The Lowdown
Alright, let’s cut to it. The next couple of weeks at Crow Point are looking pretty damn slim. I’ve been staring at the charts, and I gotta say, it’s a whole lot of nothing for a long stretch.
From now through the 10th, it's a total dry spell. We're looking at a solid eight or nine days with hardly a wave to ride. Swell heights are mostly tiny, nothing over a meter, and the energy is just pathetic, with combined readings mostly in the 20s and 30s (weak), with a couple of weak blips into the 100s around the 5th and 6th. Even the clean, glassy mornings are a waste, because there's just no push. This is a proper blank run, and for a spot that is this inconsistent, it’s not that unusual.
But I’m not one to get too down. It can't stay this poor forever.
Then, in the second week, things finally start to stir. The first real sign of life is on Tuesday the 11th in the afternoon. The swell jumps up to 5ft from the WSW, and the energy suddenly reads 370 (moderate). That’s the biggest push we’ve seen all forecast. The wind is a cross-onshore, so it won't be perfect, but there’s finally some size to work with.
The next morning, Wednesday the 12th, still has some decent size at around 4ft, with the energy at 265 (moderate). Again, the wind is cross-onshore, but this is your only real window. That’s over a week out, so treat it as promising but with a lot less certainty.
From that point, the swell and energy bounce around a bit, but the wind turns onshore and fresh, and the whole thing gets messy, ending with a full-on howling on the 16th.
That mid-week window around the 11th and 12th will be pushing head-high and a bit beyond, so it’s no place for beginners. This point needs the right westerly direction, and we get it, but the wind just keeps messing it up. The periods are mostly in the 7-9 second range, so it’s junky windswell, not a clean, long-period groundswell. With the onshore wind, it might end up being a better day for the kite surfers than us paddle surfers.
Keep the faith, and mark that 11th and 12th on your calendar.

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.
