The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve had a look at the charts for Crow Point, and I’ve got to be straight with you—it’s a tough stretch ahead. The surf just isn’t there for a proper paddle session for most of this 16-day run. There’s a long gap with barely anything rideable right through until early September, so don’t get your hopes up.
We kick off Saturday the 29th of August with light rain and a weak 4ft SW swell rolling in at a short 6 seconds. The wind is cross-onshore at 12 mph, and it’s messy. Combine that with the swell energy sitting at just 77, and it’s a no-go. The water temp is 67°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only upside. The afternoon stays poor, with a fresh cross-onshore breeze and lumpy conditions.
Sunday the 30th is more of the same—cloudy, 5ft of WSW swell, but the period is still short at 9 seconds, and the wind stays cross-onshore. The energy picks up a bit to 288, but it’s still choppy. By Monday the 31st, we see a 8ft W swell with a 9-second period, and the energy jumps to 859, but the wind is cross-shore and moderate, so it’s got a cross-chop messing it up. This is getting into expert-only territory size-wise, but the conditions are still poor.
Tuesday the 1st of September drops back to 3ft, wind onshore, not worth a mention. Wednesday the 2nd brings a 7ft WSW swell with a short 6-second period and onshore wind at 19 mph—that’s a choppy, blown-out combo. The energy is 312, but it’s just not surfable. Thursday and Friday are similar: onshore winds, cross-onshore, and messy conditions. The wind really cranks up Friday the 4th—28 mph from the west with a strong breeze and messy surf. Honestly, this is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle surfing one.
Now, there’s a glimmer right at the end. On Monday the 7th of September, we get a 6ft W swell with a 10-second period, and the wind goes glassy from the NNE at just 3 mph. The energy is 544, and the conditions are glassy. That’s the best-looking window in the whole outlook. The swell is still a bit sizeable for beginners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, that morning could be worth a look. The break is a sheltered point, so it should hold that W swell nicely. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so keep that in mind.
The rest of the second week fades fast—small, weak, or windy. The 10th of September has a tiny 0.7ft swell and a 12-second period, but the wind is onshore and strong. The energy is only 17. It’s flat.
Bottom line: the only real window is Monday morning the 7th. The rest is a write-off. Don’t sell your board, but maybe take a week off.

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.
