The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a grim outlook for Crow Point. This is a point break that only rarely breaks, and it’s sheltered from a lot of swell. The whole sixteen-day window is a write-off, with every single session being flagged as poor surf conditions. There’s nothing here that’s worth paddling out for.
The first few days are a no-go. The water temperature is sitting at 65°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only positive. You’ve got a weak, short-period swell with combined energy of only 52 (very weak) and cross-onshore winds from the SSW blowing at 16 mph. It’s a choppy mess.
We see a pulse of energy come through on the 7th and 8th of September, with the swell building to 6 ft from the west and the period stretching out to 13 seconds, giving combined energy of 972 (moderate). That sounds promising, but the wind is all wrong – cross-onshore and cross-shore, keeping everything lumpy and chopped up. The same story repeats itself through the middle of the month. The swell gets bigger, up to 10 ft on the 16th of September with a massive 1357 combined energy (strong), but it’s still cross-shore or onshore, and the wave quality is rated as marginal at best due to tide issues. That’s a lot of water moving around with no real shape to it.
Later in the second week, there’s a brief moment on the morning of the 13th of September where the wind goes light and cross-offshore from the north, with a clean description. The swell is tiny, only 3 ft from the WSW with a combined energy of 98 (weak), so it’s not going to be doing much, but at least it would be clean. That’s the closest we get to a window.
The final week sees the same pattern: onshore winds, messy conditions, and the energy dropping right off. The 18th of September has 10 ft swell with 1520 combined energy (very strong), but it’s onshore and messy. This setup, with strong wind and significant swell, looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Honestly, there’s no standout, no best on offer. It’s a blank run, and given that this spot rarely breaks and is inconsistent, a run like this is more normal for the area. Don’t hold your breath.

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.
Crow Point is 2 km (1 miles) from Appledore. If you plan a holiday in North Devon, look for hotels and other accommodation in Appledore. Appledore has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
