The Lowdown
Gutted, folks. I’ve been staring at the charts for Crow Point and I’ll be straight with you: it’s a bleak stretch for the next 16 days. This is one of those times when the ocean just isn't cooperating, and there are no good surf options on offer. We’ve got a rare spot that’s almost always breaking, but the conditions just aren’t lining up for a proper session.
The water is running real warm for this time of year, like 5° warmer than usual, so if you’re just looking for a dip, it’s lovely. But for a surf? Forget it. The swell is weak for the most part, and when it does pick up a little, the wind is usually blowing the wrong way or it’s just messy.
Looking at the start of the period, Wednesday the 9th is a no-go. There’s a touch of swell but it’s crossed up and the energy is weak (224). Same story for Thursday – the wind goes onshore and it’s just chopped out. The only flicker of hope comes Friday morning, the 11th. We get a bit of a clean-up with a light cross-offshore breeze and the swell jumps a bit. It’s still only 4ft of wind swell, but the period stretches out to 10 seconds, which gives it a bit more push. The energy is moderate (306), but it's the best we're going to see. It’s surfable but pretty ordinary. If you're keen, that's your window.
From there, it’s a write-off. Saturday and Sunday bring fresh onshores and the swell gets lumpy and messy. The next week is more of the same: small, weak, and mostly wind-affected. There is a brief moment on Monday the 21st where the period jumps to a long 11 seconds, but the swell is tiny at 2ft and the wind is cross-onshore. It’s just not worth the paddle.
Honestly, this looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a surfer. Crow Point is a sheltered point break, but with the wind and the poor quality, it’s going to be a frustrating paddle. It’s one of those blank runs that can happen, but I wouldn't hold your breath for it to change too much. We’re just in a poor run of form.
Keep the froth alive, check back in a bit, but for now, do something else.
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.
