The Lowdown

Alright, grab your wettie, let’s get into it. I’m Rusty, and here’s the straight-up for the next couple of weeks.

Look, I gotta be honest with you. This stretch is a grind. For the first dozen days or so, we’ve got a whole lotta nothing worth paddling out for. There are very few breaks on the books and this little corner of the coast is in a proper rut. The good news? There’s a flash of something promising right at the very end of the window, but you’ll need to be patient.

The first decent sniff of a wave doesn't show until the 23rd of September. That’s a gap of over a week with no real recommendations. From now until then, it’s a write-off. Crow Point is a point break that rarely breaks as it is, and for the first 12 days it’s either onshore, choppy, or just flat with weak energy. The water temperature on the 10th of September was sitting at 66°F, which is 5°F warmer than the usual for this time of year—you’d think that’d be nice for a dip, but not for surfing. You’re looking at a string of “poor surf conditions” every single session. A lot of strong breezes and onshores from the SSW and SW, just ruining any chance of shape.

Now, fast forward to the 23rd of September—that’s a Wednesday morning. Finally, something shifts. The wind goes glassy out of the SE, and we get a bump of 8ft swell from the WSW with an 8-second period. That’s moderate wave energy coming in at 708. It’s right on the edge of being too big for beginners at over 8ft, but for the experienced crew, this is a real standout—your best bet of the whole forecast. Glassy winds and a clean face at Crow Point? That’s rare. Then, Wednesday afternoon swings to a light cross-offshore from the N, still clean, with the same 8ft swell but now the energy jumps to a very strong 1014. That’s the kind of power that makes your heart beat faster. Swell direction is W, which isn’t the perfect optimum from the W for this sheltered spot, but it’s close enough.

Thursday the 24th still looks tidy. Morning brings a cross-off ESE breeze at 10 mph with 5ft of W swell and 759 of energy—clean and good conditions. The afternoon improves even more: easterly light breeze, cross-off, 5ft swell, but the period stretches out to 11 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and it’ll hold up nicely at a point break like this. Energy is still strong at 545.

By Friday the 25th, the energy drops off a cliff to 91 in the morning, and the period is a crumbly 5 seconds. Not worth your time.

So here's the call: sit tight, skip the whole first two weeks, and aim everything at the 23rd and 24th of September. That’s where the magic lies. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the forecasts, but if it holds, you’ll be rewarded. Crow Point is a spot that rarely breaks, so when it does, and it’s clean, you don’t miss it. Just know it can get busy—crowds are sometimes an issue, so get in early.

This is Rusty, signing off. See you in the water.

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.
