The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk Crow Point.
This 16-day outlook is a grind. Real tough stretch. Crow Point is a west-facing point that *rarely breaks*, and this forecast doesn’t do it any favors. Most days have strong onshore or cross-shore winds wrecking any potential. There’s a big dry spell at the start with nothing to get excited about.
From the get-go, Monday 31st August and Tuesday 1st September are useless – wind howling 15-22 mph from the wrong directions, lumpy chop, and combined energy running from moderate (840) to low (107). Water temp is 66°, which is 5° warmer than average – that’s a noticeable bump for this time of year.
Wednesday 2nd through Thursday 3rd are a wash. Onshore wind, short period swell (4-5 seconds), poor quality. Then Saturday 5th September morning gives us a tiny window. Wind goes glassy (3 mph from the west) at Crow Point. Swell is tiny at 2ft from the west with a nice 10-second period, combined energy moderate at 120. It’s surfable but very average. If you’re keen for a quiet session with a log, that’s the moment, but it won’t light your world on fire.
The real pulse hits Monday 14th September. Swell jumps to 8ft from the WSW with a 5-second period, and combined energy roars to strong (910-1119). That’s serious power. But the wind is onshore all day (12-16 mph from the SW/WSW). For a point break, that onshore wind will mess it up proper – lumpy, bumpy, hard work. At 8ft, that’s for experts only, and with the wind on it, honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than a clean paddle.
No standout sessions here. The water is notably warmer than average, but that doesn’t fix the waves. If that 14th September swell ever got an offshore wind, we’d be talking, but right now it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can shift, but Crow Point ain’t giving us much to work with.
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.
