The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a grim stretch for the whole 16-day window. I’ve combed through every bit of data, and there’s not a single session that I’d call worth paddling out for. The numbers are all zeroes across the board – no recommendations, no standouts, nothing. It’s a dry spell, plain and simple.
The first real chance of any swell energy pops up around Sunday, July 26th, but even then, the combined energy of all swells directed here is only 158 (moderate), and it’s paired with a fresh cross-shore breeze that’s gonna leave the surface lumpy and cross-chop. That’s not a good look. The swell builds through the end of July and into early August, with the biggest push coming on Saturday, August 1st, where the swell height hits 10 ft from the WSW, and the combined energy jumps to 1288 (strong to very strong). But that’s a full-on onshore wind, and the wave comment calls it “marginal” at best, with a score of 1 out of 10. That’s only for the experts – if you’re a beginner, stay well away from anything over 5 ft, and this is triple that.
For the rest of the period, it’s a parade of poor surf conditions. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, with speeds ranging from 9 to 19 mph, and the swell heights barely tickle 0.7 ft to 5 ft most days, with periods all under 8 seconds – that’s short-period wind chop, not groundswell. The water temperature sits at 64°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year (an anomaly of 4°F). That’s notable, but it doesn’t help the waves.
The break itself, Crow Point, is a sheltered point that rarely breaks – and this forecast confirms it. Inconsistent at best. There’s a couple of glassy moments on Tuesday morning, July 28th, with a 1.0 ft W swell and 6-second period, but the energy is only 12 (weak) and it’s still called “poor surf conditions.” The whole second week from August 1st onward is a washout, with onshore winds and fading swell. Monday, August 3rd, has a 3 ft swell from the W with a 16 mph onshore wind – that’s just messy.
Bottom line: there’s nothing to chase here. When the area is this inconsistent, a blank run like this is more normal for the location. Keep your gear dry, crack a beer, and wait for the next system. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a no-go.

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.
