The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s coming down the line.
Honestly, it's a pretty bleak picture for the next 16 days. The numbers say it all: there’s not a single decent wave in the whole forecast window. We’re looking at a long, flat spell. The first record kicks off on August 31st, and from there right through to September 15th, every single entry is flagged as poor surf conditions. That’s over two weeks of nothing worthwhile.
There’s only one spot in the game, and that’s Crow Point. It’s a sheltered point break that rarely breaks, so it already takes a special kind of swell to get it going. That’s just not happening here.
On August 31st, a 7ft W swell shows up with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 858. Sounds okay, right? Wrong. The wind is howling from the NW at 19 mph, cross-shore and lumpy. It’s a mess. That kind of size and messy wind at a beach-and-reef setup would be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The next few days see the swell drop off to around 3ft on September 1st, but the wind is still junk—cross-on or onshore, making for choppy, poor conditions.
We get a little bump of 6ft to 6ft from the WSW from September 2nd through the 4th, but again, the wind is fresh and onshore or cross-onshore. Combined energy peaks at 366 (moderate), but the 7- to 8-second period is short and weak. It’s not worth paddling out for.
From September 5th onward, the swell fades fast. By the 6th, we’re down to 2ft to 2ft with barely any energy (67 and 43). The rest of the run into September 15th is flat, with heights between 1ft and 2ft. There are some clean moments with light cross-offshore winds on the 10th and 11th, but with wave heights that small and combined energy in the teens and twenties, you’d be floating, not surfing. The 15th offers a slight uptick to 2ft with a 10-second period and energy of 80, but the wind is cross-offshore from the ESE at 16 mph. It’s clean, but there’s just no power.
So the long and short of it: don’t bother. Keep the board in the car and wait for a better run.
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.
Crow Point is 2 km (1 miles) from Appledore. If you plan a holiday in North Devon, look for hotels and other accommodation in Appledore. Appledore has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
