The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming for Crow Point over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – we’re looking at a real tough stretch here. Crow Point is a sheltered point that rarely breaks, and the forecast is reflecting that. For the first few days, it’s not really going to be worth paddling out. The water’s sitting at 66°, which is a solid 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s noticeable, almost feels like we skipped straight to a warmer season, but the surf just isn’t playing ball.
The only time where I’d even raise an eyebrow is Tuesday, September 8th, in the morning. The swell is coming in at 6ft from the west, with a period of 9 seconds. It won’t be big, but the combined energy is moderate (481). The wind is coming from the NNW at 12 mph, which is a cross-offshore wind, so the conditions are described as clean. It's a marginal call given the tide, but this is the closest thing to a window we get. Still, Crow Point is for beginners but rarely breaks – so it’s going to take a good setup to see it work.
After that, things fall apart. We’ve got onshore winds, lumpy chop, and dropping swell heights. All the scores are sitting at zero right through to mid-September. That’s a blank run that lasts nearly two weeks.
Now, what’s interesting is Sunday, September 20th, in the morning. The swell is only 4ft from the west, but the period jumps up to 12 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. The combined energy is solid moderate at (432). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the ESE at 9 mph, keeping it clean. But given the break is sheltered and rarely works, this is a long-range hope, not a sure thing.
The very end of the run, Monday and Tuesday, September 21st and 22nd, the swell is tiny (1ft to 1ft) with hardly any energy – just not worth calling in sick for.
Bottom line: keep the board in the car for Tuesday morning the 8th if you’re desperate, and maybe check Sunday the 20th on the long-range apps, but don’t hold your breath. Crow Point is normally a quiet spot for a reason.

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.
Crow Point is 2 km (1 miles) from Appledore. If you plan a holiday in North Devon, look for hotels and other accommodation in Appledore. Appledore has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
