Table - best surf conditions forecast for Crow Point over the next 16 days.


The Lowdown

Alright, let’s look at what we’ve got. Crow Point is a sheltered point that rarely breaks, and over the next 16 days it’s mostly just tiny, weak signals and poor surf conditions. The water’s sitting at 65°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, about 4°F above average, so it’s a weird warm spell.

The first recommendation doesn’t come until Sunday afternoon, July 19th, but it’s a real letdown: just 0.3ft of swell from the west, with a period of 10 seconds, and a combined wave energy of only 3 (weak). The wind is a light cross-off from the NNW at 9 mph, so the surface is clean, but there’s barely a ripple. Not worth paddling for.

Monday morning July 20th offers the same 0.3ft, with a longer period of 12 seconds and ENE wind at 6 mph, cross-off, clean but tiny. The afternoon picks up a stiffer NNW breeze at 12 mph, still cross-off, but the swell is still 0.3ft.

Tuesday July 21st morning: 0.7ft, 10-second period, with a nice offshore ENE wind at 6 mph. Clean, but so small. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-shore NW wind.

Wednesday July 22nd stays at 0.7ft, but the wind goes cross-shore and builds to 16 mph by the afternoon, with a moderate cross-chop. Not fun.

Thursday July 23rd morning is back to clean with an ENE offshore at 6 mph, but still only 0.7ft. The energy is a bit higher at 13 (weak). Still not rideable.

Friday July 24th morning is the best window this whole first week: glassy, with a light NW breeze at 3 mph, and 0.7ft from the west, period of 8 seconds. It’s clean, but it’s still tiny. The afternoon gets a cross-shore wind and chop.

From Saturday July 25th onward, the swell gets even smaller, with periods dropping to 3-4 seconds, and the energy falls to 2 or 4. That’s flat.

There’s a gap from July 25th all the way to Tuesday July 28th, when the swell finally shows some life. On Tuesday morning July 28th, we get 5ft from the west, period 7 seconds, and a combined energy of 243 (moderate). That’s the biggest swell of the outlook. But the wind is a cross-shore NW at 16 mph, with a cross-chop. The waves will be lumpy and a bit messy. For a spot that’s sheltered and rarely breaks, this is a real gamble. It’s a short period windswell, so shape won’t be great. The afternoon drops to 4ft, still moderate energy at 151, but the wind stays cross-shore.

Wednesday July 29th drops to 3ft, energy 74, with a fresh NW breeze at 19 mph, cross-shore and lumpy. Not worth it.

The rest of the outlook into early August stays small, with the best being Sunday August 2nd morning: 2ft, 5-second period, energy 79, with a light offshore N wind at 6 mph. Clean, but still weak. Monday August 3rd morning offers 3ft, 8-second period, energy 90, with a light offshore N wind at 9 mph. Clean again, but still marginal.

Honestly, the standout is the Tuesday July 28th morning window – it’s the only time the swell gets over 5ft, but it’s cross-shore and choppy, and the short period means it’ll be a bit of a mess. If you’re an expert and keen, you might find something, but it’s not a classic. The rest of the run is a write-off. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a pretty normal blank spell.

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.
