The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this 16-day stretch for our area isn't going to have you calling in sick to work. We've got a long, quiet run ahead, so don't be expecting any heroics.

The only spot on the radar is Crow Point, and honestly, it's a tough one to recommend. This place is a point break that rarely breaks, so it's already a bit of a gamble. The swell window is tight, needing a W direction to really get going, and it’s a sheltered setup. For the entire forecast period, we're looking at a string of poor surf conditions. The swell energy is weak, with values mostly in the teens and twenties, only occasionally pushing into the high double digits. The biggest pulse we see is a weak 2ft swell from the West on Tuesday the 28th of July, but it's accompanied by a cross-onshore breeze that'll chop it up. The waves are small, the period is short, and the wind is rarely your friend here.

The best we can really hope for is a couple of windows where the wind lays down. On the morning of Sunday the 2nd of August, we get an offshore breeze from the ENE, which is a major positive. The swell is tiny at 1ft from the WSW, but it'll be clean. Similarly, the mornings of the 7th and 8th of August offer a light cross-offshore breeze, cleaning up the same tiny 0.7ft swell. These are your only real chances for a glassy, rideable surface, but you'll be searching hard for any push.

The second week sees a slight uptick in energy. By the 10th of August, we see a 2ft W swell, and it builds to a 5ft WSW swell by the morning of the 12th. The combined energy hits 370 (moderate) on that last day, which is the most we'll see. But the wind is cross-onshore throughout, and the period is short at 8 seconds, so expect a messy, choppy surface. For a beginner break, anything over 5ft can be a handful, but with the poor conditions, this isn't a beginner-friendly window anyway.

So, to wrap it up: there is no standout session in this 16-day outlook. It's a long stretch of tiny, poor-quality surf. The only real glimmer is the chance of a clean, glassy morning on the 2nd of August or the 7th/8th, but you'll need a longboard and low expectations. This is a blank run, and for a spot like Crow Point that rarely breaks, it's not all that unusual.

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.
