The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s be straight, it’s a pretty grim run for the next couple of weeks. The only break that’s even on the radar is Crow Point, but it’s a tricky one. It’s a point break that rarely breaks, and even when it does, it’s sheltered. The golden rule with this spot is you need a clean westerly swell and the right wind. For the next 16 days, the setup just isn’t there.
The first bit of hope comes on Saturday, August 3rd. The morning is glassy with a light 2ft swell from the west-southwest, but it’s poor surf. The energy is weak, a measly 77. It’s got a 9-second period, which is okay, but it’s just not enough to get the point working properly. The water temp is 65°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it’s comfortable to sit out there.
The following Wednesday, the 7th, is actually the best it gets. The morning has a light 4ft west-southwest swell, but it’s a short 7-second period and the wind is cross-onshore and choppy. It’s not great. The energy is moderate at 164, but the conditions are rough.
The run of poor quality goes on and on. There’s a 10-day gap with no real recommendation. The only day that even gets a “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” rating is Sunday, August 16th. The afternoon has a 4ft west swell, a 6-second period, and moderate offshore wind from the northeast. The energy is moderate at 143, and it’s clean. It’s the only time the wind is truly offshore, so if you’re desperate, you could get a few little ones. But it’s not a standout.
The best on offer, if you can call it that, is the morning of August 12th. The afternoon has a 3ft west-southwest swell with a 10-second period, cross-offshore wind, and clean conditions. The energy is moderate at 157, but it’s still not enough to get Crow Point truly breaking. The crowd situation is “sometimes,” so you might have a few others out.
Overall, it’s a blank run. Crow Point is rarely consistent, and this forecast proves it. The swell is too small, the wind is usually wrong, and the energy is weak. It’s not a place to get excited about right now. Keep an eye on it, but don’t plan a trip.
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.
