The Lowdown

Oi, Rusty here. Let me tell you straight up, the outlook for Crow Point is a tough one. We're looking at a 16-day window with hardly a single session that's gonna get the heart pumping. This spot is a sheltered point break that's a "rarely breaks" kind of wave, and this forecast is proving why. It's a real shame, because the vibe is usually solid here, but we're in for a long, lean stretch.

The first week and a half is a total write-off. From the start of the period right through to the 13th of August, conditions are just poor. You've got a tiny, weak, wind-swell most of the time, with the combined energy barely cracking 100 (values like 38 and 22). The only real highlight in that stretch is a brief moment on the morning of the 3rd of August, where the wind goes glassy. But the swell is still a pathetic 2.3ft from the WSW, and the energy is still weak (77). It's a tease, a beautiful window with no wave to back it up. The water is 65.3°F, which is a notable 3.6°F warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the water feels good even if there's nothing to ride.

The closest we get to a pulse is on the 12th of August. The morning has a bit of a lift with a 3.3ft swell from the WSW, but the cross-onshore wind ruins it. By the afternoon, the swell builds to 3.6ft from the WSW, with a moderate energy (203), and the wind goes cross-shore. It's still nothing special, but it's the best of a bad bunch.

The only flicker of something that might be considered "surfable" is on the morning of the 13th of August. The wind is glassy, and the swell is a clean 3.3ft from the WSW, energy is moderate (144). The notes say "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." That's the truth. It's a one-star day at best. For a spot that "rarely breaks," when it finally does show a pulse, it's accompanied by that cross-onshore wind later in the day.

The real kicker comes at the very end of the 16 days. On the 16th of August, a Sunday morning, the swell jumps to 6.2ft from the W, with a strong energy of 368. By the afternoon, it's a solid 6.6ft from the W, energy hitting 441. That's real swell. But the wind is a cross-onshore affair, making it choppy and lumpy. The period is only 7-8 seconds, so it's a short-period wind swell, which is going to be a mess with that wind. For a sheltered point like Crow Point, this is going to be a washed-out, choppy mess. The swell size is over 5ft, so it's going to be a bit much for beginners, and the quality will be poor for everyone else. Honestly, with that much wind and that kind of lumpy, cross-onshore setup, this looks more interesting for a kiter than a paddle surfer.

So, the summary is this: a whole lot of nothing for over a week, a tiny blip of a glassy but tiny wave on the 13th, and then a disappointing, blown-out 6.6ft swell at the end. It's a blank run. Crow Point is a wave that needs everything to line up perfectly, and this forecast just doesn't provide it. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, leave the boards at home.

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.
