The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are a real struggle. There’s no surf worth paddling out for. The only wave in the forecast is Crow Point, and it’s a rare-breaking, sheltered little point that needs a very specific W swell to get going. The numbers just never get there. The biggest swell we see is a tiny 2ft from the west, and the combined energy rarely breaks past 68 (weak energy). It’s a flat spell, plain and simple.
Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st of July kick off with 2ft W swell, but the wind is cross and choppy, making it a complete write-off. Saturday morning the 1st of August cleans up a bit with a light NNW breeze, but the swell is still only 2ft. By Saturday afternoon it drops to 1ft, and the period jumps to 9 seconds, but the swell is from the WSW and the wind swings cross. The morning of Sunday the 2nd has a light E breeze and clean conditions, but the swell is a measly 1ft. Monday the 3rd of August sees a brief return to 2ft WSW swell, and the wind is cross-off from the ENE, offering clean conditions, but the energy is still low (68).
After that, it’s a long, slow fade. From Tuesday the 4th through to Friday the 14th of August, swell heights hover between 0.3ft and 1ft, with periods that are all over the place. There are some lovely glassy mornings on the 4th, 5th, and 6th, and some clean offshore winds on the 6th, 7th, and 8th, but there’s simply no wave to push you. The strongest offshore wind hits on the 8th and 9th with 25 mph ENE, but it’s blowing over 0.3ft of swell – that’s more of a kite session than a paddle. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
It’s a tough stretch. Crow Point rarely breaks at the best of times, and this window is a total dud. Sometimes the area just goes quiet, and this is one of those times. Keep an eye on the charts, because it never stays flat forever.
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.
