The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Crow Point.

First off, the water is feeling noticeably warmer than usual for this time of year – about 66°, which is a solid 5° above the norm. That’s a treat, but the surf report? Not so much.

Honestly, the next two weeks are a real tough stretch for Crow Point. It's a sheltered, rarely-breaking point break that needs a clean W swell, and while there's a bit of energy from time to time, the wind is almost always blowing the wrong way or too hard. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of this period.

We start off with tiny, weak waves. On Tuesday, August 25th, we’re looking at a mere 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft of swell from the west, with a period around 8-10 seconds. The combined energy is basically non-existent (10 to 27). It’s a no-go. This flat, poor pattern continues right through the rest of the week and into the weekend.

By Saturday, August 29th, the swell actually jumps up – we get a 8 ft swell from the WSW on the morning, but it’s a raw, onshore mess with 22 mph winds. The combined energy is strong (728), but the quality is terrible. Sunday, August 30th, is more of the same: fresh onshore winds and lumpy, choppy conditions.

The first week of September is a bust. Strong to near-gale-force winds from the SW and WSW will rip into anything that's breaking. On Tuesday, September 1st, we see 8 ft with 28 mph onshore winds (energy 727). By Wednesday, September 2nd, it’s still ugly with 7 ft and strong cross-onshore winds. This is blown-out, dangerous stuff for all but the most experienced, and honestly, it’s just not fun.

There is a small glimmer of hope late in the window. On Wednesday, September 9th, the wind finally drops. We get a 5 ft west swell at 11 seconds in the morning, with a light cross-shore breeze. The combined energy is moderate (492). It’s still a marginal call, and the break is rarely consistent, so it’s a gamble. But if you’re desperate, that morning session might give you a few clean, long-period lines. The afternoon is cleaner but the swell drops off a bit to 4 ft.

Right now, Crow Point is a write-off for the next 12 days. The only window with a prayer is that Wednesday, September 9th, but don't get your hopes up too high.

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.

Crow Point is 2 km (1 miles) from Appledore. If you plan a holiday in North Devon, look for hotels and other accommodation in Appledore. Appledore has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
