The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, in feet and Fahrenheit. Let’s break it down.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough start. We’re looking at a long dry spell. From the beginning of the forecast right through until the 9th of August, there’s just nothing doing. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and Crow Point is barely even showing a pulse. It’s a rare-breaks spot anyway, and this run of flat, choppy junk is pretty normal for the area when it’s not working. Don’t lose hope though – forecasts can change, and it doesn’t stay this quiet forever.
Now, things start to get a little interesting on the 10th of August. Monday morning, we see a bit of a pulse. Crow Point will pick up a 5ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 10 seconds. That’s a moderate groundswell, and the combined energy is moderate (511). The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy, but at least it’s not a total write-off. The water is about 66°, which is 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s noticeably warm, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the 10th of August morning is the one to look at. The swell is pushing 5ft, which is a bit much for beginners, but it’s nothing scary for a competent surfer. The wind is light and cross, so it’ll be a bit bumpy, but it’s the best we’ve got in the whole 16-day window. The 11th of August drops off a bit again, with 4ft and cross-on breezes, so it’s not going to be clean.
So, to wrap it up: the first week and a half is a total write-off. The only real window to watch is the 10th of August, and even then it’s marginal. Crow Point is a rare spot, and it’s showing why. Keep an eye on the sky, and maybe spend the first week fixing your dings.
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.
