The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, and I'm lookin' at the next couple of weeks for our little corner of the world. Gotta be straight with you – it's gonna be a grind. We’ve got a 16-day window here, but for the first several days, it’s pretty much a write-off. There’s not a single surfable moment from now through Thursday, September 4th. That’s a full six-day gap with nothing worth paddling out for. The wind is just howling onshore, or we’ve got lumpy, cross-shore chop that’s ruining whatever swell tries to roll in. It’s frustrating, no two ways about it.

The water temp is sitting at 66°F which is a solid 5°F warmer than what we’d usually expect this time of year. That’s definitely notable, keeps the rubber thinner if you’re brave enough to get out there.

Now, we finally get a bit of a breather on Saturday, September 5th. The morning looks like the only real chance for a session early in this outlook. We’ve got Crow Point showing a little bit of life. Swell is a small 4ft from the W, but the period is a weak 7 seconds, so it's gonna be a bit fat and crumbly. The big win here is the wind: a light 9 mph NNW breeze that’s cross-offshore. That means the surface will be clean, making those weak waves at least rideable. The combined energy is a moderate 198 – nothing powerful, but enough to push you around. Don’t expect any barrels, just a few fun, slow lines to get the arms turning. Crowds are a *sometimes* thing here, but given how rare this window is, it’ll probably be a few of us out there.

Beyond that, it’s a real mixed bag. We get another promising window on Tuesday, September 8th, in the morning. Same setup: clean conditions with a light NNW cross-offshore breeze at 9 mph, and a clean 5ft swell from the W. This one has a bit more juice, with a 10-second period and a combined energy of 408, which is moderate. That’s the best-looking consistency we’ll see all forecast. The afternoon falls apart again as the wind swings cross-shore.

After that, it dries up fast. The energy drops right off into weak, tiny swell for a solid week. There’s a little whisper of something on Saturday, September 12th, with a long-period 11-second groundswell pushing in a tiny 2ft from the W. The period is great, but that size is just a ripple. It’s clean with offshore wind, so if you’re desperate for a log, you might find a knee-high runner. But honestly, for the second week, this is all speculative and low-energy. The blank run is pretty normal for this spot when the pattern shuts down.

For the standout here, look at that Tuesday morning on September 8th. It's the best balance of clean conditions and a little bit of push. Saturday the 5th is your backup if you can't wait. Don't hold your breath for anything after that.

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.
