Crow Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you — this next 16 days is a real quiet stretch for the area. We're looking at a long, long gap of tiny, poor-quality surf, so if you're itching to paddle out, you might want to temper those expectations.

First up, the only break on the radar is Crow Point, and it's a tough one. This spot rarely breaks anyway, and unfortunately, the next two weeks don't look like they'll change that. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, which is no surprise.

We kick off on Wednesday, 15th July, with a tiny 1 ft W swell and a short period around 10 seconds. The combined energy is weak (28), and the wind is a fresh 19 mph easterly, making it cross-off. It's clean, but there's just no power. The afternoon eases to a lighter 12 mph NE offshore, but the swell is still tiny.

Thursday, 16th July, drops even further. Morning sees a 0.3 ft SW swell with a long 14-second period, but energy is a paltry 16. The wind is cross-off, so it's clean, but it's barely a ripple. The afternoon brings a 1 ft W swell back, but it's short-period at 8 seconds and still weak.

Friday, 17th July, through to the end of the first week is more of the same. We're looking at 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft swells, all with weak energy (single digits to low teens). Winds are light to moderate, mostly offshore or cross-off, so the surface is clean, but there's simply nothing to ride. This is a blank run.

The second week doesn't offer much hope. From Monday, 21st July, through to Wednesday, 29th July, it's a relentless march of 0.7 ft to 1 ft W swells, with weak energy (3 to 18). The wind mostly stays light to moderate, but it's often cross or cross-on, which adds a bit of chop to the already tiny surf. The swell direction is west, which is the optimum direction for Crow Point, but there's just no size to make it work.

The only slight lift comes on Saturday, 25th July, in the afternoon. We get a 2 ft W swell, but with a short period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy only reaches 47. The wind is a moderate 12 mph cross-on from the WNW, making it choppy. It's still poor surf conditions.

The final days of July, from the 27th to the 30th, are a write-off. Rain showers and onshore winds from the WSW and SSW bring lumpy, choppy conditions on top of swells that never break 1 ft. This isn't paddle surfing weather; with the strong onshore winds and small, poor-quality waves, it's more of a kite-surfing setup, if anything.

The honest truth is, there is no standout session. The entire 16-day window is a dud. Crow Point is inconsistent at the best of times, and this is one of those long blank runs that's normal for the area. Don't hold your breath.

Rusty.
