The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve had a proper look at the charts and, honestly, it’s a tough stretch for a paddle. Crow Point is our only real option on the table for the next sixteen days, and it’s a bit of a heartbreaker.

Crow Point is a sheltered, beginner-friendly point break that needs a good W swell to wake up. Problem is, it’s a spot that *rarely breaks*, and this forecast is a long stretch of almost nothing. For the first solid week and a half, from Wednesday the 22nd right through to the end of July, we’re looking at tiny dribble. Swell heights barely tickle 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with weak combined wave energy rarely scraping past 50 (7-46). The wind isn’t helping either, mostly cross or cross-onshore with a chop. You’d be hard-pressed to get a ride.

There is a short window that starts to show some life around the middle of the first week of August. On Saturday the 1st, the swell bumps up to 5 ft and 4 ft from the W and WSW, and the combined energy gets moving with readings of 384 and 328 – a moderate surge of power. But it’s messy. The wind is cross-onshore at 12 mph, so the wave face won’t be clean. It’s surfable, but you’ll be fighting chop.

The one fleeting moment that could be worth a dawny is on Sunday the 2nd of August. Early afternoon shows a 6 ft swell from the WSW with that long-period, 8-second groundswell energy (345 energy reading). More importantly, the wind goes completely glassy – calm, 0 mph from the NNW. That’s the golden ticket for clean surfaces. The water temp is about average for the time of year, though it was running a touch warmer than normal at the start of the period. The swell is pushing 6 ft, which is a decent size but manageable for Crow Point’s sheltered setup, though getting a bit chunky for a beginner. It’s the only real standout in the whole run. Expect it to be quiet crowd-wise, as this area rarely sees a rush.

After that brief window, the swell backs off again with onshore winds taking over through the rest of the forecast. It’s a long, blank run, but for a rarely-breaking spot like this, a big stretch of flatness isn’t unusual. Stick to checking that Sunday afternoon glass-off, and keep an eye on the sky; forecasts can change.

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.
