The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll level with you – this next stretch is a tough one. We’ve got a full 16-day window, but it’s a real dry spell. The only break on the cards is Crow Point, and she’s a rare bird that barely breaks, so we’re looking at a long, quiet run. The first proper recommendation doesn’t even show up until the 3rd of August, and even then, it’s pretty grim. Let’s walk through it.
Monday, 3rd August kicks things off with a tiny 3ft swell from the WSW, period at 9 seconds. The water’s a touch warmer than usual at 65°, with a 4° anomaly – nothing crazy, just a bit above average for this time of year. Winds are light and cross-offshore from the ESE, so it’s clean, but the combined swell energy is a weak 84, and the wave comment says “poor surf conditions.” It’s not going to be worth paddling out for.
Through Tuesday and Wednesday the swell picks up a little – 4ft on Tuesday morning from the WSW, period dropping to a short 7 seconds, but the wind swings onshore from the SW, then gets fresh from the W on Wednesday with 6ft and 6ft swells. The combined energy bumps up to 378 and 333, so there’s some moderate juice in the water, but it’s lumpy and cross-onshore. Not surfable.
Thursday the 6th sees cleaner skies but moderate cross-shore winds with a 5ft swell from the W, period down at 6 seconds. Still poor. Friday the 7th has a moment of glassy calm in the morning with zero wind, but the swell is only 2ft and weak – 19 on the energy scale. Not enough to ride.
From the 8th of August right through to the 18th, it’s all tiny or non-existent. Swell heights mostly below 2ft, periods all over the place but often short, and the wind is generally cross-onshore or cross. The combined energy rarely cracks 100. Saturday the 15th has a 19 mph onshore blow with only 1ft of swell – that’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. Crow Point rarely breaks, and this forecast proves it. The best you could hope for is maybe Sunday the 16th morning with a 2ft W swell, light cross-offshore wind from the NNW, and clean conditions – but that’s scraping the barrel. It’s a flat spell. Sometimes the ocean just goes quiet. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board at home.
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.
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.
