The Lowdown
Right, I’ve been looking at this stretch for Crow Point. This spot is a sheltered point that only rarely breaks, so when we get a window, it's something special, but don’t hold your breath. The next couple of weeks are pretty grim, with a long, dry spell of poor conditions.
The water temperature is reading 65°, which is about 4° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s pretty notable, you’ll definitely notice the difference.
For the first week, from Tuesday the 15th right through to Saturday the 19th, it’s a write-off. We’ve got a fresh to strong cross-onshore wind and lumpy, choppy conditions every day. The swell is there, hanging around 5 ft to 7 ft with a short period around 7 seconds, all from the west, which is the optimum direction for this break. But the wind just ruins it. The combined energy is moderate to strong, hitting as high as 494 on the Wednesday morning, but it doesn’t matter with that onshore mess. Sunday morning the 20th is the one bright spot in the whole outlook. The wind drops to a glassy 5 km/h from the SSW, and we get a clean 4 ft west swell with a 10-second period. The wave energy is moderate at 224. It’s surfable, but only just, and it’s still very ordinary conditions – a score of just 1 out of 10 tells you how marginal it is. After that, from Sunday afternoon the 20th through the end of the month, it’s a wasteland. The swell drops right away, falling to 2 ft and then down to just 0.7 ft. The energy plummets to single digits. There’s a few moments of clean offshore or glassy wind on the 22nd, 25th, and 27th, but with almost no swell, it’s barely a ripple. The best of that second week is Sunday morning the 27th – glassy wind and a 3 ft west swell with a 10-second period, giving a moderate energy of 182. It’s surfable, but again, ordinary.
To be honest, the only real standout is Sunday morning, September 20th. It’s the only time the wind and swell align into something a surfer could paddle into. You’ll have to be patient, because this spot rarely breaks, and almost the entire 16 days is a blank. The rest is windswill and junk.

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.
