The Lowdown

Howdy, Rusty here. Let’s cut to it – Crow Point isn’t giving us much to work with over the next 16 days. Most of it is flat, blown out, or just plain rubbish. We’ve got a long dry spell with only a couple of moments that might be worth a look.

Starting Thursday 20 August, it’s a no-go. Rain showers, a fresh 30 km/h cross-wind, and lumpy 5 ft swell from the west with a short 7-second period. Energy is moderate at 366 but the quality is poor. Friday 21 and Saturday 22 are tiny – 1 ft to 2 ft, barely worth paddling out. Water temperature’s 19° – that’s 2° warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s really unusual, you’ll feel the difference.

Sunday 23 through Wednesday 26 August stays flat to small: 0.3 ft to 4 ft, mostly cross-shore winds, low energy. Wednesday afternoon bumps to 4 ft from the west-southwest but period’s only 7 seconds and it’s cross-shore chop. Energy hits 244, but it’s poor.

Thursday 27 and Friday 28 bring a bit more size – 3 ft on Thursday morning but onshore and choppy. Friday afternoon is the real spike: 10 ft from the west-southwest with a very short 8-second period, energy at 1123 – that’s strong, but it’s cross-onshore and lumpy, so it’s more of a kite day than a paddle day.

Saturday 29 August morning is the only stand-out. We’ve got 8 ft from the west with a 9-second period, energy at 1029 (strong), and light cross-onshore wind at 15 km/h. The file calls it “marginal” with a score of 1, and it’s a rare break. Swell’s over 8 ft, so experts only – beginners keep your feet dry. It’s a point break, so the longer period will give some shape, but the cross-onshore wind will mess it up some. Crowds are only “sometimes” a problem, which helps.

After that it drops off. Sunday 30 August has 3 ft with a fresh 30 km/h offshore wind from the northeast – clean but tiny. Monday 31 is small and cross-shore. Into September, Wednesday 2 September morning sees 4 ft from the west-southwest with a 6-second period, clean cross-offshore wind, energy at 124. The afternoon is similar – 4 ft, light wind, clean, scored as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions”. Thursday 3 September has 4 ft from the west in the morning with glassy calm conditions, then 6 ft in the afternoon but short period. Friday 4 September is tiny and glassy.

So the one to aim for is Saturday 29 August morning for the bigger 8 ft west swell, but only if you’re experienced and don’t mind a bit of wind and uncertain tide. The rest is pretty meagre – a long quiet spell for this spot.

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.
