Crow Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve scanned the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I’ve got to be straight with you: it’s a tough time to be a surfer around here. We’re looking at a blank run that stretches for the entire 16-day forecast period.

For any day from now through to July 22nd, the swell is tiny and the energy is weak. There isn't a single recommendation that scores above zero. The combined energy of all swells for every session is so low, never even getting close to 100, and most of the time it's barely registering at all – values like 36 or 7 – which tells you just how little there is to work with.

Let’s talk about Crow Point. It’s a sheltered point, so it needs a specific west swell to even think about breaking, and even then it’s described as "rarely breaks." The best we see is the odd westerly pulse coming in at 1ft to 2ft, with a period around 8-10 seconds. The problem is, the wind is all over the shop. On the morning of July 9th, it’s glassy (NNW 3 mph) and the morning of the 10th is clean, but the swell is too weak to push through. The 9th and 10th offer the cleanest conditions, but with only 1ft to 2ft of west swell (energy around 29-56), you’d be lucky to find a ripple. The 12th of July sees a very long period pulse (21 seconds) but it’s a paltry 0.3ft – that’s more of a lake than an ocean. That kind of period on such a small swell just means long waits between nothing.

Because the swell is consistently under 2ft for the whole run, this setup isn't even interesting for kite surfing. It’s just flat.

Look, when a spot is "rarely breaks" and we get a run like this, it’s not a surprise. It’s just a waiting game. Sometimes you get lucky with a last-minute change, but for now, this is what we’ve got.

Rusty.
