The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what Crow Point has cookin' over the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it's a pretty slow start. We’ve got a real long stretch here with no good surf in sight. From now, all the way until late on the 23rd of September, it’s all poor conditions. Light winds but messy, onshore breezes, and weak swells. You’ll see some waves, sure, but they’re gonna be chopped up and ugly. Not worth paddling out for.
Now, things finally start to turn around on the morning of the 24th of September. We’ve got a 8ft swell rolling in from the west, with an 8 second period, and the wind goes glassy. That’s a proper clean-up. The combined energy is strong (746), and the forecast is for good surf. This is the first real standout of the outlook. Crow Point is a sheltered point break, so it'll handle that west swell nicely. It’s a beginner spot normally, but that’s a decent size – might be a bit much for total beginners, but for everyone else, it’s on.
But the true standout, the one you want to circle on your calendar, is the 25th of September. Friday morning sees an 8ft swell from the WSW, with a 9 second period, and glassy conditions again. The combined energy jumps to 1051 – that’s strong, powerful surf. This is very good surf, and the conditions look pristine. It’s gonna be big, over 8ft, so this is for experienced surfers only. The wind stays light and clean through the afternoon, and even into Saturday the 26th looks excellent with another 8ft glassy morning.
So, overall, you’ve got a long wait. The first week and a half is a write-off. But keep your eyes on the 24th, and especially the 25th of September. That’s the day the west swell lights up Crow Point with clean, powerful waves.
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.
