The Lowdown
Alright, partner. Let’s be straight: Crow Point is looking like a dud for the next couple weeks. Water’s sittin’ at 66°F, a good bit warmer than average, but that don’t mean squat if there’s no surf to ride.
Crow Point is a sheltered, rarely-breaking point break that needs a W swell to light up. The first 12 days are a total blank. We’re talking ankle-snappers from Sunday the 16th onward. The biggest pulse we see is on Thursday the 20th with a 5ft swell, but a fresh 16 mph cross-shore wind is gonna put a chop on it, and the combined energy is only a moderate 283. It’s all flagged as poor surf.
You get a few clean-looking mornings on the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd with some cross-offshore breezes, but the swell is pathetic – like 1ft to 2ft tops. The combined energy is in the weak range, up to about 41.
Finally, on Friday the 28th of August, you get a pulse. A 6ft swell from the WSW with an 8-second period gives a strong combined energy of 704. But it’s totally onshore. That kind of onshore wind on a shallow spot is just a closeout mess. It’s more of a kiteboarding deal.
After that, it fades back to 5ft and 4ft with cross and cross-on winds. The wind’s always up, and the quality is rated poor.
Bottom line: There’s no standout session here. It’s a complete dry spell, which for a spot that rarely breaks anyway is just the way it goes. Sometimes you get skunked. Better luck next time.

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.
