The Lowdown
Alright, here’s the deal with Crow Point. It’s a sheltered little point break for beginners, but it’s a rare one – doesn’t break often. This 16-day stretch? Mostly a bust. We’re looking at a long, flat start. From now through the end of July and into the first week of August, there’s hardly anything you’d want to paddle for. Small swell, short periods, and wind that’s always a little off. There are big gaps of total junk. Water temp is about 66°, which is way warmer than usual, so at least you won’t be cold while sitting there waiting.
The first little flicker comes on the 30th of July, Thursday morning. A 1.5m swell from the west with a 6-second period, but the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, and the energy is just moderate (165). Still poor. Thursday afternoon clears up but the swell drops.
It drags on into August. On the 4th of August, Tuesday morning, the swell bumps to 1.5m from the west-southwest, with a longer 10-second period. The energy jumps strong (424), but the wind is a stiff 30 km/h straight onshore. Lots of lump, no love. Tuesday afternoon is the same with 1.6m and cross-onshore wind. That’s kiteboard territory, not surf.
The one and only real standout? Saturday morning, the 8th of August. That’s more than a week out, so don’t bet the farm, but it looks good. A 2.3m swell from the west-southwest, 9-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the northeast at 10 km/h. The energy is very strong (846). That offshore wind will make it clean, and that swell direction is right in the sweet spot for Crow Point. For a spot that’s usually inconsistent and sheltered, that’s your window. It’ll be a bit much for true beginners at that size, but for anyone with a few sessions under their belt, that’s the one.
The afternoon of the 8th, the wind flips and it goes ordinary. After that, it fades back into small, onshore slop. So if you’re waiting, Saturday the 8th morning is it. Nothing else in this stretch comes close.

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.
