The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. It’s Rusty here.
First off, let’s be honest, this is a tough spell for Crow Point. We’re looking at a real flat spell for the first week and a half. The waves are tiny, mostly 0.3ft to 0.7ft, and the energy is just pathetic. The combined wave energy barely gets into double digits for days, hovering around 6 to 11 (weak). It’s a total write-off for anything with a proper surfboard. You’d be wasting your time.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
The first real sign of life shows up on Saturday, July 26th, with a morning pulse of 6ft swell from the west. The combined energy jumps to 348 (moderate wave energy), which is a solid step up. The wind is cross-off from the NNW, so it’ll be clean. But listen, 6ft is starting to get a bit sizeable for a beginner, and Crow Point is a sheltered spot that rarely breaks. For it to be handing out 6ft, it’s gonna be a rare, punchy wave. Sunday morning, July 27th, drops back to 4ft with clean cross-off wind and energy still at 144 (moderate). That’s probably the pick of the whole run, but it’s still a far cry from pumping.
The following week stays small and messy. A few mornings have clean cross-off breezes, but the swell is under 3ft and the energy is weak. The period is short, around 6 seconds, so it’ll be weak, mushy waves. The best of the worst is probably Thursday, July 30th, with a 3ft morning, clean breeze, and energy at 67 (weak), but it’s still small.
By the start of August, we get a bump in energy on Saturday, August 1st, with 4ft swell and energy hitting 158 (moderate), but the wind is cross-on and choppy, ruining any chance of quality. The whole stretch is just poor.
Honestly, for a spot that rarely breaks, this is a long, flat stretch. There’s no standout. If you’re desperate, the cleanest, biggest window is the morning of July 26th, but keep your expectations on the floor. For any real wave, you’re looking at a long wait.
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.
