The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. Straight up, it’s a tough stretch for paddle surfing. This is one of those periods where you’ll be fighting the wind more than riding the wave. For most of the 16-day run, conditions are just not cooperating.
We’re looking at a long, frustrating gap with no real surf recommendations. From now through to the morning of Saturday, September 28th, the forecast is a write-off. The wind is consistently onshore, cross-onshore, or just plain messy, and the wave quality is poor. There’s energy in the water at times – like on Wednesday the 16th morning, the combined swell energy is moderate at 506 – but it’s all wasted by the wind. The swell direction is mainly from the west, which is the optimum for Crow Point, but with a fresh breeze blowing, it’s not doing anyone any favours.
You might see some size, like 7 ft on Saturday the 19th morning (energy 516) or 10 ft on Sunday the 20th afternoon (energy 964), but with the wind slapping it onshore, it’s just a lumpy, choppy mess. Honestly, at times with that kind of wind and a beach-and-reef setup, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddling a surfboard.
The only glimmer of hope comes right at the very end. On Monday the 28th of September morning, things finally settle. We get a light breeze from the east with a cross-offshore wind, cleaning things right up. The swell is small, just 3 ft from the west, but the period stretches to 9 seconds (groundswell), and the combined energy is 130. For the first time in weeks, conditions are described as "clean". It’s not pumping, but it’s surfable. This is the standout of the whole forecast, simply because it’s the only time the wind lets you actually surf.
So, the takeaway? The first 15 days are basically a write-off for quality waves. Don’t bother checking the cams until that last weekend. The setup on the 28th is your only real shot, and even then, keep expectations low. Crow Point is a point break that rarely breaks, so a session like this is a bonus. Wait it out.
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.
