The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what this stretch of coastline has cookin' over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you: this is a tough read. Crow Point is a sheltered little point that needs a good W swell to work, but even when the swell shows up, the wind and conditions have been absolutely blowing it out. There are no standout days here, but I'll walk you through the grim details.
We start off with nothing but frustration. From the 7th of September right through to the 14th, it's a full-on blank run. We've got solid swell heights coming through – 5ft to 6ft, mostly from the W and WSW – but the wind is a nightmare. Cross-shore, cross-onshore, onshore... it's all messy. The combined swell energy is moderate to strong, hitting a peak of 1719 on Monday afternoon the 7th, but that power is wasted. The period is all over the place, but the wind just kills any chance of a clean wave. Forget it.
There is a moment on Tuesday morning the 15th of September where it almost comes together. We get a glassy morning with a 5ft W swell. The energy is still moderate (256). The problem is the period is a short 7 seconds, making for weak, crumbly waves. It's surfable, but it’s ordinary. That's the best we see, and it's not saying much.
The rest of the second week is more of the same, just with different dates. Wednesday the 16th gets a bit raw with a 7ft WSW swell and 25 mph onshore winds – that's a serious washing machine. Then Thursday the 17th is a no-go zone for paddlers. We get a 12ft W swell with a 10-second period, pumping massive energy (2662), but it's accompanied by 19-22 mph onshore winds. That's a full-on closed-out, wind-affected mess. Honestly, for anyone with a kite, that Thursday the 17th might look more interesting than a paddle session.
We finally see a ray of light right at the tail end. On Tuesday the 22nd of September, the wind swings to a light NE offshore at 9 mph. The swell is a clean 6ft from the W with an 8-second period and moderate energy (320). That's the one day where Crow Point might actually offer a few clean, rideable waves. It's the only day I'd even consider looking at.
Bottom line: Don't hold your breath. This is a long, bleak stretch with only one or two barely surfable windows. The last Tuesday on the 22nd is your only real chance for a semi-decent session with clean conditions.
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.
