The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough one. The forecast is showing a whole lot of flat, small dribble for the vast majority of the period. We're looking at a solid 10-day gap with nothing worth paddling out for. From Thursday the 16th right through to the end of Saturday the 26th, the swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the energy is weak (values between 4 and 35). It's just not going to do anything.
The only real window of interest, and I'm talking about a potential for a *few* waves, kicks off on Sunday the 27th of July. The swell starts to build a little, but the quality is still a major question mark. The best of a pretty average bunch is likely to be Crow Point on Monday the 28th of July. The morning session looks your best bet with a 3ft swell from the W, and the wind is light and cross-offshore from the E – that'll keep it clean. The combined energy is moderate (50). It's a sheltered point, so it needs a bit of push, but it might just clean up. Come Monday afternoon, the swell picks up to 3ft from the W with a gentle cross-shore breeze, making it a bit choppy but rideable. The energy is up to 68 (moderate).
Now, towards the end of the run, things get a bit more interesting for the experts. On Wednesday the 30th of July, we see a jump in energy. The afternoon has a 4ft swell from the W with moderate energy (120), but the wind is cross-shore from the NW, so it'll be a bit lumpy. Thursday the 31st of July has the most energy of the whole outlook, with values hitting 140 in the morning and 157 in the afternoon. The swell is around 3ft to 4ft from the W, but the wind is onshore from the SW – that's a major issue. It'll be a messy, blown-out closeout, not a clean paddle. The period is short too, mostly 7 seconds, so it's not going to be the best shape.
To be fair, this is a break that *rarely breaks* and is a sheltered point, so it needs a perfect alignment. The water temperature is about 64°F, which is a solid 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that's a nice little bonus if you do get in.
Honestly, save your energy for the first two weeks of August. The forecast can change, but right now, this is a long stretch of poor surf.
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.
