The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what’s coming our way.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are a proper write-off for a surf at Crow Point (United Kingdom). The finder is giving us a flat “poor surf conditions” across every single session, and I’m not about to sugarcoat it. There’s a long stretch of nothing happening here, and it’s almost the entire forecast period. The first week and a half is almost entirely empty of any decent surf, with only tiny, weak swells showing up that won’t break properly.
The only real swell pulse we see is around the 29th of August into the 30th, where the combined energy of all swells directed here hits 328 to 478 (moderate wave energy) – that’s the biggest energy of the run. But with a short period of 7 seconds and strong cross-onshore winds hitting 22 mph, it’s going to be a lumpy, choppy mess. The swell height gets up to 7 ft, which is too big for beginners and only for experts, but the wind and short period will ruin any shape. It’s a beach-and-reef setup, so frankly, with that wind and chop, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The water temperature is 66° – that’s 4° above the long-term average, so it’s notably warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when there’s no surf.
The pattern is poor. Towards the end of the run, like the 4th and 5th of September, we see a brief uptick in energy (162 to 176 – moderate wave energy) with a 3 ft to 4 ft swell from the WSW, but the period is a short 8 seconds, and the wind is cross-on or onshore at 16 to 19 mph. Not a single standout in the whole 16 days.
This is a blank run, and for this area, it’s sadly normal for the season. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
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.
