The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and Fahrenheit.
Right then, it’s a grim couple of weeks for Crow Point. This is a point break that rarely breaks, and you’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. From Tuesday 21 July all the way through to Tuesday 4 August, the swell is tiny – mostly 0.7ft to 1ft, with periods that don’t offer any real punch. The energy readings are pathetic, mostly single digits to low double digits. The wind does offer some clean, glassy moments and even some offshore breezes, but it’s a waste because there’s just no wave. The water temp is 64°, which is 4° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s much warmer than usual, so you’d be fine in a spring suit.
Then you hit a long dry spell until the very end. The only glimmer is on Wednesday 5 August. The morning brings a 4ft swell from the WSW, with a 7-second period, and the combined energy hits 137 (moderate). The wind is dead calm, glassy – it’s clean. That’s the one moment where it’s rideable, but it’s still nothing special. By the afternoon, the wind turns onshore from the WSW at 12 mph, and that’s curtains. Crow Point is a sheltered spot, needing a solid west swell, and this little bump just doesn’t cut it.
Honestly, a blank run like this is pretty standard for a place that’s so inconsistent. Don’t get your hopes up.

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.
