The Lowdown
Alright, I’m lookin’ at the whole 16-day window here, and straight up – it’s a tough one. Crow Point is the only break on the radar, and it’s what we call a “rarely breaks” kind of spot. For the first week and a half, we’re talkin’ flat or near-flat with no real surf to speak of. The main issue is that swell is just too small and the wind’s messy. We’ve got a solid gap from now until around the 7th of August where the surf is just not worth paddlin’ out for.
The only real glimmer of hope shows up way down the line, on Saturday the 8th of August. That morning, we see a bump in the swell – about 6ft out of the WSW, with a period of 8 seconds. The wave energy is strong, with a combined energy of 489. The wind is light and cross-shore from the NW, which should keep things fairly clean. This is the standout of the whole run, but it’s a long way off and nothing’s guaranteed. The swell is pushin’ over 5ft, so it’s gettin’ a bit much for the beginners, but for the experienced crew, it has potential. Keep in mind though, the period is short, so it might be a bit messy and not hold that classic shape.
The afternoon on the 8th drops off a touch to 6ft, but the wind picks up a bit, gettin’ more cross-shore and lumpy. It’s not the same quality.
So, honestly, if you’re a surfer around here, you’re waitin’ for that Saturday the 8th – and even then, treat it as a hopeful maybe. The rest of the forecast is a bust. The water temperature at Crow Point is 65°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a nice little bonus, but it doesn’t help the waves.
The setup is a sheltered point, so it needs a clean swell from the west to really work, and we just aren’t gettin’ that consistently. For the first week, this is more of a kite-surfing kind of wind if you’re desperate for a session, but for paddle surfing, it’s a dry spell.

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.
