Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Crow Point.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. Crow Point is a sheltered, west-facing point break that rarely breaks, and this 16-day stretch is a real struggle. We're looking at a long, frustrating gap with no real surf to speak of. The forecast is showing nothing but "poor surf conditions" across the board, day after day. It's a bit of a blank run, which, for a spot this finicky, is more the norm than the exception.

The first few days are a write-off. Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th see tiny, weak swell at around 1ft to 2ft, with combined energy readings of only 32 and 58, respectively – that's barely a ripple. The water temperature is a notable 63°, which is a solid 4° warmer than usual for this time of year, so it's a bit muggy out there.

We then hit a massive dead zone. From Saturday the 11th right through to Thursday the 16th, the swell is almost non-existent, with combined energy levels dropping into the teens and single digits. The wind is mostly offshore or clean, but with waves of 0.3ft to 1ft, there's nothing to ride. It's a painful stretch of flatness.

Things try to pick up a little around the 17th and 18th. On Friday the 17th, we see some 3ft swell from the west, but the period is a short, weak 5–6 seconds, and the energy is still low at 47 to 71. The wind is cross-shore, creating a bit of a chop. Saturday the 18th is the best of a bad bunch, with the combined energy finally hitting a moderate three-digit level of 120, and a 3ft to 4ft west-northwest swell. The problem is the wind is moderate and cross-shore, so it’s messy. Despite the jump in energy, the call is still "poor surf conditions," so don't get your hopes up.

After that, the rest of the outlook through to the 24th of July is a slow fade back into small, weak, and often onshore wind-slop. The swell direction swings around, but it's all below 3ft with short periods and low energy. It's just not happening.

Even the best possible window, around Saturday the 18th, is still a gamble. The wind isn't clean, and the quality is lacking. For a break that only breaks rarely, this entire 16-day period is a bust. If you're desperate, keep an eye on that Saturday, but the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer given the cross-shore winds and the lack of quality.

Keep your stick on the car, flakes. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a waiting game.

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.
