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for Crow Point is a tough one. We’ve got a 16-day window, but it’s a long, flat run with not a single standout session on the cards. The swell is tiny, the wind is often messy, and the quality just isn’t there for a proper paddle session.
The first sniff of any surf comes on Friday, July 31st, but it’s not worth wetting a wetsuit for. We’ve got a weak 2ft swell from the west, a short 5-second period, and a cross-shore wind at 15 mph. The combined energy is a measly 32 – that’s barely a ripple. The water is a warm 65°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only positive.
The whole first week of August is a write-off. Saturday the 1st through Monday the 3rd show tiny, weak swells, mostly under 3ft, with periods all over the place. Even Monday the 3rd morning goes glassy, with a 2ft swell and a 9-second period, pushing the energy up to 79, but it’s still labelled "poor surf conditions." The wind is mostly cross or cross-off, but the wave quality just isn’t there.
We get a bit more energy mid-week, but it’s all wrong. Tuesday the 4th afternoon sees a 4ft swell from the WSW, but the period drops to a weak 7 seconds, and the energy climbs to 124. The problem is the onshore and cross-onshore winds, making it choppy and unsurfable. Wednesday the 5th is similar, with a 5ft swell and energy hitting 217, but it’s all cross-onshore chop. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The second week is more of the same. There’s a brief moment on Sunday the 9th morning where the swell bumps up to 5ft from the west with a 9-second period, and the energy jumps to 536 – a moderate spike. But the wind is cross-shore at 9 mph, and it’s labeled "poor surf conditions." By the afternoon, the swell is 6ft, but the wind picks up to 15 mph and the period drops to 8 seconds, killing any chance of clean waves. This is a spot that rarely breaks, and sadly, this forecast shows exactly why.
We finish out the run with tiny, weak swells and strong side-shore winds, nothing worth chasing. The energy levels are all two-digit lows, and the wave comment never changes. It’s a blank run, and for an area like this, that’s more normal than a surprise.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, but don’t hold your breath for this stretch.

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.
