The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The outlook here is pretty grim for most of the next two weeks. Crow Point is a sheltered point break that rarely breaks, and over this 16-day window, it’s mostly a dud. The first recommendation doesn’t pop up until the morning of Monday the 7th of September, so you’re looking at a solid gap of over a week with no surf worth paddling for. From Thursday the 27th of August right through to Sunday the 6th of September, it’s all poor surf conditions – messy onshore winds, small weak swell, and a lot of rain and wind messing things up. The swell energy stays weak, with combined energy hitting as low as 10 (very weak) and climbing only to moderate levels like 441 (moderate) in the worst of the wind. Nothing to get excited about.
Then, finally, on Monday the 7th of September, we get a bit of a pulse. The morning shows a 7ft swell from the west with a 8-second period, and a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the northwest. Combined energy here is 491 (moderate), and the call is “expect good surf conditions.” That’s our standout. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual. Crow Point is a sheltered point, so a west swell with a clean wind should give some lined-up waves, but remember this spot rarely breaks – so it’s a special day if it’s working. The afternoon Monday glass off with a 6ft west swell and light northwest wind is also clean, but the waves are just ordinary. Tuesday the 8th drops right back to 4ft with lumpy cross-shore wind, not worth it.
The next real highlight is Friday the 11th of September morning – a solid 8ft swell from the west with a 9-second period, combined energy of 982 (strong), and a light cross-offshore breeze from the north-northeast. That’s expert territory at 8ft, and with clean conditions, it could be a proper session if the bank holds. But that’s a long way off, so keep an eye on the forecast.
Bottom line: don’t bother for the first week. The 7th morning is the best of a bad run, and the 11th morning looks promising but is a long-range call. Everything else is poor surf or too small and messy.

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.
