The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks for Crow Point.

Honestly, I’m looking at this run and I’ve got to be straight with you: the surf forecast is pretty grim for the next 16 days. There’s a massive gap of about ten days from now until the 27th of July where there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, mostly around 0.7ft to 0.7ft, and even when it’s clean, it’s just not enough to push a surfer along. The combined wave energy is weak, sitting at just 7 initially, and never really gets above 10 for that first stretch. You’d be better off taking the dog for a walk or getting the gear ready for a better day.

The first real sign of life pops up on the morning of the 28th of July. We’ve got a 4ft swell rolling in from the west, with a period of 7 seconds. The wind is light and cross-off from the NW, which will keep the surface clean. The combined energy climbs to 146 (moderate), so there’s some push there. The water is much warmer than usual for this time of year, coming in at 64°F with a 2°F anomaly – that’s a nice warm treat. But the conditions are still only described as "surfable waves but very ordinary", and the score is a low 1 out of 10. It’s not a total write-off, but it’s far from a standout. It’s a beginner-friendly wave for a tinker, but don’t expect anything epic.

The biggest swell window comes at the very end of the run, around the 31st of July and into the 1st of August. The swell builds to 7ft from the west on the 31st morning, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 441 (strong). That’s got some serious grunt. However, the wind is cross-onshore from the west at 9 mph, rising to 12 mph, making it choppy and messy. The forecast is still saying "poor surf conditions" with a score of 0. With that size and the onshore wind, it will be a lumpy, bumpy mess. Because it’s a point break, it might handle the wind slightly better than a beach, but that’s a big maybe. At 7ft, it’s only really for experienced surfers, and the cross-onshore wind will make it tricky. Crow point is a sheltered spot needing west swell, but the wind is never in our favour here.

So, my honest take: there’s no true standout session in this 16-day window. The 28th is the cleanest option, but it’s tiny. The 31st has the most power, but it’s a windy mess. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a blank run we just have to eat. Forecasts can change though, so keep an eye on it.

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.
