The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s be straight up: the next 16 days at Crow Point are a tough watch. This is a sheltered point break that rarely breaks, and the whole forecast window is a long, quiet slog with hardly any proper surf. The water’s sitting at 66°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year — a solid 4°F above average, so you’ll feel that warmth if you’re keen enough to paddle out on the rare clean moments.
There’s nothing really worth paddling for until Thursday, August 20th. That’s a big gap of over a week from now with only tiny, weak surf and mostly poor conditions. Even then, it’s not a standout. On the morning of Thursday, August 20th, we get a west-northwest swell hitting 8 ft with a short period of 8 seconds and moderate wave energy (735). Wind is light easterly at 3 mph, cross-off, keeping it clean. That’s expert territory — 8 ft is too big for most, and the short period means it’ll be a bit lumpy and quick. The afternoon holds similar, 8 ft from the west-northwest, light northeasterly offshore wind, still clean. Combined energy drops to 647, still moderate. It’s the only window with any real size, but this break is sheltered and rarely breaks, so don’t expect it to fire like a proper point. Crowds are possible here sometimes.
Friday, August 21st morning is worth a mention for the glassy conditions: light north-northeast breeze, near flat at 3 ft from the west with a 6-second period, and weak energy (146). It’s surfable but very ordinary — a small, clean session for beginners who don’t mind tiny waves.
The rest of the window is a write-off. Winds swing onshore or cross-shore, mostly fresh to strong, with messy chop and rain. Swell stays small or short-period. For a point that rarely breaks, this is a blank run. If the wind picks up and the swell gets lumpy, this setup might look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

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.
