The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this straight. I’m lookin’ at the full 16-day window, and I gotta tell ya, it’s a tough one. There’s a long stretch here where the surf just isn’t cooperating. The first real swell we see is on Monday, August 3rd, but it’s weak, messy, and the wind is all wrong. The whole period is a write-off, honestly. There’s a gap from about Thursday afternoon, August 6th, all the way through to the end on Tuesday, August 18th, with nothing worth paddling out for. The energy just drops off a cliff.
The only spot on the radar is Crow Point, a point break that rarely breaks. It’s a sheltered setup, needs a west swell, and it’s just not gettin’ it. The best we see is on Wednesday, August 5th, with a 6ft swell from the west, but the period is a short, punchy 7 to 8 seconds. That’s not a groundswell, that’s just wind chop. The combined energy peaks at 476 (moderate), but the wind is a stubborn cross-onshore, 15-18 mph, making it choppy and lumpy. Conditions are rated poor. It’s a no-go.
For a beginner, that 6ft is already too big and messy. For an expert? It’s a blown-out, short-period mess. The wind is never offshore, and the couple of times it goes glassy, the swell is tiny – 1ft or less. This is one of those rare periods where the forecast is just a flat, windy blank. It’s normal for a spot that rarely breaks, but it still stings. Don’t waste your time. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those windy days, but even then, it’s not great.

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.
