Table - best surf conditions forecast for Crow Point over the next 16 days.
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what we’ve got coming up.
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this is a rough one. The entire 16-day run is looking pretty flat for Crow Point. Every single surf check is marked as "poor surf conditions" and the numbers back it up: tiny swell, low energy, and nothing to get excited about. The water’s running at 63°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
We kick off on Thursday 9th July with a 2ft W swell and a 10-second period. It’s glassy in the morning, which is nice, but there’s just no power behind it. The energy is weak (48). Friday 10th is a little cleaner with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is still only 2ft. By Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th, the swell drops away to 1ft and 0.7ft. A bit of offshore wind on Sunday afternoon, but it’s barely a ripple.
From Monday 13th July through the end of the first week, we’re looking at tiny 0.3ft to 1ft swells. The wind is mostly clean or cross-offshore, but the wave energy is in the low double digits (11 to 27). That’s as flat as it gets.
Into the second week, things don’t turn around. From Wednesday 15th July to Tuesday 21st July, we see a tiny bump to 3ft on the 21st and 22nd, but the period is only 6 seconds – that’s short-period, weak, mushy stuff. The wind is mostly cross or cross-off, but the energy only gets up to 88, which is still weak. By Friday 24th July, we’re back to 1ft.
There’s nothing here. No standout, no sneaky session. Crow Point is a sheltered spot that rarely breaks, and this forecast confirms a long dry spell. The break is a point, so it needs a decent W swell to work, and it’s just not getting any. For a beginner, this is a total no-go. For anyone else, it’s a waste of time. This kind of flat spell is more normal for the area, so don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.
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.
Crow Point is 2 km (1 miles) from Appledore. If you plan a holiday in North Devon, look for hotels and other accommodation in Appledore. Appledore has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
