The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's going down at Crow Point.
To be blunt, this stretch is lean. This is a west-facing point break that's sheltered and rarely breaks, and the next two weeks aren't doing it any favors. There’s a long gap where you’d be wasting your time. The whole first week from August 22nd through the end of the month is just tiny, weak swell. We're talking 1-foot to 1.5-foot west-northwest waves with long 10-second periods, but the combined energy is only 39—barely a pulse. The winds are cross-offshore, keeping it clean, but there's just no push to wrap into the point. It’s a total no-go.
Into the first week of September, the size finally shows up, but it's ugly. On August 27th, the swell jumps to around 7 feet with a short 8-second period, bringing a strong 531 combined energy. But it's straight onshore and messy. By September 3rd, the swell hits 8 feet with an 11-second period and a very strong 1464 energy, but again, it's a washout with onshore winds and rain. At that size and with that wind, the setup here might look better for kite surfing than a paddle session.
Now, there's exactly one tiny window. Look at Friday morning, September 4th. We get a 5-foot west-southwest swell with a 9-second period, a moderate 413 energy, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the north-northwest. It says 'expect good surf conditions', though it's only a lightweight 2/10 chance. That’s your single, one-morning hope for a few clean, chest-high waves. After that, it's straight back to flatness.
So, the story is: a long, dry wait. The only possible standout is that Friday, September 4th morning—and it’s a long shot. For everything else, save the wax.

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.
