The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for the imperial crew.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty rubbish for any good surfing. We’ve got a serious lull, so don’t get excited. For the first ten days or so, it’s all just messy, onshore slop. The conditions are consistently poor, with cross-onshore or onshore winds wrecking whatever small swell is trying to build. The combined energy of all swells directed here is often weak, with readings like 157 and 132, barely squeaking into the moderate zone on a couple of afternoons. The swell is mostly short period, around 7 to 9 seconds, so no real power or shape to it. The waves just aren’t worth paddling out for.
There’s a pretty big gap of about ten days with no surf worth a mention. The first real chance for a wave comes way down the line, on the 12th of September. The Saturday morning will show a bit of a W swell at about 5ft, but the real standout is the afternoon. That’s when the wind switches to offshore from the NE, giving us clean conditions at Crow Point (a sheltered point). The swell drops a little to about 4ft, but with that offshore wind, it should be rideable. The combined energy is moderate at 152. It won’t be firing, but it’ll be the cleanest we’ve seen in a while. Don’t get too pumped though – the period is still short at 8 seconds, so it won’t have much push.
Then on the 15th of September, Tuesday, we get another little window. The morning looks okay with a 3ft W swell, a long period of 12 seconds, and clean conditions with a gentle offshore breeze from the ENE. The combined energy is a solid 289. This groundswell will have a bit more grunt, and at a point break like Crow Point, that longer period should wrap in nicely. It’s a rare break, so don’t expect a packed lineup, but it’s also a beginner-friendly spot, so if you’re learning, this is your session. Just remember the waves might be a bit inconsistent because of the “rarely breaks” nature of the place.
Overall, it’s a bleak outlook with nothing for the first week and a half. The 12th and the 15th are your only real chances.

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.
