The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get straight into it.
The next couple of days are going to be a bit of a write-off for Crow Point, so don’t get too keen just yet. We’re looking at a fair bit of cross-onshore and onshore breeze, choppy conditions, and a poor excuse for waves until things start to settle down.
Wednesday morning kicks off with light rain and a moderate cross-on breeze, with the swell around 3ft out of the W. Honestly, it’s messy, and the energy is weak (73). Not worth paddling out unless you’re desperate.
We’ll see a bump in size for Thursday and Friday — Thursday morning has 4.6ft from the WSW, but it’s onshore and choppy. By Friday, we get a bit more size with 6.5ft from the W, but again, it’s cross-onshore with a moderate breeze; the energy picks up to moderate (537) but quality is still poor.
Then we hit a bit of a sweet spot on Saturday morning. It’s clear, the wind drops right back to 3 mph from the NW, and we get a clean 3.3ft swell from the W. That’s the first real window, but it’s small and the crowds can be a bit of a lottery at a spot that rarely breaks. Still, it’s the best we’ve got for a few days. The water temp is 66°, and that’s about 4.7° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s a bit of a treat – you won’t need a thick suit.
Sunday and Monday go downhill again with onshore winds and messy surf, and then Tuesday gets even windier.
The highlight of the whole run looks like Friday, September 11th. That morning, we’ve got a clean 8.2ft W swell, with light offshore (NNW) winds and a long period of 8 seconds. The energy jumps up to strong (961). That’s proper juice. It’s a big day, so definitely for experienced surfers only. The afternoon still has 8.2ft but the wind shifts cross-shore, and it’s a bit more of a mixed bag.
There’s another pulse around Wednesday, September 16th with up to 9.8ft from the WSW, but the wind is fresh cross-shore and lumpy. Plenty of size, but it’s not going to be clean. If it's too messy for paddling, honestly, it might be more interesting for the kite crew.
So, bottom line: the standout is the morning of Friday the 11th. If you can wait for that, you’ll get the best waves of the window. The Saturday morning earlier is a small, clean one for the loggers, but don’t hold your breath for much else.
Stay safe out there.

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.
