Crow Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s on offer for Crow Point. Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you: this stretch of the 16-day window is a quiet one. The swell is tiny, period is short, and the energy just isn't there for a proper surf. The combined swell energy mostly sits in the single digits and low teens (6 to 16), which is weak, mate. The first real blip of interest doesn't even show up until Saturday the 25th, and even then, it's a struggle.

The first week-plus is a write-off. From Friday the 17th right through to Friday the 24th, we’re looking at waves that barely break your knees. Swell heights are hanging around 0.3ft to 0.7ft, with a few brief moments bumping up to 3ft late on the 23rd, but the period is all over the place and the energy is pathetic. The wind is often cross or cross-off, which would keep things clean, but there’s simply nothing to ride. It’s a long, slow gap with no real surf to recommend.

Now, things shift a little over the weekend. Saturday morning the 25th is the first time we see a pulse of energy worth mentioning. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the west, and the combined energy hits 156 – that’s moderate energy, finally. The period is a weak 6 seconds though, so it’s windswell, not groundswell. The wind is cross-off from the NNW, so it’ll be clean. But with that short period, it’s going to be a bit crumbly and won’t have much push. This is really the only period that even sniffs at being surfable, but don’t expect much. Crow Point is a sheltered, rarely-breaking spot, so even a small pulse like this is a gamble. Crowds are only sometimes, but with conditions this marginal, you’ll likely have it to yourself.

Sunday morning the 26th hangs in there with a 4ft west swell, but the period is still a short 7 seconds, and the energy drops to 131. The wind is light and cross from the NW, so it’s not terrible, but it’s still not a standout. Things fade again after that, with the swell dropping back under 3ft through the end of the month and into August.

Bottom line: there’s no standout, no day to circle on the calendar. The best you’ll get is a small, clean, but weak window on the 25th and 26th for a longboard or a foiler. For the rest of the time, the water temp is about average for the time of year, but the lack of swell is the real story. Keep the board waxed, but don’t get your hopes up.

Rusty.
