The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for Crow Point over the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, it’s a pretty grim stretch. Crow Point is a sheltered point break that rarely breaks and it’s mostly delivering the absolute bare minimum for the next week or so. The water is a very warm 66°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s out of the ordinary. The swell energy is weak for days, with combined energy figures mostly in the low double digits or single digits. For the first several days, from Tuesday the 11th right through to the weekend, we’re looking at tiny waves under 2ft to barely 4ft, with poor surf conditions and a score of zero. The wind is a problem too – mostly cross or cross-onshore, with a bit of chop. The morning of Saturday the 15th shows a glimmer of clean conditions with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is only 3ft and the energy is a weak 95 (still moderate), so it’s barely a bump.

Sunday the 16th morning looks glassy – zero wind – but the swell is a pathetic 2ft with a combined energy of just 27. That’s flat.

The best we’ve got in the whole run is Monday the 17th afternoon. The wind turns moderate offshore from the NNE at 12 mph, and the swell bumps up to 4ft from the west with an 8-second period and a combined energy of 182 (moderate). The guidance says it’s surfable waves but very ordinary conditions, getting a score of 1 out of 10. That’s the standout, but it’s not a standout by any stretch – just the least bad day. Crowds are flagged as ‘sometimes’ here, so you might not have the place to yourself, but honestly, with waves this small and weak, it won’t be packed.

After that, things go back to small and messy. The morning of Tuesday the 18th is clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is only 3ft. Then we hit a real gap. From Wednesday the 19th onward, the surf stays poor – mostly under 3ft, with onshore winds, and the quality is consistently scored as zero. The end of the run, around Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th, sees a big spike in swell energy – hitting 353, 501, and even 1815 on the 24th morning – but the waves are 5ft to 10ft with strong cross-onshore winds and messy conditions. That’s not for paddle surfing; that’s more of a kite setup. The direction is WSW, which is cross-on here, and the period is short (8-10 seconds), so it’s going to be a lumpy, blown-out mess.

Bottom line: There’s no good surf on offer in this 16-day window. Crow Point is a picky spot that rarely breaks, and this forecast confirms it’s a blank run. The only day that’s even surfable is Monday the 17th afternoon, and even that’s ordinary. Keep the board in the shed and check back later – forecasts can change.

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.
