The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. The next 16 days are looking pretty bleak for surf around here. There’s a long stretch of poor conditions, and you’ll be waiting a while for anything decent. The water’s a warm 66°F, which is about 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least the water’s nice if you decide to go for a swim instead.
The only break that showed up is Crow Point, a point that’s sheltered from the swell and rarely breaks. It’s a friendly wave for beginners, but with the swell coming from the west, it’s not doing much. The first real chance of a surf is on Friday, September 11th in the morning. You’ve got a 5ft swell from the west, with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is a gentle cross-offshore breeze. The wave energy is moderate at 347, and the conditions are clean. It’s not a big day, but it’s the best you’ll get.
After that, there’s a gap of a few days with nothing. The next little window is on Tuesday, September 15th in the afternoon. The wind goes glassy from the north, and the swell drops to 3ft from the west, with a period of 10 seconds. The energy is 161, and it’s glassy. It’s a tiny, clean wave, but it’s not going to get the heart racing.
The last week of the forecast is mostly a bust. Saturday, September 19th has a calm morning with a 3ft swell from the west-northwest, but the energy is weak at 82 and the swell period is short at 7 seconds. Not worth it. There are a few clean moments on Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd of September, with swells between 2ft and 3ft from the west, but the energy is too weak and the waves are too small.
If you’re looking for the best of a bad lot, it’s Friday the 11th of September morning at Crow Point. That 5ft west swell with the clean cross-offshore wind is the one moment that’s worth paddling out for. The rest of the time, you’re better off checking the forecast again.

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.
