The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s call it like it is – this stretch is a rough one for this part of the coast. Crow Point is a sheltered west-facing point that rarely breaks, so it needs everything to line up. Over the next 16 days, it’s mostly a bust.
Water temp is running 65°F right now, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s about the only interesting thing going on.
Saturday the 12th starts off with a messy 7ft swell out of the west-southwest, hammered by strong onshore wind. Poor conditions. Sunday and Monday stay choppy and onshore. Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th see swell between 5ft and 5ft from the west, with moderate to fresh cross-shore wind. Wave energy gets up to moderate levels (392-607), but it’s all lumpy cross-chop – not surfable here.
No good windows for a long while. Thursday the 17th through Saturday the 19th is more of the same: fresh cross-shore wind, swell around 5ft to 6ft, wave energy in the moderate range (206-318). It’s frustrating.
Then, there’s one glimmer. Monday the 21st morning: swell drops to 4ft from the west, the wind goes glassy at just 5 km/h (3 mph) from the west. Wave energy is weak (112). The waves are surfable but very ordinary. That’s the best we get – and it’s not a stand out, just the only one that’s even remotely worth a look.
From Tuesday the 22nd through Sunday the 27th, it dies completely. Swell drops below 2ft, wave energy in the single digits or low tens. A couple clean patches on the 23rd and 27th, but the swell is only 1ft to 0.7ft – nothing to ride.
Plain and simple: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. Crow Point rarely breaks, and when it does, the wind hasn’t cooperated. This kind of blank run is more normal for this spot. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
