The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you on this one. We’re looking at a pretty bleak 16-day stretch for Crow Point. There is no decent surf on offer for the entire period. That’s it.
The first record we see is on Friday, August 21st, and straight away it’s a washout. We’ve got a tiny 2-foot swell from the west with a 9-second period, but with a cross-offshore wind at 12 mph, it’s just not doing anything. The combined swell energy is weak at just 62, and the call is poor surf conditions. That’s the story all the way through to Saturday, September 5th.
Now, there are moments where the swell does pick up, like on Friday, August 28th with a 4-foot swell and again Saturday, August 29th with a 7-foot swell from the west, producing some moderate wave energy (up to 513). But the wind is always junk—cross-offshore, cross-onshore, or onshore, and often strong. It’s going to be choppy, lumpy, and messy. The period on those bigger days is short, around 7 to 8 seconds, so it won’t hold any shape. This is a sheltered point break that rarely breaks, and for good reason—the angles just aren’t lining up.
There are a few clean-looking mornings, like Saturday, August 22nd and Sunday, August 23rd, but the swell is tiny, barely 1 feet, with next to no energy. On Saturday, September 5th, we’re staring at a 0.3-foot swell. Water temp? Not even mentioned in this file, so I can’t tell you if it’s warm or cold.
If you’ve got a kite, those gusty afternoons with 7 feet of messy windswell might look tempting, but for a paddle surfer, this is a total blank run. For this area, a run like this isn't unusual, so don’t hold your breath. 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.
