The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with each other. I’ve looked at what’s on offer for Crow Point, and to be honest, it’s a tough watch. The whole 16-day window is plagued by poor surf conditions – every single slot gets the “poor surf conditions” tag, with scores to match. This run is a blank one, and for a spot that’s sheltered and rarely breaks anyway, it’s not unusual to see such a long quiet spell.
There’s no standout session, no real window where the stars align. The nearest we get to something is maybe the afternoon of Saturday the 22nd, when the wind turns offshore from the ENE at 15 mph and it’s clean, but that’s with a tiny 1 ft swell from the west. The morning of Sunday 28th does get a glassy wind from the WSW, but again, just 2 ft of swell. The truth is, if you’re in the water at Crow Point this fortnight, you’ll be floating more than riding.
What’s the water doing? On the first mention, Saturday the 15th morning, the water temp is 66° with a 2° anomaly – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, so the water feels nice, but the surf just isn’t there. Wave energy is weak the whole way, barely climbing above 53 (53) on the best morning. For a break that only works on a west swell and rarely breaks, you’d want a bigger push. The combined swell energy does hit 142 on Tuesday 18th morning, but that’s a 4 ft west windswell with a short 6-second period, and the wind is a messy cross-onshore at 12 mph – not worth paddling out for.
Basically, leave the board at home. It’s one of those patches where the ocean’s on a go-slow. A blank run like this is just how it goes here sometimes.
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.
