The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is one of those outlooks where I’m looking at the charts and scratching my head. We’ve got a 16-day window ahead, and honestly, the surf is not cooperating. The entire period is a write-off for decent waves, so let’s get into it.
The only spot in the mix is Crow Point, and it’s a tricky one. Right off the bat, Crow Point is a sheltered point that rarely breaks, so we’re already fighting an uphill battle. The water temperature is sitting at 65°, which is a solid 4° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a notable anomaly, making it feel more like a summer bath than a typical season.
We’re looking at a long, dry spell. From the start on Saturday, August 1st, through to Sunday, August 16th, there is not a single session worth paddling out for. The wave energy is pitiful. The highest energy we see is a weak 175 (on Thursday, August 6th morning), but that's paired with a 7-second period and a messy cross-shore wind. The swell heights barely reach 5 ft at their peak, and even then, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, turning any potential into a choppy, blown-out mess.
There’s a brief moment on Monday, August 3rd, with glassy conditions and a 2 ft swell, but the energy is a weak 73 (combined energy of all swells directed here). The period is only 8 seconds, so it’s a weak, short-period windswell. The best you could hope for is a few knee-high dribblers, but even then, the quality is poor. Crowd-wise, it’s sometimes busy, but that’s irrelevant when there’s nothing to ride.
The second week doesn’t get any better. The swell direction stays parked in the WSW to W, which is the wrong direction for this sheltered spot – it needs a W swell to work, but even then, the energy stays low. By Sunday, August 16th, we’re down to 1 ft and 32 energy units. It’s a total blank run.
Given the lack of any quality, the only thing that might be interesting here is if the wind picks up strong enough for kite surfing, but for paddle surfing, it’s a hard pass. Crow Point is a rare break, and this forecast confirms it – it doesn’t look like it’ll break properly for us in this entire period.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
