The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Crow Point isn’t giving us much to work with for the next two weeks.
Honestly, from Saturday the 15th all the way through to Sunday the 23rd, it’s a bust. We’re looking at flat, short-period slop day after day, with cross-shore and onshore winds keeping the surface choppy. Wave heights are tiny—between 1ft and 3ft for most of that stretch, and the combined swell energy is weak, barely cracking 100. Not worth paddling out.
Finally, on Monday the 24th, there’s a little something. Early morning, wind goes light and cross-off, and the swell bumps to 5ft from the WSW with energy hitting 216. It’s still just “surfable but ordinary,” but that’s the best we get. Get it early before the wind shifts. For beginners, 5ft is a bit much.
Tuesday the 25th is flat again and messy, and the rest of the month drops back to tiny waves with poor wind. The last day, Sunday the 30th, shows a jump to 6ft from the W with a clean cross-off wind, but the wind is moderate, and the conditions are still poor. Energy gets to 274, but it’s a tease.
Water temp is about average. Crow Point rarely breaks, and it’s rarely breaking now. If you’re into kite surfing, the choppy afternoons will be more fun than a surfboard. Otherwise, save the petrol.
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.
