The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, long gap with no real surf on offer. The first week and a half is basically a write-off. The wind is just too strong and from the wrong directions, and the swell is either small or messy. It’s not until Tuesday the 15th of September that we even get a sniff of something worth paddling out for.
The only wave that shows its face is Crow Point, a sheltered point break that rarely breaks. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but it’s inconsistent, and the crowds are only sometimes an issue. The water temp is sitting at 66°, with a 3° anomaly – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the 5/4 at home.
Now, through the first week, from Tuesday the 1st through to Sunday the 13th, it’s all poor surf conditions. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is weak, with combined energy bouncing between 35 and 432 (moderate). The biggest pulses are around Thursday the 4th (432) and Monday the 7th (721), but the wind is just ruining it. The setup is a beach-and-reef point, so with that strong wind and chop, it’s looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The one and only stand-out happens on Tuesday the 15th of September. In the morning, we get a window of glassy conditions with a light breeze from the south at just 5 km/h. The swell is a small 3 ft from the west, with a nice long period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is a moderate 149. It’s only surfable, not epic, but after a fortnight of nothing, that glassy clean face will feel like a miracle. The afternoon sees a side-shore breeze, so the morning is the move.
After that, it’s back to small, weak swell and average wind for the rest of the 16th.
So, the harsh truth is: there’s 13 days of junk to wait through for one clean, small morning. If you’re desperate, pencil in the 15th. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and wait for the next system.
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.
