The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Crow Point over the next couple of weeks. I'll be straight with you—it's a tough stretch ahead.
Right off the bat, Crow Point is a sheltered, rarely-breaking point break, and this forecast is a long, long haul of frustration. The water temp is sittin' at a balmy 66°, which is 4° warmer than normal for this time of year. That's notable, real unusual for August.
We're looking at a massive dry spell. From now, right through until the end of August and into early September, there's just nothing doing. Day after day of tiny, weak, or onshore junk with no quality. We get a few pulses of swell, like around the 29th of August when the combined energy jumps to 1436 (strong), with 10ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 22 mph creating lumpy conditions. It's big, but it's a messy, blown-out mess. That setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than a paddle session.
Eventually, we finally get a glimmer of hope. On Friday the 4th of September, the conditions start to line up. We're looking at a 6ft to 7ft swell from the WSW (which is close to that optimum W direction), but it's the wind that's the key. We get a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the N to NNW, which will clean things right up. The combined energy is moderate at 493-552, and the period is short at 8 seconds, so it's not a groundswell—more of a windswell bump. Still, clean 7ft waves at a sheltered point is the only standout in this whole 16-day window. It's not perfect, but it's the only game in town. If you're keen, that's your window.
So, if you're desperate, pencil in Friday the 4th of September for a chance. Otherwise, this is a blank run that's pretty normal for this spot. Forecasts can change, but for now, it's a waiting game.
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.
