Crow Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Crow Point.

First off, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is a tough one. Over the next 16 days, we’re not really looking at anything that’ll get the heart pumpin’. The water’s sitting at 66°F and that’s a solid 4°F warmer than the norm for this time of year, which is a bit of a head-scratcher for the regulars.

The pattern is pretty bleak. From Thursday the 13th all the way through... well, essentially the whole run, the surf is small and the wind is just not on our side. There’s a long gap of nothing special. The first hint of any real size comes around Tuesday the 18th, where we get a bump up to 5ft from the west, but the wind is a cross-onshore fresh breeze, making it lumpy and messy. The combined energy hits 238 (moderate), but it’s just not clean.

Later on, the week of the 27th and 28th sees a bit more activity. The wind finally turns offshore from the northeast, which is a massive plus for the wave face. By Thursday the 27th afternoon, we get a 4ft west-southwest swell with that sweet offshore wind, and the energy jumps to 291 (moderate). It’s still not big, but it’s the cleanest it’ll be. Then Friday the 28th morning holds 4ft from the west with a fresh offshore breeze and 161 energy. That afternoon, it’s a 3ft west swell, period of 9 seconds, and the conditions are finally described as "surfable waves but very ordinary" – the only session in the whole 16 days that gets any kind of nod.

To be honest, for a break that rarely breaks and is sheltered from the west, this is a pretty normal blank run. The swell never really lines up proper, and the direction is always a bit off. The best bet? If you’re desperate, maybe the 27th or 28th for a quiet, clean paddle on small waves. But don’t expect any standouts. This is a spot for the true locals who know the sandbars, and even then, it’s a waiting game.

Rusty.
