The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s talk Crow Point. This place is a tricky little point break – it rarely breaks, so when it does you’ve got to be ready. It’s sheltered, best with a solid W swell, and the water’s running at 66°, which is about 5° warmer than normal for this time of year – a real treat if you’re used to cold water.
Now, looking ahead, I’ve got to be straight with you: the next two weeks are mostly a write-off. From Thursday the 10th through to Wednesday the 23rd of September, it’s all poor conditions – onshore winds, choppy, small junk. You’ll see some pulses of swell but the wind and quality just aren’t there. That’s a solid 13 days of not much to get excited about.
Then things get a little interesting. On Thursday the 24th of September morning, a bigger swell rolls in – 7 ft from the W, but it’s short period (8 sec) and cross-on wind, so still messy. The afternoon gets a bit better: 8 ft from the W, still short period, but the wind swings WNW light cross, making it cleaner. The combined swell energy jumps to 1086 (very strong), but it’s marginal – short period means lumpy, walled-up waves more suited to experts. Beginners, stay away – over 8 ft is only for the experienced.
Friday the 25th sees that energy drop but still solid: 7 ft from the W, period still short, but now we get clean ESE cross-off wind. Morning and afternoon both look clean, though the swell energy is moderate to strong (503 and 474). Still, the short period and the fact it’s a rarely-breaking spot means you’ve got to be picky. Crowds are possible – it’s listed as “sometimes” busy.
Honestly, the only half-decent window is Thursday afternoon 24th through Friday 25th. But don’t expect perfection – it’s more of a “maybe” than a “must-do.” If you’re a local who knows the sandbanks, you might score a few. For everyone else, maybe keep the board waxed and wait for the next proper groundswell.
Signing off – 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.
